Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional control handles designed for mobile phones are incompatible with game consoles, causing inconvenience for users.
Innovation Solution
A control handle with two gripping parts that can move relative to each other, equipped with a detecting module to sense engagement, a connector for connecting to electronic devices, a processing module for power management, and a communication module for connecting to hosts, allowing seamless interaction with both mobile devices and game consoles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the control handle is designed to connect only to mobile phones, then it can maintain a simple structure and dedicated functionality, but it cannot be used with game consoles or other electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
The control handle is designed with a universal connector that can physically connect to multiple types of electronic devices including mobile phones and game consoles. The processing module automatically detects the connected device type and switches between different operational modes (mobile phone mode and game console mode), allowing the same hardware to serve multiple functions without requiring separate controllers for different devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing module acts as an intermediary that mediates between the physical connector and the different device types. It detects the connection state through the detecting module, identifies whether a mobile phone or game console is connected, and automatically configures the control handle's operational parameters accordingly, enabling seamless adaptation to different devices without user intervention.
2Ease of operation
If the control handle uses automatic device detection and mode switching, then it can improve ease of operation, but it increases the complexity of the processing module
Solution Approach 1:
The control handle employs a self-service mechanism where the detecting module automatically detects the connected device type and generates appropriate detection signals. The processing module receives these signals and autonomously switches between operational modes without requiring user input or manual configuration, making the device self-adaptive to its connection environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where the detecting module continuously monitors the connection state and provides real-time information to the processing module. Based on this feedback, the processing module dynamically adjusts its operational mode, creating a closed-loop control system that automatically adapts to changing connection conditions.

AI summary
A control handle includes two gripping parts, a connecting structure, a detecting module, and a processing module. The two gripping parts are engaged with each other through the connecting structure, thereby being operable to move closer to or away from each other. When the detecting module determines that the two gripping parts are engaged with each other, an engaging signal is generated. The processing module enters a sleep mode when receiving engaging signal. When in the sleep mode and a specific button is pressed, the processing module is operated to control a communication module to search for a connecting host nearby. When the processing module uses the detecting module to determine that the two gripping parts are separated from each other, and the portable electronic device and the connector are connected, the processing module can be connected to the portable electronic device through the communication module.
