Problem

Existing portable terminals face issues with interference between non-contact charging systems using wireless power transmission and electronic settlement systems due to harmonic components, leading to unstable signal transmission and failure in performing desired functions.

Innovation Solution

A non-contact power reception apparatus with a power reception coil and loop antenna mounted on a battery pack and cover case, allowing selective modes for wireless power signal reception and data transmission, and a jig for fabricating a double-structure core to improve mobility and transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If both power reception coil and loop antenna are mounted in a single portable terminal, then non-contact charging and electronic settlement can be performed, but interference from harmonic components causes unstable signal transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedual functionality (charging and settlement)VSAvoidsignal transmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The portable terminal is divided into distinct functional regions: the power reception coil is mounted on the battery pack while the loop antenna is mounted on the cover case. This spatial segmentation separates the charging system and settlement system into different physical locations, reducing electromagnetic interference between the two systems while maintaining dual functionality in a single terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If power reception coil is placed in the center and loop antenna is disposed outside, then mode selection between power reception and data transmission is enabled, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemode selection capabilityVSAvoidmounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cover case serves multiple functions: it protects the terminal and simultaneously provides a mounting platform for the loop antenna. The battery pack also serves dual purposes as both power source and mounting structure for the power reception coil. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated mounting structures, simplifying the overall device complexity while enabling mode selection capability.

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