Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require separate power adapters and wireless modules, making them cumbersome to carry and occupy multiple input/output ports on mobile terminals.

Innovation Solution

An integrated device combining a power adapter with a detachable wireless module, where the charging plug supplies power to the wireless module through a connector system, allowing for independent and combined functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate power adapter and wireless module are used, then each device can function independently, but users need to carry multiple devices and occupy multiple ports

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent functionalityVSAvoidnumber of devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the power adapter and wireless module into a single integrated device. The power adapter includes a charging plug and a first connector, while the wireless module includes a second connector that mates with the first connector. When connected, they form an integrated unit that provides both power adapter and wireless module functions through a single device, reducing the number of separate devices users need to carry and connect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate power adapter and wireless module are used, then each device can function independently, but users need to occupy two input/output ports of mobile terminal device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent functionalityVSAvoidnumber of ports occupied
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated device design allows both power adapter and wireless module functions to be achieved through a single connection to the mobile terminal device. The power adapter's first connector and the wireless module's second connector mate together, forming one unified interface that occupies only one input/output port of the mobile terminal device, rather than requiring two separate ports.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If power adapter and wireless module are combined into single integrated device, then convenience of carrying is improved, but the devices must be connected through additional connectors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of carryingVSAvoidconnector system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated device is segmented into two functional components: the power adapter portion with the charging plug and first connector, and the wireless module portion with the second connector. This segmentation allows the components to be detachably connected through the connector system, providing flexibility while maintaining the integrated functionality. The connectors enable easy assembly and disassembly, balancing the need for integration with user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An integrated device includes a power adapter and a wireless module. The power adapter includes a charging plug and a first connector. The wireless module includes a second connector mateable with the first connector. Each of the power adapter and the wireless module is an independent device. In addition, the power adapter and the wireless module can be detachably combined together through the first connector and the second connector. With this arrangement, when the power adapter and the wireless module are used separately, their respective functions can be achieved. When the power adapter and the wireless module are used in combination, the wireless module can be powered by the power adapter, thereby improving the convenience of using the integrated device.
