Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The apparatus segments the energy conversion process into distinct functional modules: a rectifying part that converts AC from electronic waves to electric energy, and a storing part that accumulates the rectified energy. This modular segmentation improves reliability by isolating failure points and enabling independent optimization of each component's performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a ground providing part as an intermediary element that generates and provides ground to the rectifying and storing parts. This intermediary ground system enhances the overall reliability of energy absorption by stabilizing the electrical reference potential and improving the efficiency of the rectification and storage processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Use of energy by moving object

If grounding is added to enhance energy absorption, then energy absorbency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The ground providing part is integrated within the same housing as the rectifying and storing parts, merging multiple functions (ground generation, ground provision, rectification, and energy storage) into a single unified apparatus. This consolidation improves energy absorbency while minimizing the increase in device complexity by sharing common structural elements and control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
