Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a coupling magnet is placed near a charging coil for wireless power transfer, then wireless charging functionality is achieved, but magnetic field interference degrades charging efficiency and communication quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless charging functionalityVSAvoidcharging efficiency and communication quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display device into separate functional modules: a coupling magnet module for magnetic coupling and a charging coil module for wireless power transfer. By spatially segmenting these components and introducing a shield part between them, the magnetic field interference is isolated, allowing both wireless charging functionality and communication quality to be maintained simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A shield part made of magnetic shielding material is introduced as an intermediary element between the coupling magnet and the charging coil. This shield part acts as a mediator that blocks and redirects magnetic field lines, preventing the coupling magnet's magnetic field from interfering with the charging coil's electromagnetic field, thus resolving the contradiction between achieving wireless charging and maintaining communication quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If magnetic shielding material is added to block interference, then communication quality improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless communication qualityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shield part is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides magnetic field shielding to protect wireless communication quality, acts as a structural support element, and can be integrated with the housing or internal framework of the display device. This multi-functionality approach reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving improved communication quality.

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

3Productivity

If coupling magnet and charging coil are positioned close together, then wireless power transfer efficiency improves, but magnetic field interference with communication signals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless power transfer efficiencyVSAvoidmagnetic field interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by positioning the shield part specifically in the region where magnetic field interference occurs between the coupling magnet and communication antennas. The shield part is strategically placed to block magnetic field lines only in the critical interference zones, while allowing the coupling magnet and charging coil to maintain their close positioning for efficient power transfer. This localized shielding approach addresses the harmful magnetic field interference without compromising overall wireless power transfer efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
