Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless charging devices for portable electronic products require authentication of the entire product, including the receiving unit, which complicates the detection process due to its incorporation into the back cover, making it inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A charging battery unit with a receiving unit, battery, and circuit board that includes a detecting unit and display, allowing for wireless or wired charging, where the receiving unit is specifically designed to be authenticated independently during Wireless Power Consortium authentication, simplifying the detection process by only requiring authentication of the charging battery unit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the receiving unit is incorporated into the back cover of the portable electronic product, then the wireless charging device can be integrated into the product structure, but the authentication process becomes complicated requiring detection of the whole product instead of just the receiving unit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration of receiving unit into product structureVSAvoidauthentication detection process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the receiving unit from the main product body by using a removable battery design. The receiving unit is integrated into the battery unit, which can be detached from the electronic product. This segmentation allows the receiving unit to be authenticated independently without requiring detection of the entire product, thus resolving the contradiction between structural integration and authentication complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If the receiving unit is incorporated into the back cover, then the product has a unified structure, but the detecting process during WPC authentication becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunified product structureVSAvoidauthentication detection process
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic configuration where the battery unit containing the receiving unit can be dynamically attached or detached from the electronic product. During authentication, the battery unit can be separated to enable focused detection of the receiving unit, improving ease of operation during WPC authentication while maintaining structural unity during normal use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
