Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless power transmission systems require constant monitoring to prevent network breakdowns due to potential failures such as power loss, hardware or software malfunctions, and overload, and do not allow for self-diagnosis or recommendations for system enhancement.
Innovation Solution
A self-system analysis method and system in a wireless power transmission network that uses multiple wireless power transmitter managers and receivers to detect failures, analyze issues, and generate recommendations for enhancement or correction, with a database storing past, present, and future data, and connectivity to a cloud for sharing and backup, enabling self-monitoring and alerting mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If constant monitoring is implemented to detect failures in the wireless power transmission system, then system reliability is improved, but device complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless power transmission system performs self-diagnosis by automatically detecting failures in transmitter managers and receivers without requiring external monitoring equipment. The system monitors its own operational status, power transmission quality, and component health, thereby improving reliability while avoiding the complexity of separate monitoring systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the transmitter manager and receiver continuously exchange status information and diagnostic data. This feedback loop enables real-time detection of failures and automatic adjustment of power transmission parameters, maintaining system reliability through internal self-regulation rather than external monitoring.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple wireless power transmitter managers and receivers are deployed to provide continuous power transmission, then system versatility and availability are improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring failures increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless power transmission system is divided into independent modular units (transmitter managers and receivers), each capable of autonomous failure detection. This segmentation allows each component to monitor its own status independently, making failure detection simpler and more reliable compared to a monolithic system where failures would be difficult to isolate and diagnose.
Solution Approach 2:
Each transmitter manager and receiver is pre-equipped with diagnostic capabilities and failure detection mechanisms. Rather than attempting to detect failures after they occur in a complex multi-component system, the preliminary integration of self-diagnosis functions in each module enables immediate and straightforward failure identification, reducing the overall difficulty of system-wide failure detection.
3Ease of repair
If self-diagnosis and automated analysis are implemented in the wireless power transmission system, then maintenance requirements are reduced, but the extent of automation and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless power transmission system performs self-diagnosis and automated failure analysis without requiring external intervention. The transmitter manager and receiver automatically detect failures, analyze the root causes, and generate diagnostic reports, thereby reducing maintenance requirements and simplifying repair processes while implementing practical automation that does not excessively increase system complexity.

AI summary
A system and method for a self-system analysis in a wireless power transmission network is disclosed. According to some aspects of this disclosure a wireless power transmission network may include one or more wireless power transmitter managers, one or more wireless power receivers, servers, and clouds within a local network to provide wireless power transfer to electronic devices. Wireless power devices in the network may establish, but is not limited to a WiFi connection to share information among all the wireless power devices in the system. Wireless power transmitter managers may monitor everything that happens in the network. If a problem is detected by the wireless power transmitter manager, an analysis of the issue may be done by any device in the network with a copy of the device database. Then a recommendation may be generated for enhancing the system.
