Watercraft Integrated Protective Case for Mobile Terminal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals on watercrafts are prone to getting wet and inaccessible for use when stored in traditional storage containers, leading to potential water exposure and inconvenience in receiving calls or using applications.
Innovation Solution
A watercraft design featuring a water protective case with a communication device and display device that allows the mobile terminal to be safely stored while still enabling its use and charging through wireless energy, with the display device showing content from the mobile terminal and allowing operation via touch inputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the mobile terminal is stored in a storage container, then the mobile terminal is protected from water exposure, but the mobile terminal becomes inaccessible for use
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal is placed inside the water protective case, which is integrated into the watercraft body. The case acts as a nested structure that protects the terminal while allowing it to remain accessible through the integrated design with touch-through windows and integrated controls.
2Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal is placed on the deck of the helm seat, then the mobile terminal is easily accessible, but the mobile terminal is exposed to water
Solution Approach 1:
The water protective case serves as an intermediary structure between the mobile terminal and the water environment. It allows the terminal to be protected from water while maintaining accessibility through touch-through windows and integrated control mechanisms that enable operation without direct contact.
3Reliability
If the mobile terminal is stored in a storage container, then the mobile terminal is protected from water, but the crewperson cannot receive calls or use applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces direct mechanical interaction with the mobile terminal (touching the screen, pressing buttons) with wireless interaction through the water protective case. Touch-through windows allow tactile input to be transmitted through the protective barrier, and wireless communication systems enable calls and applications to be accessed without physical access to the terminal.
4Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal is kept outside the watercraft, then the mobile terminal can be used freely, but the mobile terminal is at risk of water exposure
Solution Approach 1:
The water protective case merges the protection function with the operational function by integrating touch-through windows, wireless communication systems, and control mechanisms that allow the mobile terminal to be both protected from water and fully operational while stored within the watercraft structure.
