Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile phone display stands are inconvenient for customers to try out mobile phones due to wire restraints, which hinder a good user experience and effective anti-theft functionality.

Innovation Solution

A wireless anti-theft mobile phone display stand featuring a slotted structure with a sensor and mainframe, including wireless-distance-measurement modules, warners, batteries, and charging interfaces, allowing for convenient phone installation and use while maintaining high anti-theft performance through Bluetooth and IR modules, and vibration motors for alarm functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If mobile phone display stands are connected to mobile phones through wires for anti-theft and charging, then anti-theft performance and charging functionality are improved, but customer convenience and user experience deteriorate due to wire restraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-theft performanceVSAvoidcustomer convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the wire constraint from the system by using wireless communication modules (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) for anti-theft monitoring and wireless charging technology for power supply. This removes the physical wire restraint that hindered customer convenience while maintaining anti-theft functionality through electronic distance monitoring and charging through electromagnetic field coupling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If wireless-distance-measurement modules and sensors are used to enable convenient phone removal, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional modules and slotted structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephone removal convenienceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display stand into modular components: a mainframe containing control electronics, separate sensors positioned at insertion openings, and independent wireless communication modules. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function (distance measurement, alarm triggering, wireless communication) while simplifying the overall system architecture and facilitating easier maintenance and replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If multiple sensors and warning modules are installed for high anti-theft performance, then security is improved, but loss of energy increases due to continuous monitoring and alarm functions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-theft securityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic distance measurement cycles rather than continuous monitoring, where the wireless-distance-measurement modules transmit signals at predetermined intervals. The warning modules (buzzers, vibration motors) are activated only when distance thresholds are exceeded, converting continuous energy consumption into periodic actions that maintain security while reducing overall energy loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
