Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

Enables convenient and flexible charging options, allowing simultaneous use of devices during charging, with the ability to switch between wireless and wired charging modes, enhancing user experience and device accessibility.

Implementation Method 1

an electromagnetic induction scheme uses an electromagnetic energy coupling generated between several wound coils disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-0094197 (laid-open published on Aug. 26, 2010). This scheme is based on Faraday's Law that a magnetic field generated by a coil in which AC or high frequency current flows generates an electromotive force at an output terminal of an adjacent coil.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElectromagnetic induction: Electromagnetic Induction

Implementation Method 2

a light emitting unit connected to the switch and confirming a state of wired charging or wireless charging according to the operating modes

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight emitting diode: Light Emitting Diode
