Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional mice, both mechanical and optical, face challenges in accurately detecting displacement when not in contact with a charging surface, leading to potential incorrect cursor control and inefficient energy usage.

Innovation Solution

A wireless charging mouse equipped with a wireless power receiving circuit, displacement detecting circuit, and control circuit that wirelessly receives electromagnetic energy from a charging board, outputs a displacement detecting signal only when the mouse is in contact, preventing incorrect detection by stopping signal output when energy levels are below a threshold.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the wireless charging mouse continuously outputs displacement detecting signals, then the cursor control responsiveness is improved, but the energy consumption increases and incorrect detection occurs when not in contact with charging board

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecursor control responsivenessVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit periodically checks the electromagnetic energy level received from the charging board and discontinuously outputs displacement detecting signals only when the energy level meets the threshold requirement, rather than continuously outputting signals. This periodic verification and conditional signal output reduces energy consumption while maintaining responsive cursor control when properly charged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The control circuit receives feedback about the electromagnetic energy level from the wireless power receiving circuit and adjusts the signal output accordingly. When the received energy is insufficient, the control circuit stops outputting displacement detecting signals, preventing incorrect cursor control and conserving energy. This feedback mechanism ensures responsive operation only when energy conditions are adequate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Duration of action of moving object

If the wireless charging mouse outputs displacement detecting signals when electromagnetic energy is insufficient, then the operational continuity is improved, but the detection accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational continuityVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit continuously monitors the electromagnetic energy level received from the charging board and uses this feedback to determine whether to output displacement detecting signals. When the energy level falls below the threshold, the control circuit stops signal output, preventing inaccurate detection. This feedback-based decision ensuring detection accuracy is maintained while operational continuity is preserved through conditional operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the operational parameter (signal output state) based on the electromagnetic energy level parameter. When the energy parameter drops below a threshold value, the system transitions from signal output mode to signal stop mode, preventing detection errors. This parameter-based control ensures detection accuracy is maintained by adapting operation to energy availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If the wireless charging mouse stops outputting displacement detecting signals when electromagnetic energy is low, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the operational interruptions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidoperational interruptions
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit uses real-time feedback from the wireless power receiving circuit about electromagnetic energy levels to make intelligent decisions about signal output. This feedback mechanism allows the system to maintain detection accuracy by stopping signals only when necessary, minimizing unnecessary operational interruptions while ensuring accurate detection when signals are active.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary checks of electromagnetic energy levels before outputting displacement detecting signals. By verifying energy sufficiency in advance, the system prevents detection errors from occurring rather than correcting them afterward, reducing operational interruptions caused by inaccurate detection and subsequent corrections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed is a wireless charging mouse, comprising a wireless power receiving circuit, a wireless radiating circuit, a displacement detecting circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit is electrically connected to the wireless power receiving circuit, the wireless radiating circuit and the displacement detecting circuit. The wireless power receiving circuit wirelessly receives electromagnetic energy from a charging board. The displacement detecting circuit detects the displacement of the wireless charging mouse. The control circuit receives the electromagnetic energy from the wireless power receiving circuit, and outputs a displacement detecting signal to a wireless receiver through the wireless radiating circuit according to the detected displacement obtained from the displacement detecting circuit. When the electromagnetic energy received by the wireless charging mouse is less than a predetermined electromagnetic energy, the control circuit stops outputting the displacement detecting signal to the wireless receiver.
