Solution Overview

Problem

The existing circuit board structures in mobile phones face challenges in connecting wires on both sides of a hole due to the narrow width required for MIPI signal lines, leading to incomplete connections and operational issues.

Innovation Solution

A circuit board structure with a first and second connection part on either side of an accommodating hole, connected by a connection circuit board with wires that do not overlap with the hole, allowing for conductive connections and accommodating wider connection wires for safer and more reliable signal transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the width of the circuit board is reduced to increase battery capacity, then the battery capacity increases, but the wiring area becomes too narrow to accommodate MIPI signal lines with minimum width requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery capacityVSAvoidwiring area width
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a connection circuit board that extends in the width direction beyond the circuit board body, utilizing additional spatial dimension to route connection wires. This allows the wiring area to expand laterally rather than being constrained within the narrow circuit board width, thereby accommodating sufficient wiring area while maintaining reduced circuit board width for increased battery capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection circuit board serves as an intermediary component between the circuit board body and external connections. It carries connection wires that bridge the gap created by the narrow wiring area on the circuit board body, enabling MIPI signal lines and other connections to be established without requiring increased width on the main circuit board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Volume of moving object

If the wiring area is narrowed to accommodate battery size, then the device becomes more compact, but the signal lines cannot be connected reliably due to insufficient width

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compactnessVSAvoidsignal line connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection circuit board extends laterally beyond the circuit board body boundaries, utilizing the width dimension to provide adequate wiring area. This dimensional extension ensures that connection wires have sufficient width for reliable signal transmission while the overall device maintains compact form factor through optimized vertical stacking and space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the circuit board system into two functional segments: the circuit board body for mounting components and the connection circuit board for signal routing. This segmentation allows the connection circuit board to be optimized specifically for wiring requirements with adequate width, while the circuit board body maintains compact dimensions for device integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If a hole is formed in the circuit board to accommodate the fingerprint module, then the fingerprint module can be integrated, but the wiring areas on both sides of the hole become too narrow for signal line connections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefingerprint module integrationVSAvoidwiring area width near hole
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The connection circuit board acts as an intermediary that routes connection wires around the fingerprint module accommodation hole. By extending laterally beyond the circuit board body, it provides alternative pathways for signal lines that would otherwise be blocked or constrained by the hole, ensuring adequate wiring width for reliable connections on both sides of the hole.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection circuit board utilizes the lateral width dimension to bypass the spatial obstruction created by the fingerprint module hole. Connection wires are routed through this extended dimension, allowing them to connect components on opposite sides of the hole without passing through the narrow wiring areas immediately adjacent to the hole opening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
