Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If electromagnetic induction method is used for wireless charging, then the apparatus size can be reduced and implementation is simplified, but charging efficiency decreases and transmission distance is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines electromagnetic induction method and magnetic resonance method in a single wireless charging apparatus. The controller selectively activates either or both methods based on real-time location information of the receiving device, thereby merging the advantages of both methods while mitigating their individual limitations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically switches between electromagnetic induction and magnetic resonance methods based on the real-time location of the receiving device. The controller adjusts the charging method according to distance and position, making the system adaptive rather than static.
2Productivity
If magnetic resonance method is used for wireless charging, then charging efficiency at remote distance is improved, but power leakage affects human body safety
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the charging method based on real-time location data. When the receiving device is within a safe distance threshold, electromagnetic induction is used; when beyond the threshold, magnetic resonance is activated to maintain charging efficiency while monitoring safety parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controller continuously monitors location information of the receiving device and adjusts the charging method accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures optimal charging efficiency while maintaining safety by switching methods based on real-time conditions.
3Productivity
If user manually selects charging method based on power efficiency and safety, then charging optimization can be achieved, but user convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the wireless charging apparatus to automatically perform method selection without user intervention. The controller autonomously determines the optimal charging method by analyzing location information from NFC, image recognition, or GPS, thereby providing self-service optimization while maintaining user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual user selection with automated electronic systems including location recognizers (NFC, image recognition, GPS) and a controller that algorithmically determines the optimal charging method, substituting mechanical/user-based selection with electronic automation.
4Ease of operation
If location recognition and automatic selection system is implemented, then user convenience and charging efficiency are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the location recognition function into multiple independent modules: NFC module for short-range communication, image recognition module for visual positioning, and GPS module for global location tracking. This segmentation allows flexible activation of only necessary modules based on specific应用场景, reducing overall system complexity.
