Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic hardware parameter adjustment based on application operating status. The system continuously monitors application behavior and dynamically changes hardware parameters (such as CPU frequency, memory allocation) to match the current workload requirements, transitioning from static to adaptive hardware configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a feedback mechanism where the system monitors application execution status and uses this information to adjust hardware parameters. The identification model analyzes application behavior patterns and provides feedback signals that trigger hardware parameter changes, creating a closed-loop control system for optimal performance.

Inventive Principle:
