Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ornaments lack dynamic display effects and commemorative attributes, limiting their appeal as gifts, especially for special occasions.
Innovation Solution
A creative ornament design featuring a projection opening and light inlet with a convex lens and light guide portion, allowing patterns on a pattern sheet to be projected and enlarged, integrated with a light-blocking layer for focused projection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If ornaments use static structures for decoration, then manufacturing is simple, but display effect is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static ornament structure into a dynamic display system by incorporating a projection mechanism. The lens and light guide portion enable the ornament to project patterns dynamically, adding movement and interaction capability while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The ornament is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both a decorative accessory and a projection device. The pattern sheet can be customized for different occasions, and the projection capability allows it to display various patterns, making it versatile for different use scenarios.
2Shape
If ornaments focus on decorative styling, then aesthetic appeal is improved, but commemorative attributes are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing customization of the pattern sheet with specific commemorative patterns while maintaining the overall decorative structure. The lens and projection system remain standardized, but the pattern content can be locally adapted to commemorate specific events or relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The ornament enables copying of personalized patterns through the projection system. Users can project customized patterns onto surfaces, creating lasting visual records that commemorate special occasions, while the physical ornament maintains its decorative aesthetic.
3Ease of manufacture
If ornaments are designed for decoration only, then production cost is low, but gift value is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By adding the projection capability with a lens and light guide portion, the ornament transforms from a simple decorative item to an interactive gift that can display personalized patterns, significantly enhancing its gift value while maintaining reasonable production costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The ornament serves dual purposes: it provides decorative functionality through its aesthetic design and projection functionality through the integrated optical system. This self-service capability allows it to fulfill both decorative and commemorative needs, justifying its value as a gift.
