Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless charging systems face inefficiencies in data transmission due to physical limitations of electromagnetic waves, leading to slower data transfer compared to cable transmission, which often results in users abandoning wireless charging for data transfer.

Innovation Solution

A wireless charging system that includes a charging device with a first current source and a controller to adjust the current value of a source signal based on transmitted data, using an interacting magnetic field to transmit both charging current and data via a radio frequency method, with a receiving device that converts the signal into an AC current and retrieves the data through a rectifying, stabilizing, and transforming module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If electromagnetic waves are used for wireless data transmission during charging, then wireless charging convenience is improved, but data transmission speed deteriorates due to physical limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless charging convenienceVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges power transmission and data transmission into a single electromagnetic wave channel. The charging device transmits both power signals and data signals through the same magnetic field coupling path, eliminating the need for separate communication hardware and achieving high-speed data transfer alongside wireless charging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The electromagnetic wave transmission system is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it transmits both electrical energy for charging and digital data for communication. This multi-functional approach allows the wireless charging system to replace both power adapters and data cables, providing universal convenience without sacrificing data transfer capability.

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

2Reliability

If traditional wireless charging is used, then charging function is achieved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates due to time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging functionVSAvoiddata transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables continuous simultaneous transmission of power and data through the magnetic field coupling channel. While power is being transferred wirelessly, data transmission occurs in parallel without interrupting or delaying either function, eliminating the time loss associated with sequential operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The charging device and receiving device establish magnetic field coupling and begin dual-mode transmission (power + data) from the outset of the charging process. No separate data transmission phase is needed, as data exchange is prepared and executed concurrently with power transfer initiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
