An AI-powered method that collects and analyzes application operation data to predict usage patterns and restrict background activities of applications, classifying them based on usage frequency and implementing corresponding power-saving measures, such as freezing or upgrading applications, to optimize CPU, DDR, and GPU frequencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If applications run in the background to provide services, then user experience is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the background application restriction policy adaptive rather than static. The AI model dynamically adjusts restriction levels based on predicted user behavior patterns, learning from historical data to determine when background activities should be allowed or restricted. This enables the system to optimize power consumption while maintaining user experience according to actual usage scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service through autonomous AI-driven decision making. The AI model automatically analyzes operation data, predicts user behavior, and determines restriction policies without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously optimizing its own power management strategy based on learned patterns, reducing the need for user configuration while achieving personalized power saving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Use of energy by moving object

If AI analysis is performed on operation data to predict usage patterns, then power consumption optimization is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex AI analysis system into distinct functional modules: data collection module, AI analysis module, and policy execution module. Each module has a specific responsibility - collecting operation data, analyzing patterns and predicting usage, and executing restriction policies respectively. This modular architecture reduces system complexity by making each component independent and manageable while maintaining the overall optimization capability.
