Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Smart anti-lost tags are difficult to find and prone to falling out of bags due to their small size and lack of specialized packaging, leading to inconvenience in daily use.

Innovation Solution

A wallet with an accommodating pocket designed to securely hold the anti-lost tag, featuring a pocket opening and a switch control mechanism to facilitate easy access and prevent the tag from falling out, with options for detachable or permanent attachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the anti-lost tag is placed in a bag with many miscellaneous items, then the bag can accommodate various items, but the anti-lost tag becomes difficult to find

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebag accommodation capabilityVSAvoiddifficulty to find anti-lost tag

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The bag is segmented into different compartments, with a dedicated anti-lost tag compartment that separates the small anti-lost tag from the miscellaneous items. This segmentation allows the bag to accommodate various items while making the anti-lost tag easily findable through its isolated storage space.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the anti-lost tag is placed in a bag without specialized packaging, then the bag structure remains simple, but the anti-lost tag is prone to falling out

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebag structure complexityVSAvoidanti-lost tag retention

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-lost tag compartment is nested within the bag structure, creating a specialized storage space that prevents the anti-lost tag from falling out while maintaining the overall simplicity of the bag. The compartment acts as a protective container within the larger bag structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The anti-lost tag compartment serves as an intermediary structure between the bag and the anti-lost tag. It provides a dedicated interface that secures the anti-lost tag in place while maintaining a simple overall bag design.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If a dedicated accommodating pocket is added to the wallet, then the anti-lost tag is securely held and easy to find, but the wallet structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease to find anti-lost tagVSAvoidwallet structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-lost tag accommodating pocket is merged with the wallet body as an integrated component. This combining approach provides secure storage and easy access for the anti-lost tag while minimizing the increase in overall structural complexity by utilizing existing wallet spaces and materials.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A wallet is provided with an anti-lost card, so as to facilitate the user to track the wallet by the anti-lost card, the anti-lost card can be detachably or permanently placed in a wallet body of the wallet. A positioning module of the anti-lost card can take advantage of existing network of devices, which work as crowdsourced beacons to ping each other in order to determine the location of the missing wallet, so that compatible electronic devices can use an app to identify the approximate location of the missing wallet.
