Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile terminals face inefficiencies in wireless charging due to vibration modes that cause shifting during battery charging, leading to ineffective power transmission and potential disconnection from the charging module.

Innovation Solution

A method and mobile terminal configuration that allows changing the receiving mode from vibration to non-vibration mode during wireless charging, enabling stable charging by presetting or user-selecting modes like silent or sound modes, and automatically switching if no input is detected, with a mode change menu displayed on the screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the mobile terminal operates in vibration mode during wireless charging, then the terminal can provide haptic feedback for events, but the terminal shifts position causing ineffective power transmission and potential disconnection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehaptic feedback capabilityVSAvoidcharging stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes the receiving mode of the mobile terminal based on the charging state. When wireless charging is detected, the terminal automatically switches from vibration mode to non-vibration mode, allowing flexible adaptation between haptic feedback capability and charging stability without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal remains in vibration mode during charging, then the terminal maintains its original functionality, but wireless charging efficiency decreases due to position shifting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceiving mode flexibilityVSAvoidcharging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the operational parameters of the terminal by switching the receiving mode from vibration to non-vibration when charging is detected. This parameter change optimizes charging efficiency while maintaining the ability to switch back or provide alternative notifications through other means

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
