Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power saving settings in information processing apparatuses face a decrease in effectiveness when changed from a default setting to another setting, leading to suboptimal energy efficiency and user convenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that dynamically adjusts power saving settings based on usage status, allowing for stepwise transitions between operating, standby, and power saving modes, optimizing transition times to balance energy savings and user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the power saving setting is changed from a default setting to another setting, then the power saving effect decreases, but the user convenience increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of power saving settings based on actual usage status. The system automatically transitions from static default settings to adaptive settings that respond to usage patterns, thereby maintaining high power saving effects while preserving user convenience through automated optimization rather than manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors usage status and feeds this information back to automatically adjust power saving settings. By implementing a feedback mechanism that tracks actual device usage patterns, the system can optimize power saving effects dynamically without requiring users to manually change settings, thus resolving the contradiction between energy efficiency and user convenience.
2Loss of energy
If the transition time to power saving mode is shortened to improve energy saving, then the power saving effect increases, but the response time when resuming operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts transition times based on monitored usage patterns. Instead of using fixed transition times, the system adapts the timing parameters according to actual usage status, allowing optimization of both energy saving effects and response times by selecting appropriate transition durations based on observed usage behavior.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters (transition times) based on usage status analysis. By modifying time parameters dynamically according to monitored usage patterns, the system achieves optimal balance between energy saving effects and operational response times without being constrained by fixed parameter values.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to change a power saving setting of an apparatus to a third setting in which a power saving effect is higher than in a second setting based on a usage status of the apparatus in a case where the power saving setting of the apparatus is changed from a first setting to the second setting, in which the first setting is a default setting of the apparatus, and the second setting is different from the third setting.
