Problem
Conventional computer peripherals, such as mice, face issues with cable management due to excessive cable length and tension, and wireless solutions often require frequent battery replacement and insufficient transmission capacity for professionals.
Innovation Solution
A mouse device with a separable transmission cable featuring a buckling mechanism that allows for adjustable cable length, ensuring precise operation and overcoming cable-related issues, and a similar buckle structure for earphones to manage audio cables.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a transmission cable is used to connect the mouse to the computer, then the connection is stable and transmission capacity is sufficient, but the cable management becomes problematic due to excessive length and tension
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission cable is divided into multiple separable segments with different lengths. Users can choose and connect only the necessary cable length, eliminating excessive cable length and improving desk space management while maintaining stable connection through the separable connector design
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cable length is extended to reach improper installation locations, then the mouse can be used at various positions, but cable tension and loose connections become inevitable
Solution Approach 1:
The cable length becomes dynamic and adjustable rather than fixed. Users can reconfigure the cable length by connecting or disconnecting cable segments according to the mouse position requirements, ensuring adequate cable length for any installation location while avoiding excessive tension through optimal length selection
3Ease of operation
If wireless communication is used to reduce transmission cables, then the desk top space is cleared, but the peripheral needs frequent battery replacement or recharge
Solution Approach 1:
The power source is extracted from the peripheral device and relocated to the main computer system through the cable connection. This eliminates the need for batteries in the mouse, clearing desk space like wireless solutions while avoiding battery maintenance issues, as power is continuously supplied through the cable
4Ease of operation
If wireless communication is used to eliminate cables, then cable management is simplified, but transmission capacity is insufficient for professional computer drawing
Solution Approach 1:
Different communication modes are applied to different functional requirements. The cable connection provides high-bandwidth transmission for professional computer drawing tasks, while the separable design allows the cable to be disconnected when not needed, achieving both high transmission capacity and simplified cable management
