Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless charging and sensing functions are introduced to terminals, then service diversity and functionality are improved, but network device complexity in determining and configuring these capabilities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice diversityVSAvoidnetwork device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the capability reporting process into distinct parts: terminals independently report their wireless charging and sensing capabilities through standardized signaling, while network devices process these reports separately for different terminal types. This segmentation reduces network device complexity by avoiding the need to handle all capability determination logic centrally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by having terminals proactively report their wireless charging and sensing capabilities before actual service deployment. This capability indication mechanism allows network devices to pre-configure appropriate parameters and resources, simplifying subsequent service management and reducing real-time configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If terminals support multiple wireless communication capabilities, then communication performance can be optimized, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring these capabilities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidcapability detection difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where terminals report their wireless charging and sensing capabilities back to network devices through standardized signaling. This feedback loop enables network devices to accurately detect terminal capabilities without complex measurement procedures, as terminals self-report their supported functions and parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies self-service by enabling terminals to autonomously determine and report their own wireless communication capabilities. Instead of requiring network devices to actively test and detect each capability, terminals self-identify their supported functions (wireless charging, sensing, or both) and communicate this information through standardized indication signaling, greatly simplifying the detection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
