Terminal Structure Integrating Pogo Pads Into a Logo Region
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing number of pogo pads on electronic devices degrades the aesthetics of the device.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a terminal structure that includes a connector part, a decoration part with a conductive and non-conductive region, and a cover part, which enhances the aesthetics by arranging pogo pads in a logo region of the housing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of pogo pads is increased to provide more connection functions, then the functionality and versatility of the electronic device is improved, but the aesthetics of the electronic device deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple pogo pads into a single integrated terminal structure. The terminal structure includes a connector part with multiple connector terminals arranged in an array, allowing multiple connection functions to be provided through one unified component rather than multiple separate pogo pads, thus maintaining versatility while improving aesthetics
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal structure is designed as a universal connector that can provide multiple connection functions simultaneously. The connector part includes multiple connector terminals that can establish different types of connections (data transmission, charging, identification) through a single integrated structure, enabling one component to serve multiple purposes

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a printed circuit board, a housing inside which the printed circuit board is disposed, and a terminal structure disposed at least partially in a region of the housing, wherein the terminal structure includes a connector part that includes a first connector in which a connector terminal is disposed and a second connector electrically connected to the printed circuit board, a decoration part that includes a conductive region in contact with the connector terminal at one end and exposed to an outside of the housing at the other end, and a non-conductive region surrounding the conductive region, and is disposed on the first connector, and a cover part that includes a cover opening in which at least a portion of the conductive region is disposed and is disposed between the decoration part and the housing.
