Shared Module Control for Wireless Charging and Electrical Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electrical devices and wireless charging devices operate independently, leading to resource wastage and inconvenience for users, as they require separate controlling units and handling.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow an electrical device and a wireless charging device to share at least one module, with a controlling unit that receives interrupt signals to activate shared modules for performing functions, enabling simultaneous operation and resource sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electrical device and wireless charging device operate independently with separate controlling units, then each device can function autonomously, but resource wastage occurs and user convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the electrical device and wireless charging device into a single integrated apparatus that shares a common controlling unit. The controlling unit includes a monitoring module that receives interrupt signals from both devices and an activating module that activates shared modules based on the interrupt signal type, enabling one controlling unit to manage both functions simultaneously and eliminate resource wastage from duplicate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional apparatus where a single controlling unit serves both electrical device operations and wireless charging operations. The shared modules can be activated for different functions depending on the interrupt signal received, allowing the same hardware resources to perform multiple roles and reducing overall system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If two separate controlling units are used for electrical device and wireless charging device, then each device can be controlled independently, but user convenience decreases due to handling two separate devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two separate controlling units into one integrated controlling unit that manages both the electrical device and wireless charging device. This single controlling unit includes a monitoring module that can identify the type of interrupt signal and activate appropriate shared modules, allowing users to interact with one unified device rather than two separate ones.
3Productivity
If shared modules are activated based on interrupt signal types, then resource efficiency improves, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring module within the controlling unit automatically identifies the type of interrupt signal and autonomously determines which shared module to activate. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for external complex control logic, as the system automatically routes interrupt signals to the appropriate functional modules based on signal type classification.

AI summary
Method and apparatus for controlling an electrical device and a wireless charging device, each comprising one or more modules. An interrupt signal is received. A type of the interrupt signal is determined. A first module is activated based on the type of the interrupt signal to perform one or more functions. The electrical device and the wireless charging device share at least the first module.
