Imagine being alone at the perfect location with beautiful scenery but there’s no one to help take a picture of you, or you’re too uncomfortable to ask a stranger for their help. Another scenario is, you’re with a giant group but someone must sit out of the photograph in order to take the photo for everyone else. Being a creative problem solver, Edward Mejía has invented a more favorable solution. 

 
He has teamed up with All in One Inventions for the development of this product. Together they have used their collaborative experience to transform this idea into a marketable platform.

Mr. Mejía passionately feels a sense of pride about his concept and believes that it deserves immediate attention. Because of the widespread market that exists for such a concept, he wholeheartedly believes in the positive impact its development and production will have on individuals and the market(s) to which it will be promoted.

The name of the concept Mr. Mejía has chosen is Speed Selfie, although he is open to the possibility of a name change and reserves final approval regarding the official name. Branding is important, of course, but the concept is the proper foundation for the invention and any future applications of the invention.

The concept Mr. Mejía has envisioned is a selfie device that allows a person to use their cellphone to take a picture or video of him or herself at a remote and or picturesque location. A more detailed description of the functionality of this invention will be elaborated upon in the following segment.

Mr. Mejía has been working hard at designing and documenting this concept. He has several “mock-up” drawings of this invention that provide a sense of how the idea will appear once brought into production. The drawings are beneficial for making any necessary modifications and revisions for improvements to promote a more satisfactory and overall accommodating product.
 
As currently designed in the technical drawings and 3-D models, Speed Selfie has unique features not presently available in the marketplace. Although it is still in the developmental stages, an explanation of its functionality is as follows:

The Speed Selfie allows any cellular device to be placed in a safe and secure area to take the best photo. It is beneficial to anyone looking to be inside of the perfect photograph- solo or otherwise.

The selfi-device is comprised of a solar photovoltaic system, a motor that attaches to a retractable arm, an articulated joint attached to the retractable arm, an adjustable clamp attached to the articulated joint, a light source attached to an outer portion of the housing, a processor that is composed of a transceiver, a memory and a program which allows a user to connect to a wireless network or satellite, the solar photovoltaic system is operative connected to the motor, the light source, and the processor. In. Preferred embodiment of the present invention, the selfi-device will have at least one input source that will allow a user to activate the selfi-device.

The unique features of the Speed Selfie will provide the following benefits for consumers worldwide:
 

·      Easy access

·      Fast

·      Easy to use

·      Convenient

·      Beautiful pictures 

·      Eliminates the need to ask strangers for help, or someone in the group being left out of the photograph

·      Allows photos to be saved directly to the phone 

·      Saves time and frustration 

·      Makes selfies and group photos more fun! 

Currently, selfie sticks and camera tri-pods are available for purchase. However, they require the user to carry them around which can be difficult and even bothersome at times. The Speed Selfie does not. It’s convenient and easy to use-- it stands alone on the market.

The cost of materials and actual materials used will depend on the quantity manufactured and the buyer / licensee.
 
An introductory retail price and sustaining price will be determined by the quantity manufactured, the actual cost of manufacturing, advertising methods, and packing materials employed by the buyer / licensee. The inventor understands that company feedback, especially from knowledgeable sources, is a great way to improve for future market potential.

Mr. Mejía envisions the Speed Selfie appealing to anyone and everyone interested in:

·      Technology

·      Electronics

·      Photography

·      Marketing

·      Advertising

·      Places with lots of visitors (Such as, hotels and attractions)

Today’s society is always seeking new and easier ways to use advanced technology to make necessary tasks easier to accomplish. This is precisely why this product is being developed.
 
The markets are extensive for an innovative product like the Speed Selfie. Consumers and contractors worldwide will appreciate the benefits and convenience of this product. It will be available wherever phone accessories are available: big box retailers such as Walmart, Target and Costco, and other local retailers. It will also be available at cellphone stores including but not limited to: ATT, SPRINT, VERIZON, TMOBILE.

The internet provides an additional large platform for the advertising and marketing of this innovative product with myriad retail sites as well as sites to provide informative videos and blogs.

Mr. Mejía envisions the Speed Selfie offering a compatible app in the future. Customers would pay a subscription fee of some sort. The inventor wishes to leave the market open for subsequent variances and possibilities that could improve the feasibility and marketability of the Speed Selfie.
