Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless charging is implemented through cellular networks without terminal capability information, then wireless charging function can be provided, but the configuration accuracy and charging efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless charging configuration accuracyVSAvoidterminal capability information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal reports its wireless charging capability information (support status, power ratings, antenna configurations, frequency ranges) to the base station in advance before actual charging occurs. This preliminary information provision enables the base station to perform accurate capability matching and configuration selection, resolving the information loss problem and improving configuration accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the terminal provides capability information to the network side. The base station uses this feedback to determine appropriate charging configurations (power levels, antenna selections, frequency allocations), creating a closed-loop system that improves charging effectiveness through informed decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If terminal capability information is collected and reported, then configuration accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability measurement precisionVSAvoidcapability reporting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capability information is segmented into distinct, manageable components: wireless charging support indicator, power rating information, antenna configuration details, and frequency range specifications. This segmentation allows the base station to process and match individual capability elements independently, reducing the complexity of handling comprehensive terminal capability data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If accurate capability matching is performed, then charging effectiveness improves, but information processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging effectivenessVSAvoidcapability matching time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By collecting and storing terminal capability information in advance during initial communication or registration phases, the system prepares matching data beforehand. When charging is requested, the base station can perform rapid capability matching using pre-collected information, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining high charging effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
