Battery Level Display Synchronization Across Dual Operating Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with dual operating systems display significant discrepancies in battery power level information due to differences in power level calculation methods or components, leading to abrupt changes when switching between systems.
Innovation Solution
Implement a power level display method where both operating systems acquire power level information from a shared power level measurement component, synchronizing and updating this information to ensure consistency across systems, using a control switch to manage connections and calibrations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different operating systems use separate power level calculation methods or components, then each operating system can independently calculate power level, but significant discrepancies and abrupt changes occur when switching between systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power level measurement functionality into a single shared measurement component that serves both operating systems. Instead of each operating system having its own separate power level calculation method or component, the invention combines them into one unified measurement system that provides consistent power level information to both systems, thereby eliminating discrepancies and abrupt changes during switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a shared power level measurement component as an intermediary between the battery and the operating systems. This intermediary component acts as a single source of truth that provides standardized power level information to both operating systems, mediating the interaction between the battery and different OSs to ensure consistency and reliability across system switches.
2Reliability
If a shared power level measurement component is used by both operating systems, then power level information consistency is improved, but the complexity of managing connections and updates between systems increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements the shared power level measurement component with universal functionality that serves both operating systems. The component is designed to be multi-functional, providing power level information to any active operating system without requiring separate specialized interfaces or complex management mechanisms for each system, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The shared power level measurement component operates autonomously to manage its own connections and updates. It automatically detects which operating system is active and provides power level information accordingly, without requiring complex manual configuration or intensive management overhead. The component self-regulates its interactions with different operating systems, simplifying the overall system architecture.

AI summary
A power level display method and apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a product. In the method, an electronic device obtains power level information of a battery of the electronic device through a power level measurement component. When a first operating system runs in foreground of the electronic device, the first operating system acquires, from the power level measurement component, the power level information of the battery as first power level information, and the first power level information is displayed in the first operating system. In response to a system switching instruction, a second operating system runs in the foreground of the electronic device, and second power level information is displayed in the second operating system. The second power level information is acquired based on updated power level information of the battery obtained by the power level measurement component. Since the power level information displayed in the first operating system and the power level information displayed in the second operating system are both obtained through the same power level measurement component, there would be no significant difference in the power level information displayed in the two systems at the time of switching between the systems.
