Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wireless power transmission is implemented without mobility coordination, then power sharing capability is provided, but power distribution efficiency deteriorates due to fixed device positions and inability to optimize transmission paths
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces mobility to the power transmission system, allowing transmitting and receiving devices to dynamically change their positions to optimize power transmission efficiency. The coordinator device manages mobile devices that can move to optimal locations for power sharing, transforming the static power distribution system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing conditions and maximizes efficiency.
2Productivity
If multiple devices share power simultaneously without coordination, then power sharing coverage is improved, but power distribution control deteriorates leading to inefficient power allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a coordinator device that acts as an intermediary to manage power sharing among multiple devices. The coordinator receives power sharing requests, determines optimal transmitting and receiving device pairs, and controls the power transmission process. This intermediary structure enables efficient multi-device power sharing while maintaining centralized control and optimization of power allocation.
3Power
If fixed devices are used for power transmission, then system simplicity is maintained, but power transmission efficiency deteriorates due to inability to optimize transmission distance and path
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static power transmission system into a dynamic one by enabling devices to move. Mobile transmitting and receiving devices can adjust their positions to optimize transmission efficiency, and the coordinator manages this mobility to achieve optimal power transfer while maintaining system control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables devices to autonomously participate in power sharing by detecting power needs and initiating power transmission requests. Devices can independently determine when they need power or can provide power, reducing the need for constant centralized control while maintaining efficient power distribution through the coordinator's management.
