Charging Device Automatic Data Backup Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging devices require separate control commands for data backup and charging, making it complicated for users, especially the elderly or inexperienced, to back up data from mobile terminals during charging.
Innovation Solution
A charging device that automatically alternates between charging and backup modes based on data availability, allowing data backup during charging without additional user input, using different connection modes to manage power supply and data transfer efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate control commands are used for data backup and charging, then data backup function is available, but device operation becomes complicated for users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the charging function and data backup function into a single integrated operation. When a mobile terminal is connected to the charging device, both charging and automatic data backup are performed simultaneously without requiring separate user commands, thus simplifying the operation while maintaining both functions
Solution Approach 2:
The charging device automatically performs data backup without user intervention. The controller detects data in the mobile terminal and automatically retrieves and stores it in the charger's non-volatile memory, making the system self-service and eliminating the need for complex user commands
2Productivity
If data backup is performed during charging, then data backup frequency increases, but charging stability may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic alternation between charging mode and backup mode. The controller switches between these modes at predetermined time intervals, allowing the system to perform both charging and data backup functions while maintaining stable operation in each mode during its active period
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically switches between different connection modes based on the current operation phase. The controller can transition between charging mode and backup mode as needed, providing flexible and adaptive operation that maintains stability while enabling both functions
