Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices with dual operating systems display significant discrepancies in battery power level information due to different calculation methods, leading to abrupt changes when switching between systems.

Innovation Solution

Implement a power level display method where both operating systems synchronize power level information through a shared power level measurement component, ensuring consistent display by acquiring and updating power level information in both systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different operating systems use their own power level calculation methods, then each operating system can independently calculate power level information, but significant differences and abrupt changes occur when switching between systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent power level calculation capabilityVSAvoidpower level information consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the power level measurement functionality into a shared measurement component that is commonly accessed by both the first operating system and the second operating system. This shared component ensures that both operating systems obtain consistent power level information from the same measurement source, eliminating the discrepancies that arise when each system uses its own independent calculation method.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Stability of the object's composition

If a shared power level measurement component is used by both operating systems, then power level information consistency is improved, but the complexity of system architecture increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower level information consistencyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a shared power level measurement component as an intermediary between the battery and the operating systems. This intermediary component centralizes the power level measurement function and provides standardized interfaces for both operating systems to access the same data, thereby ensuring consistency without requiring deep integration or complex coordination between the systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Provided are a power level display method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. 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.
