In mobile communications, terminals with higher capacity batteries are not commonly used due to insufficient battery life, especially as devices become more functional and screen size increases, necessitating a convenient and efficient charging method.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for wireless charging using a base station with large-scale antennae, where the terminal sends a wireless charging request to the base station, allowing for long-distance charging without physical contact, based on its current state and the base station's conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless charging is implemented through base station, then charging convenience is improved and direct device connection is reduced, but system complexity and resource management requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base station serves as an intermediary device between the power source and the terminal. Instead of requiring direct connection between charging devices and terminals, the base station receives wireless charging requests from terminals and coordinates the charging process, thereby simplifying user operations while managing system complexity centrally at the base station level
Solution Approach 2:
The base station is designed to perform multiple functions including both communication and wireless charging coordination. By integrating charging management capabilities into the existing base station infrastructure, the system avoids adding separate dedicated charging devices, thus improving ease of operation without proportionally increasing overall system complexity
2Duration of action of moving object
If battery capacity is increased to extend usage time, then device functionality is improved, but device weight and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables preliminary charging actions by allowing terminals to request and receive wireless charging from base stations before complete battery depletion occurs. This preliminary charging approach extends effective battery life without requiring larger batteries, as energy is replenished proactively through the wireless charging infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical approach of physically connecting charging cables with devices with a wireless electromagnetic field-based charging system. The base station transmits charging signals wirelessly to terminals, eliminating the need for physical connectors and enabling charging without direct contact, thus extending battery life without adding device weight
