Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing game call systems require users to be collocated with the device, limiting their ability to position themselves remotely and adjust sound direction effectively, as they often need to manually direct sound emission and change settings.

Innovation Solution

A rotatable game call speaker system with independently controlled speaker units that can be adjusted remotely via wireless control, allowing for 360-degree sound direction coverage and simultaneous or alternating sound emission from multiple units.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user manually manipulates the electronic game call to direct sound in a particular direction, then the sound direction can be controlled, but the user must be collocated with the device which limits positioning flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesound direction controlVSAvoiduser positioning flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The speaker unit is made rotatable about a vertical axis, transforming the static sound emission direction into a dynamic one that can be changed remotely. This allows the sound to be directed in different directions without requiring the user to physically manipulate the device, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and positioning flexibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A wireless remote control system serves as an intermediary between the user and the sound direction control. The user can control the speaker orientation remotely without being collocated with the device, enabling both ease of operation and positioning flexibility simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the speaker unit is made rotatable to direct sound in different directions, then adaptability to environmental changes is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional motors and control mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesound direction adaptabilityVSAvoidmotor and control system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rotatable speaker unit is segmented from the main device body, allowing independent rotation of the speaker component. This segmentation enables sound direction adaptability while containing the complexity within a modular sub-system that can be independently controlled.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotatable speaker unit serves multiple functions: it emits sound and simultaneously directs it in variable directions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate sound emission and direction control mechanisms, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving environmental adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Methods and devices are disclosed for attracting animals. A game call speaker system having a body portion, first speaker unit configured to rotate about a first axis, a second speaker unit configured to rotate about a second axis and a memory comprising one or more stored game calls is provided. Rotation of the first speaker unit may be independent of rotation of the second speaker unit. The first axis may be substantially parallel to the second axis. In some embodiments, the game call speaker system is configured to emit the stored game calls over a relatively wide angle (e.g., 360 degrees) relative to the body portion.
