Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile phones are vulnerable to damage from excessive heat, water, contamination, and dirt when used outdoors, and their screens are not usable in direct sunlight.

Innovation Solution

A mobile phone stand with a base and a post that supports the phone above the ground, featuring a shade to protect from sunlight and contamination, and includes adjustable support implements for various environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the mobile phone is placed directly on the ground or outdoor surface, then it is easy to use and stable, but it is vulnerable to contamination from dirt, sand, and excessive heat

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontamination and heat exposureVSAvoidsimplicity of placement

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a stand as an intermediary object between the mobile phone and the ground surface. The stand elevates the phone, creating physical separation that prevents direct contact with contaminants and heat sources. This mediator structure allows the phone to remain accessible while protected from harmful environmental factors during outdoor use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If the mobile phone is used in direct sunlight, then outdoor visibility and communication are maintained, but the screen becomes unusable and the phone overheats

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescreen visibilityVSAvoidphone temperature

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a shade structure as an intermediary element that blocks direct sunlight from reaching the mobile phone. This shade creates a shaded microenvironment where the phone remains cool and the screen remains visible, allowing outdoor use without the harmful effects of direct solar exposure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the mobile phone is elevated above the ground using a stand, then protection from contamination is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontamination protectionVSAvoidstand structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the protection system into separate functional components: a base structure for elevation, a shade component for sun protection, and optional attachment mechanisms. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall structure relatively simple and modular.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The stand structure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: elevating the phone for protection, providing a stable surface for placement, and supporting the shade structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A support assembly for a portable electronic device having a screen, such as a mobile telephone, includes a base with surfaces for supporting the electronic device in a generally vertical orientation for ease of viewing. The support assembly further includes a post mounted to the base, and a shade above supported by the post above the base to obstruct direct sunlight from reaching the screen of the electronic device. The base is configured to receive various support implements for supporting the base above the ground, such as a stake, a clip, etc.
