Universal Cover Set for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cover solutions for mobile information terminals are not universally compatible with different shapes and sizes, requiring users to either modify or purchase dedicated covers, leading to increased economic burdens and limited compatibility with new terminal models.
Innovation Solution
A cover set comprising a first and second cover, each with tray-shaped terminal fitting parts and recess-shaped device fitting parts, allowing compatibility with various mobile information terminals and peripheral devices, with common positions and materials like elastomer and plastic for secure fitting and connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a dedicated cover is prepared for each mobile information terminal model, then compatibility with specific terminals is improved, but device complexity and economic burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is designed with a universal fitting structure that can accommodate multiple different mobile information terminal models. The terminal fitting part includes a tray-shaped cavity with adjustable positioning structures that adapt to different terminal shapes and sizes, allowing a single cover design to serve multiple terminal models without requiring separate dedicated covers for each model.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a commercially available cover is processed to create a fitting part, then compatibility with peripheral devices is improved, but manufacturing precision and economic burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fitting part for the peripheral device is pre-formed during the cover manufacturing process rather than requiring post-purchase modification. The device fitting part includes a recess-shaped cavity with positioning structures that are integrated into the cover design from the beginning, ensuring precise fit for the peripheral device without requiring users to perform additional processing operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users purchase new covers for new terminal models, then compatibility is improved, but loss of time and economic burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cover design incorporates a universal terminal fitting structure that maintains compatibility across different terminal models through standardized positioning features. The tray-shaped cavity with adjustable elements allows the same cover design to fit multiple terminal generations, eliminating the need for users to search for and purchase new covers when upgrading terminals.

AI summary
A cover set includes a first cover and a second cover. The first cover and the second cover have device fitting parts that have the same shape and size. A peripheral device is fitted in the device fitting parts. The first cover and the second cover have terminal fitting parts that have different shapes and sizes. A first mobile information terminal having a large size is fitted in the terminal fitting part of the first cover. Another mobile information terminal having a small size is fitted in the terminal fitting part of the second cover. This allows a user to select a mobile information terminal that is used together with the peripheral device as appropriate.
