Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic devices' performance boosting functions operate inefficiently due to lack of consideration for remaining battery life and unnecessary resource utilization, leading to inconsistent application loading times and potential performance deterioration.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that identifies boosting levels based on application loading times, updates boosting information, and adjusts processor operation frequency using state information such as battery life, processor usage, and heat emission to optimize performance without unnecessary resource consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If performance boosting is activated to improve application loading speed, then loading time is reduced, but battery consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication loading timeVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the boosting level based on real-time conditions including application loading time requirements and battery state. The processor transitions between different boosting levels (first, second, third levels) depending on whether loading time exceeds a threshold and battery charge level, making the performance enhancement adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters by adjusting the boosting level according to battery charge level and loading time measurements. When battery charge is sufficient and loading time exceeds threshold, higher boosting levels are applied; when battery is low, boosting is reduced or eliminated, thereby optimizing the trade-off between performance and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If boosting level is increased to reduce loading time, then application execution speed improves, but device heat emission increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication execution speedVSAvoiddevice heat emission
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects among multiple boosting levels (first, second, third levels with increasing intensity) based on real-time conditions. The processor monitors loading time and adjusts the boosting level accordingly, transitioning from no boosting to partial boosting to full boosting as needed, thereby controlling heat generation while maintaining execution speed when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If performance boosting is applied to improve loading speed, then application responsiveness improves, but unnecessary resource consumption occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication loading efficiencyVSAvoidunnecessary power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial boosting (first or second levels) only when necessary, rather than always applying maximum boosting. The processor determines whether to apply boosting based on whether loading time exceeds a threshold, and if so, selects the appropriate boosting level based on battery state, thereby avoiding unnecessary resource consumption while still improving loading efficiency when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from loading time measurements and battery state monitoring to adjust boosting level. The processor measures actual loading time, compares it against thresholds, and adjusts the boosting level for subsequent executions, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes performance while minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
