Wearable Data-Specs with Integrated Projection Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display units for computers and video systems are separate and non-portable, lacking an integrated solution that is not a distinct piece of equipment, which limits their convenience and accessibility.
Innovation Solution
A pair of data-specs, integrating a projection unit with spectacles, allowing users to wear a display unit that can receive and project data or video from computers or televisions, using various communication methods and incorporating features like motion sensors and power control circuitry for enhanced functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If display units are made smaller and more portable, then ease of operation and portability are improved, but device complexity increases due to integration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display unit with spectacles to create an integrated wearable device. The projection unit is coupled directly to the spectacles frame, combining the functions of a display device and eyewear into a single unit that can be worn on the face, eliminating the need for separate display equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The spectacles are designed to serve multiple functions: they act as both corrective eyewear and a portable display device. The projection unit can display data from various sources (computer, television, or wireless networks), making the device universally applicable for different viewing needs and information sources.
2Ease of operation
If display units are integrated into wearable form factors, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The projection unit is designed as a separate module that can be coupled to the spectacles frame. This segmentation allows for independent manufacturing and testing of the projection unit and spectacles components before final assembly, reducing the overall manufacturing precision requirements while maintaining proper alignment through modular interfaces.
