1Adaptability or versatility

If Bluetooth communication is used for out-of-band communication between wireless power transmitter and receiver, then communication flexibility and device compatibility are improved, but communication stability and power transfer reliability deteriorate due to lack of standardized protocols

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidpower transfer reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by defining specific Bluetooth packet structures and communication protocols that standardize the exchange of power control parameters, device capability information, and status data. This standardization transforms the variable and unreliable Bluetooth communication into a stable channel by establishing fixed parameter formats, timing sequences, and error handling mechanisms, thereby resolving the contradiction between flexibility and reliability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the communication functions into distinct modules: in-band communication handles power control and real-time status exchange, while Bluetooth communication manages device pairing, capability negotiation, and configuration. This functional segmentation allows each communication channel to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture by clearly defining the role and protocol of each channel, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining robustness.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a standardized Bluetooth communication protocol that can be universally applied across different wireless power transmission and reception devices. The protocol defines common data structures, message formats, and interaction sequences that work across various device types and manufacturers. This universal standardization reduces implementation complexity by providing a ready-to-use framework that developers can adopt without creating device-specific protocols, thereby improving ease of manufacture while ensuring power transfer stability.
