Solution Overview

Problem

Charging smart glasses and associated peripheral devices on the go is challenging, as existing charging cases are not designed to accommodate multiple devices, necessitating multiple chargers and cables.

Innovation Solution

A portable smart glasses charging case that can fold and unfold, allowing it to charge a pair of smart glasses in a folded state and additional devices in an unfolded state, including a first and second electronic device, with integrated battery capacity to provide full charges to all devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional charging case is used for smart glasses, then the smart glasses can be charged, but additional peripheral devices cannot be charged simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecharging capabilityVSAvoidnumber of chargers

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The charging case is designed with multiple charging sections (first charging section for smart glasses, second charging section for peripheral devices) within a single unit, allowing it to charge multiple types of devices simultaneously. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate chargers for different devices, directly resolving the contradiction between charging versatility and device complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the charging functionality for smart glasses and peripheral devices into a single integrated charging case. By merging multiple charging capabilities into one device, the solution reduces the total number of chargers needed while maintaining the ability to charge multiple device types, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple chargers are carried to charge different devices, then all devices can be charged, but portability and convenience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice charging coverageVSAvoidtotal charger weight

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple charging functions into a single charging case, eliminating the need to carry multiple separate chargers. This consolidation reduces the total weight of charging equipment while maintaining the capability to charge multiple device types, directly addressing the contradiction between charging coverage and portability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The charging case is designed as a universal charging solution that can charge smart glasses and various peripheral devices simultaneously. This multi-functional design allows users to replace multiple device-specific chargers with a single versatile unit, reducing overall weight while maintaining comprehensive charging capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the charging case is designed to charge multiple devices, then charging versatility improves, but the size and volume of the case increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenumber of chargeable devicesVSAvoidcharging case volume

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The charging case is divided into distinct charging sections (first charging section for smart glasses, second charging section for peripheral devices), each optimized for its specific device type. This segmentation allows efficient space utilization within the case, enabling multi-device charging capability while controlling overall volume by organizing components in dedicated zones rather than requiring a uniformly large structure

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design nests the second charging section for peripheral devices within or adjacent to the first charging section for smart glasses, creating a compact multi-functional structure. This nested arrangement allows the case to accommodate multiple device types in a space-efficient manner, increasing charging versatility without proportionally increasing overall case volume

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A portable smart glasses charging case comprises a glasses-holding section configured to hold a pair of smart glasses and deliver a charge. The portable smart glasses charging case also comprises a foldable section having: a folded state in which the foldable section is configured to cover the glasses-holding section while the pair of smart glasses continues to receive the charge; and an unfolded state in which the foldable section lays substantially flat to reveal a first section for delivering a charge to a first electronic device that is distinct from the pair of smart glasses and a second section for delivering a charge to a second electronic device that is distinct from the pair of smart glasses and the first electronic device, and the pair of smart glasses continues to receive the charge while the first and second sections are delivering respective charges to the first and second electronic devices.
