1Reliability

If a single modulation circuit is used in the wireless power transmission receiver, then the device complexity is reduced, but the communication bit error rate increases at different power states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication bit error rateVSAvoidmodulation circuit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The modulation circuit is segmented into multiple independent modulation sub-circuits (first modulation sub-circuit, second modulation sub-circuit, etc.), each capable of operating at different power levels. This segmentation allows the system to select the appropriate sub-circuit based on the current power state, thereby maintaining reliable communication across varying power conditions without requiring a single complex adaptive circuit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects which modulation sub-circuit to activate based on the detected power level. The controller determines the current power level and activates the corresponding modulation sub-circuit, creating a dynamic adaptation mechanism that optimizes communication reliability for each operating condition without permanently increasing the complexity of the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If multiple modulation sub-circuits are added to handle different power levels, then communication reliability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliability at different power levelsVSAvoidmodulation circuit components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each modulation sub-circuit is designed to handle a specific power level range, making them universally applicable to different operating conditions. The controller selects the appropriate sub-circuit based on power level, allowing the system to maintain communication reliability across all power states while using simple, dedicated circuits rather than a single complex adaptive circuit.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the operational parameters by selecting different modulation sub-circuits based on the detected power level. Each sub-circuit is optimized for specific power level parameters, allowing the system to adapt to varying power conditions by changing which circuit is active rather than changing the circuit structure itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If the modulation mode is fixed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the communication accuracy deteriorates at varying power levels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication accuracyVSAvoidmodulation mode selection mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a feedback mechanism where the controller continuously detects the current power level and uses this information to select the appropriate modulation sub-circuit. This feedback loop ensures that the communication accuracy is maintained at varying power levels by always using the modulation sub-circuit optimized for the current operating condition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple modulation sub-circuits are pre-configured to handle different power levels before operation begins. When the system starts, the controller detects the power level and immediately activates the corresponding pre-configured sub-circuit, eliminating the need for real-time modulation mode changes and ensuring communication accuracy from the start.
