A mobile device accessory system featuring ergonomic grips, a middle portion with a wireless charging transmission coil, and a swappable battery pack with magnetic coupling, allowing for wireless charging and power transfer without the need for wires or cords, with the battery pack also capable of wireless charging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If external battery packs are used to address battery drain, then power capacity is extended, but device portability and ease of operation deteriorate due to the need to carry separate battery packs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the battery pack and gaming accessory into a single integrated unit. The battery pack includes ergonomic grips, a middle portion with wireless charging coil, and couples directly to the mobile device, eliminating the need to carry separate external battery packs while providing both extended power capacity and gaming functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides extended power capacity through swappable battery packs, enables wireless charging of the mobile device through the transmission coil, and offers ergonomic gaming support through the grip structure. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by consolidating what would otherwise be separate devices.
2Use of energy by moving object
If traditional external battery packs are used, then power extension is achieved, but device complexity increases due to additional components and wiring
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical wiring and cable connections with wireless charging technology. The transmission coil in the middle portion wirelessly transmits power to the mobile device, eliminating the need for physical connectors and reducing structural complexity while achieving power extension.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack is designed as a modular system with swappable battery packs that can be independently replaced. This segmentation allows users to exchange battery packs without affecting other components, simplifying the overall system architecture and reducing complexity through standardized interfaces.
3Ease of operation
If wireless charging is incorporated into gaming accessories, then user convenience is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The middle portion of the battery pack serves dual functions: it provides structural support for the ergonomic grip design and houses the wireless charging transmission coil. This multi-functionality consolidates components that would otherwise be separate, reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining user convenience features.
