Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If resonant circuits are added between wireless charging and NFC/RFID circuits, then signal interference is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces resonant circuits as intermediary components between the wireless charging circuit and NFC/RFID circuit. These resonant circuits act as frequency-selective mediators that allow desired signals to pass while blocking interfering signals at different frequencies, thereby resolving the technical contradiction by improving signal stability without requiring complete circuit isolation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the parameter of resonance frequency to differentiate and isolate signal paths. By designing resonant circuits with specific resonance frequencies matching either the wireless charging frequency or NFC/RFID frequency, the system dynamically changes the electrical characteristics of the circuit paths to allow or block specific signals, thus reducing interference while maintaining functional integration
2Reliability
If resonant circuits are used to block unwanted signals, then interference is reduced, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs resonant circuits whose frequency-selective blocking capability is achieved through standard inductor and capacitor components with specific parameter values. By selecting commercially available components with appropriate inductance and capacitance values to achieve the desired resonance frequency, the solution reduces interference while avoiding custom-designed expensive components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses passive resonant circuit components (inductors and capacitors) that are inexpensive, simple to manufacture, and readily available. These passive components replace more complex and expensive active filtering solutions, achieving signal isolation through passive frequency-selective blocking without requiring expensive active devices or complex control circuits

AI summary
This application provides an electronic device, including a first circuit, a second circuit, a coil, and one or more resonant circuits. The first circuit may transmit a first signal through the coil, and the second circuit may transmit a second signal through the coil. Frequencies of the first signal and the second signal are different. The resonant circuit may be disposed between the first circuit and the coil to prevent the second signal from passing, or disposed between the second circuit and the coil to prevent the first signal from passing, so as to prevent the first signal from interfering with the second circuit or prevent the second signal from interfering with the first circuit.
