Electronic Device Interface Boot Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face delays in identifying connected devices during booting, as conventional methods require full booting completion before function extension can be established, leading to inefficiencies in recognizing compatible devices for function extension.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is equipped with a first interface for rapid acquisition of device information and a second interface for communication with the processor of another device, allowing for early identification and communication to determine device compatibility during booting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If identification is performed after booting is completed, then device compatibility can be accurately checked, but time is significantly delayed until function extension becomes available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by acquiring device information through the first interface during the booting process itself, rather than waiting for booting to complete. The processor obtains device information storage device details and communicates with the other electronic device's processor through the second interface before the operating system is fully loaded, thereby reducing the time delay while maintaining identification accuracy through systematic verification steps.
2Speed
If device information is acquired through the first interface during booting, then identification speed is improved, but the complexity of interface management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the device identification process into two distinct interface operations: the first interface is used specifically for acquiring device information storage device details during booting, while the second interface is dedicated to communicating with the other electronic device's processor. This segmentation allows each interface to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall identification speed while managing complexity through clear interface division rather than requiring a single complex interface to handle all tasks.
3Device complexity
If a single interface is used for device identification, then the system is simpler, but identification cannot be completed during the booting process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by having the processor manage multiple interfaces (first interface for device information acquisition, second interface for processor communication) that can be activated based on system needs. During booting, both interfaces serve the universal goal of rapid device identification, with the first interface handling initial device information retrieval and the second interface providing additional verification and communication capabilities, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining manageable system complexity through unified processor control.
