Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by identifying and utilizing the weak electromagnetic field region (at ¼ to ¾ wavelength from the antenna reference point) specifically for placing the connection hole. This localized placement strategy creates a favorable electromagnetic environment for the connection structure without affecting other areas of the device, thereby reducing noise coupling while maintaining connection functionality.

Inventive Principle:

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the connection hole is positioned in the weak electromagnetic field region (¼ to ¾ wavelength from antenna reference point), then the coupling between antenna and high-frequency noise is reduced, but the positioning precision and layout planning become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and marking the weak electromagnetic field region position (at ¼ to ³⁄⁴ wavelength from the antenna reference point) during the design phase. This allows the connection hole to be precisely positioned in advance, avoiding last-minute adjustments and ensuring optimal placement that minimizes noise coupling while maintaining manufacturing feasibility.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by using the weak electromagnetic field region (at ¼ to ¾ wavelength from the antenna) as a mediator zone for the connection structure. This intermediary placement allows the connection hole to pass through the middle frame and establish electrical connection while being positioned in a region that naturally attenuates electromagnetic coupling, thus reducing noise generation and interference.
