Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional power saving techniques in information processing systems face challenges in accurately determining whether to exit a power saving state due to the difficulty in anticipating various packet types in customer-operational environments, leading to unnecessary power consumption and increased operator workload in registering data patterns.
Innovation Solution
A data processing apparatus with a registering unit, receiving unit, determining unit, analyzing unit, displaying unit, and indicating unit is implemented to analyze network packets and display results, allowing for easier maintenance of a power saving state by registering and managing packet patterns through a user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If data patterns are previously registered in the device for substitute response, then power consumption is reduced, but the device may return from power saving state unnecessarily when packet types vary in customer operational environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing and analyzing packets during a learning period before the power saving technique is activated. The analyzed packet data is stored and used to automatically generate data patterns for substitute response, enabling the system to maintain power saving state accurately without requiring manual pattern registration or risking unnecessary wake-ups due to unanticipated packet types
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by monitoring packet traffic during the learning period, analyzing the captured packets to identify patterns, and using this information to automatically configure data patterns for substitute response. This feedback loop ensures that the power saving state is maintained accurately according to the actual operational environment of the customer's device
2Reliability
If all possible data patterns are registered in advance, then substitute response accuracy improves, but device resources are excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of registering all possible data patterns (excessive action), the system performs partial action by capturing and analyzing only the packets that actually flow in the customer's operational environment during a learning period. This generates a minimal set of data patterns that are sufficient for accurate substitute response while conserving device resources
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of data pattern registration from a static, comprehensive approach to a dynamic, adaptive approach. By monitoring packet traffic characteristics during the learning period and adjusting the data patterns accordingly, the system achieves high substitute response accuracy while using only the necessary amount of device resources
3Adaptability or versatility
If data patterns are changed according to packet kinds by user operation, then adaptability improves, but operator workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing packets during the learning period, analyzing the packet data to identify patterns, and generating data patterns for substitute response without requiring operator intervention. This eliminates the need for operators to manually register or configure data patterns, significantly reducing operator workload while maintaining high adaptability to the customer's operational environment
