Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If wired connection is used, then stable power supply is ensured, but valid use distance is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply stabilityVSAvoiduse distance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes mechanical cable-based power transmission with wireless electromagnetic energy transmission. This allows power and data to be transmitted through electromagnetic fields over distances much greater than cable length constraints, enabling functional elements to be placed at various distances from the portable device without physical connection limitations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of information

If additional read device is used to read signals from functional elements, then information can be obtained, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation acquisition capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the read device functionality directly into the portable information detection and processing device. The portable device integrates both detection and reading capabilities in a single unit, eliminating the need for separate read devices and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining full information acquisition capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The portable device is designed with multi-functional capabilities, serving as both a detection device and a read device. It can detect signals from functional elements and read information from recognition chips using the same wireless communication interface, making the system more versatile and less complex.

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If functional elements are installed in hard-to-reach locations, then detection coverage is improved, but accessibility for operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection coverageVSAvoidaccessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
