Content Delivery Policy Based on Battery Usage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices face battery drain issues due to power-intensive content rendering, with existing technologies failing to effectively manage content delivery based on battery usage, leading to undesirable battery drainage.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that determine the relationship between content items and battery usage, using this information to inform a policy for selecting and generating content items, which includes transmitting battery usage scripts to client devices to measure power consumption and aggregate data to restrict or modify content delivery based on predetermined thresholds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content items are delivered to mobile devices, then user experience and content availability are improved, but battery consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of content delivery by selecting and generating content items based on battery usage data. When battery levels are low, the system modifies content delivery parameters to prioritize lower-power content types, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining adaptability to user needs
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by collecting battery usage data from mobile devices and using this information to inform content selection policies. The feedback loop continuously monitors battery consumption patterns and adjusts content delivery strategies accordingly, preventing excessive battery drain
2Reliability
If power-intensive content is rendered on mobile devices, then content quality and user engagement are improved, but battery life decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes content rendering parameters based on battery status. By analyzing battery usage associated with different content types, the system adjusts content delivery parameters to maintain acceptable quality while preventing excessive battery consumption that would reduce battery life
Solution Approach 2:
The system makes content delivery dynamic by continuously monitoring battery usage and adjusting content selection in real-time. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize between content quality and battery life based on current device state, rather than using static content delivery rules
3Duration of action of stationary object
If battery usage monitoring and content selection policies are implemented, then battery life is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically collecting battery usage data, analyzing consumption patterns, and adjusting content delivery policies without requiring manual user intervention. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining sophisticated battery management capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses an intermediary approach by implementing a content selection policy layer that sits between the content delivery system and the mobile device. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of battery usage analysis and content selection, shielding users from the underlying system complexity while achieving battery life improvements

AI summary
Systems and methods for managing content to improve battery life of client devices. A data processing system receives requests for content items from client devices. The data processing system selects the content items from a set of content items and transmits the content items to the respective client devices. The client devices acquire battery status information related to the displaying or rendering of their respective content item. The data processing system receives the battery status information from the client devices and determines a power consumption value associated with the content items. Based on the power consumption value being greater than a threshold power consumption value, the data processing system modifies a policy for selecting the content items from the set of content items.
