Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless charging pads are used to charge portable devices, then charging convenience is improved, but portability deteriorates and device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The portable device itself is designed to serve dual functions: it acts as both a power-consuming device and a power-source device. The device includes both a power receiving circuit for wireless charging and a power transmitting circuit for wireless charging other devices, eliminating the need for separate charging pads and cables.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the charging function from external charging equipment and integrates it directly into the portable device. By embedding both transmitting and receiving circuits within the device, the patent removes the need for external charging pads, cables, and power outlets, achieving portable wireless charging capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users carry multiple communication devices, then communication coverage is improved, but resource utilization deteriorates due to duplicate message transmissions
Solution Approach 1:
When multiple portable devices are in close proximity, they establish a collaborative relationship where one device acts as the primary communication device and others act as auxiliary devices. The auxiliary devices forward received messages to the primary device, consolidating communication resources and eliminating duplicate transmissions across the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where auxiliary portable devices serve as mediators for message transmission. Instead of each device independently communicating with the server, auxiliary devices relay messages through the primary device, optimizing network resource utilization while maintaining communication coverage.
3Ease of operation
If portable devices perform wireless charging functions, then charging portability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The portable device is designed with multi-functionality, integrating both power receiving and power transmitting capabilities within a single device. This universal design allows the device to function as both a chargee and a charger, eliminating the need for separate charging equipment while managing complexity through shared hardware resources.
