Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple resonant circuits (first primary resonant circuit, first secondary resonant circuit, second secondary resonant circuit) into a single mouse pad device, integrating wireless power transmission capabilities for both keyboard and mouse devices into one platform, thereby providing continuous power source functionality without requiring separate charging devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The mouse pad device is designed to simultaneously support multiple functions: it serves as a workspace for keyboard and mouse devices while also providing wireless power transmission to both devices through multiple resonant circuits, making it a multi-functional integrated solution

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

2Ease of operation

If wired power supply is used for keyboard and mouse devices, then continuous power is provided, but user convenience and experience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless power supply convenienceVSAvoidpower supply stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless electromagnetic power transmission system using resonant circuits, eliminating the need for physical plug-and-play connections while maintaining continuous power supply capability through inductive coupling between primary and secondary resonant circuits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a single resonant circuit is used for wireless charging, then device complexity is reduced, but the ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
