Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a conventional charger device is used to charge the cell phone and a separate computer is used to back up data, then the charging function is provided, but the data backup requires very long periods of time and is extremely inconvenient for the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata backup speedVSAvoidtime required for charging and data backup
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the charging function and data backup function into a single device. The charger device includes both a power supply circuit for charging and a storage circuit for data backup, allowing both operations to be performed simultaneously through the same connection interface, thereby eliminating the need for separate devices and reducing total operation time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The charger device is designed to perform multiple functions: it can charge electronic devices through the power supply circuit and simultaneously back up data through the storage circuit. This multi-functional design allows the single device to replace both a charger and a data backup system, improving productivity while reducing time loss

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

2Use of energy by moving object

If the electronic product needs to be charged for a longer period of time, then sufficient power can be supplied, but the charging time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply capacityVSAvoidcharging duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables continuous useful action by performing both charging and data backup simultaneously without interruption. The power supply circuit and storage circuit operate in parallel, allowing the user to complete both tasks in one continuous operation rather than sequentially, effectively reducing the perceived charging duration while maintaining adequate power transfer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Reliability

If separate devices are used for charging and data backup, then each device can perform its dedicated function, but the overall process requires multiple devices and more time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvededicated function performanceVSAvoidnumber of devices required
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the charging device and data backup device into a single integrated unit. The device includes both power supply circuitry for charging and storage circuitry for data backup, connected through transmission interfaces, allowing both functions to be performed through a single connection without requiring multiple separate devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
