Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anti-shake solutions for handheld electronic devices often have complex structures and generate small forces, which are inefficient in stabilizing images during hand movement.

Innovation Solution

An electromagnetic driving module is used to move the photosensitive chip module within a plane parallel to the lens body, allowing for anti-shake functionality with a simpler and more compact structure that generates greater force.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If lens anti-shake is used, then image stabilization is achieved, but structure becomes complex and force is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage stabilizationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of moving the lens to achieve anti-shake, this patent moves the photosensitive chip in the opposite direction to compensate for hand shaking. This inversion of the traditional approach simplifies the structure while maintaining effective image stabilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical lens driving system with an electromagnetic driving module that directly drives the photosensitive chip. This substitution reduces mechanical complexity while generating sufficient force for stabilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
