Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the mainboard is positioned very close to the user's head to obtain wearing stability in ordinary glass type smart glasses, then wearing stability is improved, but heat emission to the user increases adversely influencing user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewearing stabilityVSAvoidheat emission
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from the conventional ordinary glass type structure to a head hoop type structure that wraps around the head in a 360-degree configuration. This dimensional change from linear placement to circumferential distribution allows the mainboard and heat-generating components to be positioned away from direct contact with the user's head, thereby maintaining wearing stability while reducing heat emission to the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the structural parameters of the smart glasses by adopting a head hoop type design with adjustable arms that can be customized to fit different head sizes and shapes. This parameter change enables the device to achieve stable wearing without requiring the mainboard to be positioned close to the user's head, thus resolving the heat emission issue while maintaining stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If the structure of ordinary glass type smart glasses is designed for wearing stability, then stability is improved, but comfortability deteriorates because the user's nose bridge may be pressed by the heavy glasses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewearing stabilityVSAvoidcomfortability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adopts a head hoop type structure that distributes the weight of the smart glasses around the entire head circumference rather than concentrating it on the nose bridge and temples. This dimensional redistribution of structural support eliminates the pressing sensation on the nose bridge while maintaining overall wearing stability through the 360-degree wrapping design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The head hoop type structure creates a balanced weight distribution around the head, with the hoop structure itself providing structural support that counteracts the weight of the mainboard and other components. This counterbalancing effect prevents the heavy glasses from pressing down on the nose bridge, thereby improving comfortability while maintaining stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the 360°-surrounding structure of head hoop type smart glasses is used to wrap the user's head for stable wearing, then wearing stability is improved, but the weight imposed upon the user's head increases causing dizziness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewearing stabilityVSAvoidweight on head
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates adjustable arms into the head hoop type structure, allowing the device to adapt dynamically to different user head sizes and shapes. This dynamic adjustability enables the smart glasses to achieve optimal fitting and wearing stability with minimized weight imposition, preventing dizziness by allowing each user to customize the fit to their specific anatomy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The head hoop type structure is divided into multiple segments including the hoop itself and adjustable arms that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the weight to be distributed across multiple contact points around the head rather than concentrated in one location, thereby maintaining stability while reducing the overall weight burden on the user's head.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Stability of the object's composition

If the helmet type structure is used for smart glasses to achieve stable wearing, then wearing stability is improved, but the range of application narrows making it suitable only for industrial scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewearing stabilityVSAvoidrange of application
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the head hoop type structure with adjustable arms that can accommodate various head sizes and shapes, making the smart glasses universally applicable across different user demographics. This universal design enables the device to be used not only in industrial scenarios but also in consumer, medical, and other diverse applications, thereby expanding the range of application while maintaining wearing stability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable arms of the head hoop type structure allow the smart glasses to adapt dynamically to different wearing scenarios and user preferences. This dynamic adaptability enables the device to transition between different application contexts (industrial, consumer, medical, etc.) while maintaining optimal fitting and stability, thus expanding the range of application beyond fixed helmet-type designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
