Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile phone cases with card-receptible functions are inconvenient as they require separation of the slide cover when using the card, disrupting mobile phone functionality.

Innovation Solution

A semiautomatic slide case design featuring a sliding hook mechanism that allows the slide cover to be semi-automatically opened and closed, integrating the main body and frame case without separation, using elastic springs for smooth operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a card pocket and mobile phone case are coupled together, then card-receptible function is achieved, but the slide cover must be separated when using the card

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecard-receptible functionVSAvoidconvenience of using card and mobile phone
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The case is divided into three main components: main body, frame case, and slide cover. The slide cover can be independently opened to access the card receiving part while keeping the main body and frame case connected, allowing separate access to card and mobile phone functions without full separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The card receiving part is nested within the frame case, which itself is coupled to the main body. This nested structure allows the slide cover to open independently to reveal the card compartment while the protective main body remains attached to the mobile phone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of operation

If slide cover is detachably coupled to access card, then card accessibility is improved, but mobile phone protection continuity is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecard accessibilityVSAvoidmobile phone protection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The case structure segments the access function into a separate slide cover that can open independently, while the main body remains permanently attached to the mobile phone for continuous protection. The frame case connects these elements, allowing card access without compromising the protective enclosure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The slide cover is designed with dynamic movement capability - it can slide open for card access and close for protection. This dynamic element is coupled through the frame case to the static main body, creating a system that adapts between open and closed states while maintaining protective function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
