Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless charging equipment only provides battery charging function, then the device structure remains simple and reliable, but the service functionality is limited and cannot provide information sharing or content distribution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless charging equipment is designed to perform multiple functions: not only battery charging but also information sharing, content distribution, and communication between terminals. The control unit coordinates these diverse functions by managing power transfer, receiving sharing link information from first terminals, verifying second terminals, and distributing content, thereby making the equipment universal and adaptable to various service needs

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If wireless charging equipment integrates communication and content sharing functions, then service versatility improves, but the device complexity and control difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice versatilityVSAvoidcontrol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the communication functions and power charging functions into a single wireless charging equipment system. The control unit integrates the logic for managing power transfer, receiving sharing link information, verifying terminal identities, and coordinating content distribution, thereby reducing the need for separate control systems and simplifying overall device complexity while maintaining service versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If wireless charging equipment provides only power transfer, then the system is simple and reliable, but user convenience and advertisement effectiveness are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables terminals to automatically share information and distribute content without requiring manual user intervention for each transfer. The wireless charging equipment autonomously verifies terminal identities, manages sharing link information, and coordinates content distribution, thereby enhancing user convenience while the system handles the complexity of these operations automatically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
