Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional wireless charging technology is used, then wireless charging capability is provided, but user-friendliness and convenience are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-friendlinessVSAvoidcharging process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The portable terminal automatically performs charging without user intervention by detecting its own battery level, selecting appropriate charging parameters, and initiating the wireless charging process autonomously when entering the charging area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures charging parameters and automatically prepares the charging environment before the user needs it, detecting the terminal's entry into the charging area and initiating charging procedures in advance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If manual intervention is required for wireless charging, then charging control is possible, but convenience and speed are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging speedVSAvoiduser intervention time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The portable terminal autonomously monitors its battery level, determines when charging is needed, and initiates the charging process without requiring user action, eliminating the time loss associated with manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If wireless charging is provided without specifying a method, then charging capability is available, but user convenience is not optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconvenienceVSAvoidcharging reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors battery level, charging status, and terminal position, using this feedback to automatically adjust charging parameters and maintain optimal charging conditions throughout the process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes charging protocols and parameters based on detected terminal characteristics and battery requirements, ensuring reliable charging from the outset without requiring user configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for wirelessly charging a portable terminal using a Radio Frequency (RF) is provided. A charging system detects one or more portable terminals within a predetermined area, and preferably requests information needed for charging to the one or more portable terminals via short-range communication, receives the information in response needed for charging from each of the one or more portable terminals. A portable terminal to be wirelessly charged from among the one or more portable terminals is selected, based on the received information needed for charging, and the charging system transmits a predetermined RF for charging to the selected portable terminal.
