Discrete Wearable Computer Module Segmentation for Weight Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional split-type wearable computers suffer from uneven weight distribution due to integrated battery and processing units, leading to discomfort and impracticality for daily use.
Innovation Solution
A discrete wearable computer design separates the computer into modules: a main board module, a near-eye display module, an air mouse module, and a battery module, with each module independently installed on a clothing accessory like a scarf, allowing for balanced weight distribution and enhanced portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the processing unit and battery are integrated with the output unit, then the computer can function as a complete system, but the weight distribution becomes uneven and the product size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the wearable computer into four separate modules: processing module, input module, output module, and battery module. Each module is independently configured and can be separately worn, which resolves the weight distribution problem by preventing concentration of all components in one location while maintaining complete system functionality through wireless communication between modules.
2Reliability
If the processing unit and battery are integrated with the output unit, then the computer can function as a complete system, but the product size becomes too large to wear comfortably on the head
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the computer system into four separate wearable modules that can be independently positioned on the user's body. The processing module, input module, output module, and battery module are distributed across different locations, which reduces the volume concentration at any single point and enables comfortable wear while maintaining complete system functionality through wireless communication.
3Weight of moving object
If modules are separated off with each other, then the weight distribution can be improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs universal wireless communication interfaces in each module, allowing any module to communicate with any other module regardless of their physical separation. This multi-functional communication capability simplifies the overall system architecture by eliminating the need for complex physical connection mechanisms while maintaining weight distribution benefits through modular separation.
