Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless charging solutions for electronic styluses in tablet computers result in poor portability due to the stylus falling off and the need for separate handling, compromising the integrity and aesthetics of the system.

Innovation Solution

A wireless charging system integrating a tablet computer, wireless keyboard, and electronic stylus with multiple wireless charging coils and control modules, allowing for both forward and reverse wireless charging, and a receiving cavity for stylus storage, enhancing portability and convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wireless charging coils are arranged in both tablet computer and electronic stylus for wireless charging, then wireless charging function is achieved, but the electronic stylus tends to fall off from the tablet computer due to weak attraction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestylus retentionVSAvoidmagnetic attraction force
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the wireless charging function with the stylus receiving function by integrating wireless charging coils into the keyboard body that can simultaneously charge and retain the stylus. The keyboard body includes a receiving cavity with wireless charging coils that provide both magnetic attraction for retention and wireless power transfer, merging two functions into one integrated system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If electronic stylus is separately received and charged from tablet computer and wireless keyboard, then charging function is achieved, but portability of the entire system deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging functionVSAvoidsystem portability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The keyboard body is designed with multi-functionality: it serves as both an input device and a charging station for the stylus. The receiving cavity in the keyboard body can receive and wirelessly charge the stylus, eliminating the need for separate charging devices and improving system portability by consolidating functions.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If receiving cavity is arranged in wireless keyboard for stylus storage, then integration of receiving and wireless charging is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration levelVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the receiving cavity structure with the wireless charging coil assembly in the keyboard body. The same cavity that receives the stylus also houses the wireless charging coils, combining structural support and charging functionality into a single integrated component rather than adding separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
