Solution Overview

Problem

Existing smart glasses, particularly split-type designs, face challenges with battery life and weight distribution due to the presence of a thick and heavy power data transmission line, which affects user comfort and aesthetics.

Innovation Solution

A split-type smart glasses design featuring an automatic magnetic connection device that automatically connects the power supply and data transmission lines between the smart glasses body and the wearable division, eliminating the need for a thick transmission line and improving wearability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a thick power data transmission line is used to connect smart glasses with the wearable division, then power supply and data transmission are achieved, but the weight on the ear and nose bridge increases and user comfort deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply and data transmissionVSAvoidweight on ear and nose bridge
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission line is divided into two separate components: a thin upper transmission line integrated into the eyeglass strap for power supply, and a lower transmission line hidden in the user's clothing for data transmission. This segmentation allows each line to be optimized for its specific function, reducing the weight burden on the ear and nose bridge while maintaining reliable power and data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If a thick power data transmission line is used to connect smart glasses with the wearable division, then power supply and data transmission are achieved, but the transmission line dragging and pulling restraints interfere with user activities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply and data transmissionVSAvoiduser activities freedom
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the transmission line into two independent thin lines (upper and lower), each can be routed along different paths that minimize interference with user activities. The upper line follows the eyeglass strap while the lower line is hidden in clothing, allowing head movements without dragging or pulling restraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission lines are distributed in different spatial dimensions and paths - the upper line in the eyeglass strap structure and the lower line in the clothing layer - rather than using a single thick line. This dimensional distribution eliminates the dragging and pulling effects that would occur with a concentrated thick transmission line.

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

3Reliability

If a thick power data transmission line is used to connect smart glasses with the wearable division, then power supply and data transmission are achieved, but the long and thick transmission line hanging around the ear affects user image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply and data transmissionVSAvoidappearance and aesthetics
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission connection is segmented into two thin separate lines rather than one thick visible line. The upper transmission line is integrated into the eyeglass strap which is already part of the glasses structure, and the lower transmission line is concealed within the user's clothing, eliminating the aesthetic problem of a thick hanging transmission line while maintaining reliable electrical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
