1Object-affected harmful factors

If an additional SAR sensor is added to detect object movement, then antenna transmission power can be adjusted to reduce radiation exposure, but the device cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradiation exposure to human bodyVSAvoiddevice cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The acceleration sensor, originally designed for motion detection functionality, is made multi-functional by using it to detect object proximity and movement for antenna control purposes. This eliminates the need for a dedicated SAR sensor while maintaining the ability to adjust transmission power based on object presence, thereby reducing device cost while addressing radiation exposure concerns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the existing acceleration sensor's data processing capabilities to serve the additional function of detecting object movement for antenna power adjustment. By leveraging the sensor's inherent functionality and existing processing units, the system achieves SAR-based control without requiring additional specialized hardware components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Object-affected harmful factors

If transmission power is reduced to lower electromagnetic absorption ratio, then radiation exposure to human body is reduced, but antenna transmission performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna transmission power is dynamically adjusted based on real-time detection of object proximity and movement status. The system transitions between different power levels (high power for normal transmission, reduced power when object is detected) to balance transmission performance requirements with radiation exposure reduction, creating a dynamic power control mechanism that adapts to changing conditions
