Wireless Communication Board with Dual Main-Board Connections

Solution Overview

Problem

The management cost of wireless communication boards increases due to the need for separate manufacturing of boards with different connection structures, such as surface mounting and wire connections, to accommodate various electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication board that integrates both surface mounting pads and wire connections on a single board, allowing for flexible connection to main boards via surface mounting technology or wire connections, supporting various communication standards like Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-wave, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, and infrared communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If separate wireless communication boards are manufactured for different connection structures (surface mounting vs. wire connection), then each board can be optimized for its specific connection type, but the number of parts to manage increases and management cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconnection structure optimizationVSAvoidnumber of parts

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines both surface mounting pads and wire connection terminals onto a single wireless communication board. The board includes a circuit board with both types of connection interfaces integrated, allowing one board design to serve both connection methods that were previously required separate boards.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wireless communication board is designed with universal connectivity by incorporating multiple connection types (surface mounting pads and wire connection terminals) on the same board, enabling it to function with both surface-mounted and wire-connected main boards, thus serving multiple purposes with a single design.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
