Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing number of electronic devices on bicycles leads to higher electricity consumption and increased workload for components controlling these devices, necessitating a solution to manage energy efficiently and reduce workload.
Innovation Solution
An electronic power control assembly with a sensing unit, timing units, and control units that determine the bicycle's motion state to selectively supply power to the control module, allowing devices to enter low voltage or sleep modes to conserve energy, and automatically resume operation when needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the control module continuously operates to control electronic devices, then the electronic devices can respond quickly to user operations, but the electricity consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power management by switching the control module between awake and sleep modes based on bicycle motion state. The sensing unit detects whether the bicycle is moving, and the control module adjusts its operational state accordingly - remaining awake during motion for quick response, and entering sleep mode during stationary periods to conserve energy.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the control module enters sleep mode to save power, then the electricity consumption decreases, but the response time to wake up increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the sensing unit to detect bicycle motion state in advance, allowing the control module to proactively transition between sleep and awake modes before user operations occur. This preliminary detection ensures the control module is already awake and ready to respond quickly when the bicycle is in motion, eliminating wake-up delays during actual use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electronic devices are mounted on the bicycle, then the functionality increases, but the electricity consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal power control mechanism that manages multiple electronic devices through a single control module. This centralized control allows the system to coordinate power distribution across various devices (display, sensors, actuators), enabling them to share resources and enter low-power states collectively when not in use, thus reducing total power consumption while maintaining full functionality.

AI summary
An electronic power control assembly for a bicycle electronic device, a system having the same, and a control method thereof are disclosed. The electronic power control assembly is adapted to be electrically connected to a power source and a control module for controlling at least one electronic device on a bicycle to operate and includes a sensing unit for sensing a motion state of the bicycle, a first timing unit adapted to count a first predetermined time period, and a first control unit. When the sensing unit senses that the bicycle is in a moving state, the first control unit controls the first timing unit to recount and controls the power source to supply electricity to the control module. When the first timing unit finishes counting the first predetermined time period, the first control unit controls the power source to stop supplying electricity to the control module.
