Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable studio apparatuses suffer from poor light reflection and limited interior space, leading to degraded photography quality and restricted subject size due to inefficient illumination and compact design.
Innovation Solution
A portable studio apparatus with a unique folding structure, where the fourth body part is inclined relative to the first, allowing light to be reflected inward and creating a larger interior space for photography, while folding into a compact plate for portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If the studio unit is designed to be portable and compact, then it can be easily carried and stored, but the interior accommodation space becomes limited and light reflection is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The studio unit is divided into multiple body parts (first, second, third, fourth body parts) that can be folded and connected at angles. This segmentation allows the structure to expand into a larger accommodation space when assembled, while maintaining a compact form when folded for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The body parts are connected at angles greater than right angles, creating a three-dimensional expanded structure from a compact two-dimensional folded state. This dimensional transformation maximizes the interior space while keeping the folded size small for easy carrying.
2Device complexity
If the body parts are connected at right angles, then the structure is simple and compact, but light escapes outward and reflection is insufficient degrading photographing quality
Solution Approach 1:
The connection angle between body parts is changed from right angles to angles greater than right angles. This parameter change redirects the orientation of surfaces to reflect light inward toward the accommodation space rather than allowing it to escape outward, thereby improving illumination intensity and photographing quality.
3Volume of stationary object
If the interior space is maximized for larger subjects, then the folded size becomes larger reducing portability, but if folded size is minimized then the interior space is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The studio unit employs a dynamic folding structure where body parts can be connected at variable angles greater than right angles. This allows the structure to transition between a compact folded state for portability and an expanded state with maximized interior space for photographing larger subjects.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances light reflection and illumination efficiency, improving photography quality and allowing larger subjects to be photographed within a maximized interior space, while maintaining portability.
Implementation Method 1
light emitted from an inside of the studio unit is irradiated to an outside with a very high probability and may not be reflected at the inside... the fourth body part is inclined relatively to the first body part at an angle which allows the fourth body part to be directed toward a bottom such that the fourth body part partially covers an open front region

AI summary
Provided is a portable studio apparatus capable of obtaining high photographing quality by minimizing light of an inner illumination device that is irradiated to an outside, and capable of photographing a large-sized subject by minimizing a size of the portable studio apparatus when the portable studio apparatus is carried while increasing a size of an accommodation space when the portable studio apparatus is assembled. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a portable studio apparatus includes: a first body part forming a bottom surface; a second body part coupled to one end of the first body part and foldably or unfoldably connected to the first body part; a third body part foldably or unfoldably connected to the second body part at an opposite side of a portion of the second body part at which the second body part is connected to the first body part; a fourth body part foldably or unfoldably connected to the third body part at an opposite side of a portion of the third body part at which the third body part is connected to the second body part; and a pair of sub-body parts formed at both ends of the first body part and the fourth body part in a direction orthogonal to an axis extending in a connection direction of the first body part to the fourth body part, and foldably or unfoldably connected to the first body part and the fourth body part, wherein, in a photographing mode, the first body part to the fourth body part are folded at an angle larger than a right angle with respect to each other, the fourth body part is inclined relatively to the first body part at an angle which allows the fourth body part to be directed toward a bottom such that the fourth body part partially covers an open front region of a region defined by the first body part to the fourth body part, and the sub-body parts formed on an identical side are fixedly connected to each other, such that the sub-body parts form an accommodation space by defining a side surface except for the region defined by the first body part to the fourth body part among open regions formed by the first body part to the fourth body part while the sub-body parts fix the first body part to the fourth body part which are folded at the angle larger than the right angle with respect to each other, in which a subject positioned within the accommodation space defined by the first body part to the fourth body part and the sub-body part is photographed through an open front side, and, in a portable mode after the photographing mode is terminated, the first body part to the fourth body part are folded to overlap with each other, and the sub-body parts are folded to overlap with a region at which the first body part to the fourth body part overlap with each other, which allows the portable studio apparatus to be carried and stored in a form of a plate.
