Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the coil system into separate transmit and receive coils with distinct functions. Data transmission and power transfer are performed through separate coil pairs, physically separating the signal paths to minimize interference while maintaining simultaneous operation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs periodic time-division multiplexing where data and power transmission occur in alternating time slots. This periodic action allows both functions to operate simultaneously without continuous interference, as each coil pair is actively used for one function at a time.

Inventive Principle:
