HiPhi users are the ones who have the most personalized and emotional needs, and they are full of the desire to explore and have diverse interests.

Identify and summarize scenarios

Our team is filled with different voices, we come up ideas such as: hooks for all sizes luggage bags? Foldable storage bins for the rear passengers? A fixable fishing box in the trunk? And so on. We then summarized user's scenario into 5 most common Modes to further develop our idea.

Design Solution

Through competitive analysis and market research, we got inspired by vlogger's magnet attachment devices. It seems to have lots of opportunity with its easy to attach and replaceable feature. Then we cooperated with fidlock's technology to further develop our product design.

PROTOTYPE TESTING

Vehicle-grade compoents require harder safety requirements comparing to consumer-grade products. Therefore, how to work with the engineering team to bring the port to mass production is subject to a large number of prototyping.
