Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communications devices with active/standby backup systems face challenges in quickly transitioning from low power consumption modes to active states, leading to prolonged service delays and increased energy consumption due to the need for multiple parameter adjustments during startup.

Innovation Solution

A communications device control method that pre-stores a first parameter to quickly power on a transceiver, allowing it to enter a stable working state without multiple adjustments, thereby improving service processing efficiency and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by stationary object

If the transceiver is powered on without pre-stored parameters, then the device can enter low power consumption mode, but the transceiver requires multiple parameter adjustments during startup causing prolonged service delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidservice delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing the first parameter in the communications device before entering warm backup state. When the transceiver needs to be powered on, this pre-stored parameter is immediately used, eliminating the need for multiple parameter adjustments and reducing startup time while maintaining low power consumption mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Use of energy by stationary object

If the transceiver is powered on without pre-stored parameters, then energy consumption is reduced, but multiple parameter adjustments are needed causing increased service processing time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoidservice processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by stationary objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The first parameter is pre-stored in the communications device before entering warm backup state. This preliminary action ensures that when the transceiver is powered on, the parameter is already available, eliminating multiple adjustment cycles and improving service processing efficiency while maintaining low energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the transceiver is quickly powered on using pre-stored parameters, then service processing efficiency is improved, but the complexity of parameter management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice processing efficiencyVSAvoidparameter management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the parameter management complexity by separating the first parameter into a distinct pre-stored element. This extraction simplifies the power-on process to a single parameter retrieval and application, reducing the complexity of parameter management while maintaining high service processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A communications device control method comprises obtaining, by the communications device control apparatus, a first parameter in response to a trigger condition, and quickly controlling, by the communications device control apparatus using the first parameter, a transceiver to be powered on such that the first device exits the warm backup state and process service traffic that is received. The first parameter is a working parameter that is used to start the transceiver and that is pre-stored by the communications device control apparatus.
