Electronic Component State Switching Without Restart Delays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for switching an electronic device component, such as memory, from a normal to an overclocking state require user intervention multiple times, including saving data, restarting the system, and configuring settings, taking a minimum of 1 minute and increasing with usage time.
Innovation Solution
A control method that allows switching an electronic device component from one operation state to another by a single control instruction, without restarting, using hot keys or configuration interfaces to update parameters, reducing the time required for state switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electronic device is restarted during operation state switching, then the parameter update is reliable, but the switching time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by saving the current operation state and its parameters before switching occurs. The system stores the first operation state parameters in memory before transitioning to the second operation state, enabling rapid parameter restoration without requiring a full system restart. This pre-savestheta state information allows the switching process to bypass time-consuming initialization sequences while maintaining parameter integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the operation state parameters from the complete system state, isolating only the necessary configuration data that needs to be preserved during switching. By separating the critical parameters (frequency, voltage, timing settings) from the entire system state, the invention enables targeted parameter updates without requiring a full system restart, thus reducing switching time while maintaining reliability.
2Ease of operation
If manual operations are required for state switching, then the user can control the process, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically manage the state switching process once the user initiates it. The controller automatically saves the current operation state, updates parameters, and restores necessary configurations without requiring manual user intervention at each step. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining their ability to trigger and monitor the switching process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple discrete manual operations into a single integrated switching process. Instead of requiring separate user actions for saving data, updating parameters, and restoring configurations, the invention combines these operations into one automated sequence triggered by a single user command. This consolidation simplifies the user interface while preserving full control capability.
3Reliability
If the system is restarted for state switching, then parameter updates are complete, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-saving operation state parameters in memory before the switching process begins. This allows the system to quickly restore necessary configurations during state transitions without performing time-consuming initialization operations, thereby maintaining parameter update completeness while significantly improving switching efficiency and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent maintains continuity of useful action by keeping the system operational throughout the state switching process. Instead of stopping system operations for a full restart, the invention enables parameter updates and state transitions to occur while the system remains functional, ensuring continuous productivity while achieving complete parameter updates.

AI summary
A control method includes obtaining a control instruction, and in response to an electronic device being in a first state, triggering the electronic device to switch from the first state to a second state, and updating a parameter of a target member from a corresponding parameter in a first operation state to a corresponding parameter in a second operation state during switching the electronic device from the first state to the second state. The control instruction is configured to instruct to switch the target member of the electronic device from the first operation state to the second operation state. A frequency of the target member in the first operation state is different from a frequency of the target member in the second operation state. A power consumption of the electronic device in the first state is lower than a power consumption of the electronic device in the second state.
