Solution Overview
Problem
Riders face challenges such as delayed journeys due to stopping to take pictures, potential hazards from wired communication devices, lack of familiarity with routes, and absence of rearview functionality in existing helmets, leading to safety risks and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent safety helmet with a rearview camera, optoelectronic device, GPS, BLUETOOTH module, and network communication, allowing for hands-free picture taking, real-time rearview monitoring, navigation, and wireless communication, integrated into a removable and easily assembled main bracket with a rocker arm module for enhanced usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rearview camera and optoelectronic device are integrated into the helmet, then rearview monitoring capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The helmet is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides rearview monitoring through the camera and optoelectronic device, while also serving as a communication device through the Bluetooth module, and as a navigation device through the GPS module. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise be separate devices into one integrated system, improving reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical module is embedded within the helmet body structure, and the camera is positioned to utilize the helmet's existing form factor. The Bluetooth and GPS modules are integrated into the same housing, creating a nested arrangement where multiple functional components are contained within the single helmet structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If communication devices are fixed on the handlebar with wired earphones, then communication functionality is improved, but safety hazards increase due to long earphone lines and restricted motion scope
Solution Approach 1:
The wired mechanical connection (earphone line) is replaced with a wireless Bluetooth communication system. The Bluetooth module integrated into the helmet establishes a wireless connection with the user's device, eliminating the physical earphone line that caused safety hazards while maintaining full communication functionality.
3Ease of operation
If the main bracket is made removable and easily assembled, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The helmet system is divided into separable modules: the main bracket that holds the optical and communication modules can be removed from the helmet body. This segmentation allows users to easily assemble and disassemble components for maintenance or replacement while establishing standardized connection interfaces that manage the precision requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the main bracket and helmet body is designed to be dynamic rather than permanent, allowing for easy attachment and detachment. This dynamic connection system incorporates features that accommodate normal manufacturing tolerances while ensuring reliable electrical and mechanical connections during use.

AI summary
An intelligent safety helmet with front play of rearview is provided. The helmet includes a helmet body and several ventilation holes designed on it. The helmet body is set in the back with a rearview camera electrically connected with the intelligent hardware set in its front. The intelligent hardware includes a removable main bracket installed on one side of the helmet body, and the main bracket is installed with an optoelectronic device and a front-facing camera in the front via a rocker arm module, so that the user can use the front-facing camera to take pictures and store them in the memory or activate the rearview camera and project the image onto the optoelectronic device for view of rear conditions by the user. The user can use a transmissive optical module set in front of the eyes to play the pictures taken by the back-facing camera.
