Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information handling systems face inefficiencies in managing greenhouse gas emissions due to aging components and avoidable misuse, which are not effectively addressed by current technologies, impacting consumer purchasing decisions and operational efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A cloud-based CO2 emissions state transition prediction system that uses a feed-forward neural network to analyze operational telemetry and predict when a client information handling system will exceed non-eco-friendly emission thresholds due to inefficiencies, providing user notifications to prevent transitions to non-eco-friendly states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If information handling systems operate for extended periods, then productivity is maintained, but greenhouse gas emissions increase due to component aging and inefficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational continuityVSAvoidgreenhouse gas emissions
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of operational telemetry data to predict future inefficiency states before they occur. By identifying trends in power consumption, component performance degradation, and operational patterns, the system forecasts when emissions will exceed sustainability thresholds, enabling proactive intervention before harmful emissions increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors operational telemetry including power consumption, component temperature, and performance metrics. This feedback loop compares actual emissions against predicted emissions models, identifying deviations caused by component aging or inefficient operation, and triggers notifications to users to correct behaviors before sustainability thresholds are breached

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the system monitors and predicts emissions continuously, then emissions management precision improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemissions tracking accuracyVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary predictive modeling layer that processes complex emissions data without requiring direct modification of the information handling system hardware. The model acts as a mediator between raw operational telemetry and emissions predictions, using machine learning algorithms to translate complex patterns into simple sustainability threshold assessments and user-friendly notifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The emissions prediction system is segmented into distinct functional modules: data collection from operational telemetry, predictive modeling using historical patterns, threshold comparison logic, and notification generation. This modular architecture allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system complexity while maintaining high measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Object-generated harmful factors

If the system provides user notifications to prevent inefficient operation, then emissions reduction is achieved, but loss of time for user intervention occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemissions reductionVSAvoiduser response time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides notifications in advance of predicted emissions threshold breaches, giving users提前 time to correct inefficient operations. By forecasting future inefficiency states based on current trends, the system alerts users before harmful emissions occur, enabling proactive behavioral changes such as updating software, replacing components, or adjusting operational patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system takes preliminary anti-action by predicting and preventing inefficient operational states before they manifest as high emissions. The predictive model identifies trends indicating future inefficiency and triggers notifications that counteract the developing problematic patterns, stopping emissions increase before it occurs rather than reacting after the fact

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

AI summary

A carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions state transition prediction system executing on a unified endpoint management platform information handling system may comprise a network interface device to receive operational telemetry measurements for a first client device during routine monitoring intervals, including a determined CO2 emissions value, and a non-eco-friendly state transition threshold determined for the first client device, a hardware processor to predict, via a neural network modeling relationships between changes in CO2 emissions values over a most recent monitoring period and changes in user-adjustable operational telemetry measurements over a prior monitoring period, that a future determined CO2 emissions value for the first client information handling system determined based on operational telemetry measurements recorded during the current routine monitoring interval will exceed the non-eco-friendly state transition threshold value, and the network interface device to transmit an indication for user display that the first client device is predicted to reach a non-eco-friendly state.
