Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If inductive components are implemented in portable electronic devices for NFC functionality, then wireless communication capability is improved, but device size and component layout complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the NFC communication function with the existing touch panel structure by integrating transmitting and receiving electrodes directly into the touch panel layers. This eliminates the need for separate inductive components, thereby reducing device size while maintaining wireless communication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch panel electrodes serve dual purposes: they function as both touch sensing elements and NFC communication antennas. This multi-functionality approach allows the same structural components to perform multiple roles, reducing overall device complexity and size.
2Adaptability or versatility
If inductive components are implemented in portable electronic devices for NFC functionality, then wireless communication capability is improved, but component layout and structure arrangement are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the NFC antenna structure with the touch panel electrode structure, eliminating the need for separate inductive components and their associated mounting requirements. This integration simplifies component layout and structure arrangement while maintaining wireless communication functionality.
3Volume of moving object
If touch communications technology is used instead of NFC, then device size and cost are reduced, but the ability to trigger various operations through different connection sequences is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic operation triggering based on the sequence of touch communications connections. Different operations are activated depending on the specific sequence in which connection events occur, allowing the system to perform multiple functions using the same hardware infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors and responds to the sequence of connection events between touch panel devices, using this feedback information to determine which operation to trigger. This enables versatile operation control without requiring additional hardware components.
