Avatar Process for Mobile Devices Conserving Energy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices with limited resources face challenges in performing large communication and processing tasks, maintaining connections as users move or turn off their devices, and ensuring secure message transmission in mobile networks.
Innovation Solution
The Avatar application process, located at a base station or cloud, performs computationally expensive services like monitoring, processing, backup, and data transmission on behalf of the user, using secure coding and encryption techniques, and dynamically adjusts to the user's location and status, even when the device is offline.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If computationally expensive services are performed on the mobile device, then processing capability is improved, but device energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts computationally expensive services from the mobile device and relocates them to server infrastructure. The virtual machine environment on the server handles monitoring, processing, backup, and data transmission tasks that would otherwise consume significant device energy, while the device maintains a lightweight client for interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual machine environment as an intermediary between the mobile device and the services. This virtual machine layer abstracts the computational workload from the device, allowing expensive operations to be performed on the server while presenting a familiar interface to the user on the mobile device.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the user device is turned off to conserve energy, then energy consumption is reduced, but connection maintenance becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the user's presence and communication state on the server. When the device is turned off, the virtual machine environment maintains the user's connection state, allowing messages and notifications to be received and processed on behalf of the user, with automatic forwarding when the device is reactivated.
3Adaptability or versatility
If location-based services are implemented, then service adaptability is improved, but network communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs location-based service adaptations in advance through the virtual machine environment. The system pre-processes location information and prepares service configurations before the user actually needs them, reducing the need for frequent real-time communication and minimizing network overhead while maintaining high service adaptability.
