Integrated Signal Transmission Device for Portable Electronics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery chargers for portable electronic devices are prone to loss and do not provide a convenient or aesthetically pleasing solution for connecting and charging devices, especially when high-energy applications deplete the built-in battery.
Innovation Solution
A signal transmission device with a casing, first and second connectors, and various mechanical components that allow for easy connection and disconnection of portable electronic devices, enabling energy and data transfer while providing a protective and detachable shell for operational convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a detachable battery charger or backup battery is used, then the portable electronic device can be charged or transmit/receive files, but the charger may be lost and the device cannot be charged or transfer files
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the battery charger and mobile phone into a single integrated assembly. The charger housing forms part of the phone's protective case, and the charging components are built into the unified structure, eliminating the need for separate detachable chargers and preventing loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated assembly serves multiple functions: the charger housing provides protective casing for the phone, the built-in charger components enable charging, and the unified design allows the same structure to serve both as phone protection and charging equipment.
2Ease of operation
If a conventional detachable battery charger is used, then the device can be charged, but the aesthetic appearance and operational convenience are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the charger and phone into one assembly, the invention eliminates the aesthetic disruption of separate chargers and provides a streamlined, unified appearance while improving operational convenience through integrated controls and automatic connectivity.

AI summary
A signal transmission device disclosed in the present invention includes a casing, a first connector and a second connector. The connectors are disposed inside the casing. The first connector includes a first conductive terminal and a bridging component. The first conductive terminal is electrically connected to a socket of a first portable electronic device. The bridging component includes a conductive portion electrically connected to the first conductive terminal and a non-conductive portion. The second connector includes a conductive piece and a second conductive terminal. An end of the conductive piece contacts the conductive portion or the non-conductive portion according to position variation of the second connector. The second conductive terminal is electrically connected to the conductive piece, and can protrude from a hole on the casing when the conductive piece contacts the conductive portion, so as to insert into a socket of a second portable electronic device.
