Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices with two bodies and a display screen have limited adaptability due to the fixed position of the display screen, restricting their functionality and usability.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device comprises a first body with a rotating sub-body and a flexible screen, which includes members on both sub-bodies connected by a connection member, allowing the screen to rotate and adapt to different positions, and a second body that can rotate to meet a coplanar condition with the sub-bodies, forming a symmetrical structure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen is arranged on one of the bodies with a fixed position, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the display screen rotatable through a connection member between two rotatable bodies. The first body and second body can rotate relative to each other, and the display screen can rotate with them, allowing the screen position to dynamically adjust from a fixed state to multiple configurable states, thereby resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by enabling the electronic device to perform multiple functions through rotational adjustment. The device can switch between different display orientations and configurations (e.g., portrait, landscape, folded, unfolded positions), making it adaptable to various usage scenarios and environments, thus improving versatility without significantly complicating the overall structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the display screen position is limited, then the manufacturing is simple, but the usability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveusabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dynamics principle is applied by enabling the display screen to rotate and adjust to different positions through the connection member mechanism. Users can operate the device in multiple orientations (unfolded, folded, rotated positions), significantly improving usability and ease of operation while maintaining a relatively simple rotational connection structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the device into two rotatable bodies connected by a connection structure. This segmentation allows independent rotation of each body, enabling the display screen to achieve multiple positions and orientations, thereby improving usability without requiring a completely complex reconfiguration system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A photosensitive chip includes a photosensitive array and a target transmission channel. The photosensitive array is configured to generate an induced electrical signal. A target image signal is generated from the induced electrical signal through the target transmission channel. The target image signal is used to generate a target image. The target image represents a change in a target space.
