Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional devices like Bluetooth dongles are used to exchange control information for power transfer and mouse pointer control, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power control communication and mouse pointer control communication into a single Bluetooth communication channel. The mouse simultaneously transmits both power transfer control information and pointer position information through the same Bluetooth module, eliminating the need for separate Bluetooth dongles and reducing device complexity while maintaining communication reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The Bluetooth communication module is designed to handle multiple functions: it serves as both the power transfer control communication channel and the mouse pointer control communication channel. This multi-functional approach allows a single device to replace multiple specialized devices, reducing overall system complexity.
2Reliability
If separate communication channels are used for power control and pointer control, then communication reliability is improved, but the number of devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the separate communication channels into a single Bluetooth communication interface. Both power transfer control data and mouse pointer control data are transmitted through the same Bluetooth module, reducing the quantity of devices from multiple separate communication channels to a single integrated channel.
Solution Approach 2:
The single Bluetooth communication module performs multiple functions: it handles both power transfer control communication and mouse pointer control communication. This multi-functionality reduces the number of devices needed while maintaining the reliability of separate communication channels through logical separation of data streams.
