Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The integration of sensors on the frame or temple of smart glasses results in a complex structure and manufacturing process, necessitating additional space and circuitry, which complicates the design and production.
Innovation Solution
A connecting assembly with a connecting wire and smart hinges is used to electrically connect the temples of smart glasses, incorporating a sensor unit that is detachably connected to the wire, allowing for simplified integration of sensors without requiring additional space on the frame or temple.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sensors are integrated on the frame or temple of smart glasses, then environmental perception and data collection are achieved, but the structure and manufacturing process become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the sensor unit from the frame or temple structure and relocates it to the connecting wire assembly. The sensor unit is housed in a separate mechanical housing that attaches to the connecting wire, thereby removing the complexity of integrating sensors directly into the frame or temple while maintaining environmental perception functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the smart glasses into distinct functional modules: the frame, the temples, the connecting wire assembly, and the sensor unit. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured and assembled independently, reducing overall system complexity and facilitating easier manufacturing and maintenance.
2Quantity of substance
If sensors are integrated on the frame or temple, then data collection is enabled, but additional space and circuits are required in the frame/temple
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor unit is extracted from the frame structure and relocated to the connecting wire assembly. This extraction eliminates the need for additional space and circuit integration within the frame or temple, as the sensor unit occupies space in the connecting wire assembly instead.
3Reliability
If sensors are integrated on the frame or temple, then environmental perception is achieved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the sensor unit into a separate mechanical housing that attaches to the connecting wire, the patent enables independent manufacturing of the sensor unit and the frame assembly. This segmentation simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing parallel production and easier quality control.
Solution Approach 2:
The extraction of the sensor unit from the frame structure simplifies manufacturing by eliminating the need for complex integration processes within the frame or temple, reducing assembly steps and potential manufacturing defects.
