Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable electronic devices, such as smart glasses, face a challenge in accommodating antennas within the lens rim or glass legs, which reduces comfort and affects normal use due to space constraints.

Innovation Solution

A wearable electronic device design featuring a signal transceiver component with a hollow geometric pattern integrated into a transparent display module, allowing for reduced space usage and maintaining a relative positional relationship with the user's head, thereby minimizing the impact on the lens rim or glass legs capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the antenna is placed inside the lens rim or glass legs, then the signal transceiver function is achieved, but the lens rim or glass legs require larger capacity which reduces comfort and affects normal use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transceiver functionVSAvoidcomfort and normal use
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna is extracted from the traditional locations (lens rim or glass legs) and integrated directly into the display component. This extraction resolves the contradiction by removing the space occupation problem from the lens rim and glass legs while maintaining the signal transceiver function in a new location that does not interfere with comfort and normal use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Quantity of substance

If the antenna occupies space in the lens rim or glass legs, then the signal transceiver component is housed, but the capacity of the lens rim or glass legs is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapacity of lens rim or glass legsVSAvoidintegration of antenna
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna is merged with the display component, forming an integrated structure where the signal transceiver component becomes part of the display assembly. This merging increases the capacity of the lens rim and glass legs by eliminating the separate antenna space requirement, while the integration is achieved through a straightforward integration process that does not significantly increase device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
