Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If disposable plastic bags are used, then convenience and ease of carrying are improved, but environmental pollution and carbon emissions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a portable bag with a mobile phone strap, merging two separate functions (phone carrying and bag carrying) into a single integrated accessory. This allows users to have portable bag functionality without needing to separately carry a bag, thus maintaining convenience while reducing disposable plastic use.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile phone strap is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a phone holder, a portable bag for carrying items, and an eco-friendly alternative to disposable plastic bags. This multi-functionality increases the utility value for users, making the portable bag more attractive compared to single-use alternatives.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If portable bags are carried to replace disposable plastic bags, then environmental protection is improved, but carrying convenience and practicality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the portable bag into the mobile phone strap, the invention eliminates the need to separately carry a bag. The bag becomes part of the phone accessory that users already carry with them, thus maintaining convenience while achieving environmental protection goals.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable bag is nested within or integrated with the mobile phone strap structure. This nesting allows the bag to be carried along with the phone without adding separate carrying burden, making the portable bag as convenient as carrying a smartphone.
3Loss of substance
If people are forced to carry eco-bags or shopping baskets, then disposable plastic use is reduced, but social acceptance and practicality decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile phone strap with integrated bag serves multiple purposes (phone holder, bag, accessory), making it versatile and adaptable to different user needs. This increases social acceptance compared to dedicated eco-bags that have limited functionality and are perceived as burdensome.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows users to benefit automatically from having a portable bag without needing to make conscious efforts to carry or remember to bring one. The bag comes along with the phone, providing self-service functionality that reduces disposable plastic use without requiring additional user action or social change effort.

AI summary
A mobile phone strap for reducing disposable vinyl includes a strap and a portable bag. The strap includes a mobile phone fastening part, a strap opening/closing part, a strap interior, and upper and lower straps. The mobile phone fastening part is fastened to a back surface of a mobile phone to fix the strap. The strap opening/closing part includes at one side an opening/closing lower part through which the upper strap and the lower strap is opened and closed. The upper strap and the lower strap of the strap are coupled to form a space in the strap interior. The portable bag is disposed inside the strap interior. The portable bag can be taken out to be used for storing items, so that the consumption of disposable plastic bags can be reduced by replacing the disposable plastic bags with the portable bag.
