Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If NFC module parameters are preset for card simulation, then card simulation functionality is enabled, but compatibility with card swiping devices deteriorates due to parameter mismatch

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecard simulation functionalityVSAvoidcompatibility with card swiping devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static NFC parameters into dynamic adjustable parameters. The system automatically adjusts NFC working parameters (such as frequency, power, and timing) based on real-time detection results from card swiping devices, enabling the NFC module to adapt its configuration dynamically rather than relying on fixed preset values.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system detects whether card swiping operations succeed or fail, and uses this information to automatically adjust NFC parameters. The card swiping device provides feedback signals that indicate reading success or failure, which triggers automatic parameter optimization in subsequent attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If NFC parameters are manually configured, then configuration precision can be improved, but configuration time and user operation complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration precisionVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the NFC system to automatically configure and optimize its own parameters without user intervention. The system self-adjusts working parameters by detecting card swiping results and automatically modifying NFC configuration, eliminating the need for manual parameter setting while achieving optimal configuration precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary parameter adjustments automatically during initial card swiping attempts. The system pre-configures multiple parameter sets and automatically selects and switches between them based on detection results, so that optimal parameters are established before actual card swiping operations are required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present invention provides an NFC configuration method. The method includes following steps: when a preset NFC module is configured as an NFC card, current position information is acquired, and a static parameter in all of operating parameters of the NFC module is set as a first preset value corresponding to the current position information; when the NFC card is read by a card reader within a geographic range corresponding to the current position information, dynamic parameters in all of the operating parameters of the NFC module are set as multiple second preset values corresponding to the current position information in turn, where the multiple second preset values are ordered according to a preset sequence. Also, the present invention provides a mobile terminal and a computer-readable storage medium. By implementing the above schemes, the configuration precision and configuration speed of the operating parameters of the NFC module are greatly improved, and the user experience that the user simulates the NFC module into the NFC card is significantly improved.
