They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has-people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interest.
分析：本句是个多重复合句.主语是they,谓语动词是think,后面是省略了that的宾语从句.宾语从句中 that the selfie stick has是定语从句,修饰 problem；宾语从句中还含有一个由 while引导的时间状语从句 while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interest.句意：他们认为他们的发明解决了自拍杆存在的主要问题—当人们怀着极大的兴趣自拍时,他们看起来很孤单.
