Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If transmission cables are used for data transmission and charging between smart phone and laptop computer, then data transmission and charging can be achieved, but users must carry multiple cables for different smartphone specifications which causes burden and inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cable connection function from the traditional laptop interface and relocates it to a movable stage that can hold smartphones directly. The stage moves to make contact with the smartphone, eliminating the need for external cables while maintaining reliable data transmission and charging capabilities through wireless or direct contactless connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable stage serves multiple functions: it acts as a mechanical connector, a wireless communication antenna positioning device, and a charging interface. By integrating these functions into a single universal component, the system can accommodate different smartphone specifications without requiring multiple specialized cables or adapters.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transmission cables for different smartphone specifications are carried, then compatibility with various devices is ensured, but the burden on users increases and portability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The movable stage is designed as a universal interface that can adapt to different smartphone specifications through its movement capability. Instead of carrying multiple specialized cables, users only need to carry the laptop with the integrated movable stage, which automatically adjusts to accommodate various device types and sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The stage is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position and configuration to match different smartphone specifications. This dynamic adaptation eliminates the need for multiple static cable types, reducing user burden while maintaining versatility.
3Reliability
If transmission cables are used for charging, then charging function is achieved, but the system requires physical connection which reduces mobility and convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the charging connection function from external cables and integrates it into the laptop's movable stage. This allows the charging capability to be maintained through direct contactless connection or integrated wireless charging, eliminating cable management complexity while ensuring reliable power transfer.
