Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless power transfer systems face conflicts between time protocols in data communication, leading to instability and safety issues during power control, particularly when different devices with varying power levels and communication protocols interact.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method where the wireless power transmitter sends a second data packet within a first timeout, with the timeout value being greater than the time protocol for at least one CE packet, ensuring stable and safe data communication and power control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the wireless power transmitter uses a timeout value greater than the time protocol for CE packets, then data communication stability is improved, but communication response time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata communication stabilityVSAvoidcommunication response time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the timeout value based on the specific communication scenario. By setting the timeout greater than the CE packet time protocol only when needed for stability, while allowing faster timeouts in other scenarios, the system achieves both stability and responsiveness without being constrained by a fixed timeout value.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The timeout parameter is changed from a fixed value to a variable that can be adjusted based on communication requirements. This allows the system to optimize between stability and response time by selecting appropriate timeout values for different operational contexts, resolving the contradiction between reliability and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If different devices with varying power levels and communication protocols interact, then system versatility is improved, but protocol conflicts and control stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidpower control stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless power transmitter is designed with universal communication capabilities that can handle multiple protocols and device types. By implementing a unified timeout management mechanism that works across different protocol scenarios, the system achieves versatile device compatibility while maintaining stable power control through consistent timeout handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The timeout mechanism serves as an intermediary layer between diverse communication protocols and the power control system. By standardizing timeout values that are greater than CE packet protocols, this intermediary ensures stable power control while allowing various devices with different protocols to interact, thus resolving protocol conflicts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the system prioritizes stable power control through extended timeout values, then power transmission safety is improved, but data communication efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower transmission safetyVSAvoiddata communication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies extended timeout values selectively rather than universally. By using timeout values greater than CE packet protocols only in scenarios where power transmission safety is critical, while allowing more efficient timeouts in stable scenarios, the system achieves safety without excessive impact on overall communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

This approach enables stable and safe power control by managing conflicts between time protocols, ensuring efficient data communication and compatibility across different wireless power transfer systems.

Implementation Method 1

The magnetic induction method corresponds to a method transmitting power by using electric currents that are induced to the coil of the receiver by a magnetic field, which is generated from a coil battery cell of the transmitter, in accordance with an electromagnetic coupling between a transmitting coil and a receiving coil.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElectromagnetic induction: Electromagnetic Induction

Implementation Method 2

The magnetic resonance method is similar to the magnetic induction method in that is uses a magnetic field. However, the magnetic resonance method is different from the magnetic induction method in that energy is transmitted due to a concentration of magnetic fields on both a transmitting end and a receiving end, which is caused by the generated resonance.
