Polygonal Finger Grip with Rotating Structure for Portable Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable electronic devices require manual grasping for operation, limiting user convenience and flexibility in changing orientations.
Innovation Solution
A polygonally-shaped finger grip with a rotating structure that attaches to a user's finger, allowing the device to be manipulated without grasping and enabling orientation changes between landscape and portrait modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual grasping is required for operation, then the device can be held securely, but user convenience and flexibility in changing orientations are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two functional parts: a grip component that attaches to the user's finger and the personal data device itself. This segmentation allows the grip to provide ergonomic support and rotation capability while the device maintains its core functionality, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The grip incorporates a rotating structure that enables dynamic orientation changes between landscape and portrait modes. This dynamic feature enhances ease of operation by allowing flexible positioning without requiring manual grasping and repositioning, while the rotation mechanism is simple enough not to significantly increase device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the device is attached to the finger using a rotating structure, then orientation changes between landscape and portrait are enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating grip structure serves multiple functions: it provides secure finger attachment, enables orientation changes between landscape and portrait modes, and offers ergonomic support. This multi-functionality increases adaptability while keeping the overall system relatively simple, as one component performs multiple tasks rather than requiring separate mechanisms for each function.
