Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless power transfer systems lack a standardized method for negotiating support for fast Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) between wireless power transmitters and receivers, leading to potential communication mismatches and inefficiencies in power transfer.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for transmitting information about support for fast FSK from a wireless power transmitter to a receiver, and receiving a Specific Request (SRQ) packet for fast FSK, allowing for stable confirmation of FSK support and high-speed communication in the power transfer phase.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If wireless power transfer systems use conventional communication methods without standardized fast FSK negotiation, then device compatibility is maintained, but communication speed and power transfer efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower transfer efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication protocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary negotiation of fast FSK support during the configuration phase before power transfer begins. The transmitter sends a capability packet indicating fast FSK support, and the receiver responds with an SRQ packet to request fast FSK mode. This advance negotiation ensures both devices are prepared for high-speed communication before actual power transfer, resolving the contradiction by establishing efficiency-enhancing protocols in advance without adding operational complexity during power transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If wireless power transfer systems implement fast FSK communication without standardized negotiation, then communication speed increases, but communication stability and compatibility decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidcommunication stability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback-based negotiation mechanism where the transmitter first indicates its fast FSK capability in a capability packet, the receiver responds with an SRQ packet to request fast FSK mode, and the transmitter confirms support. This bidirectional feedback ensures both devices agree on fast FSK usage before high-speed communication begins, maintaining reliability while enabling speed improvement. The standardized packet exchange protocol ensures compatibility across different devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If wireless power transfer systems use standardized fast FSK negotiation protocols, then communication compatibility improves, but negotiation process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidnegotiation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the negotiation process into distinct, manageable phases: capability indication during configuration, SRQ packet exchange for fast FSK request, and confirmation during power transfer. Each phase uses specific standardized packets with defined formats and meanings. This segmentation makes the negotiation process systematic and easier to implement while ensuring broad device compatibility through standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Productivity

If wireless power transfer systems implement fast FSK without capability indication, then communication efficiency improves, but device compatibility and stable operation decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent requires preliminary capability indication through standardized capability packets exchanged during the configuration phase. The transmitter indicates fast FSK support capability before power transfer begins, allowing the receiver to determine whether to request fast FSK mode via SRQ packet. This preliminary capability advertisement ensures compatibility by allowing devices to assess mutual support before attempting fast communication, while still enabling efficient operation when both devices support fast FSK.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
