Electronic Device Mode Control to Avoid Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As the number of electronic devices increases, they often interfere with each other when in improper working modes, degrading user experience by causing unwanted signals such as loud sounds or disturbances, especially when devices are used simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that detect a starting operation on a controlled electronic device, determine a target device within a preset distance, and adjust its working mode to avoid interference by matching it with a second preset working mode if it matches a first preset working mode of the target device, thereby reducing interference from the controlled device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electronic devices are used simultaneously, then device functionality and user convenience are improved, but interference between devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the target device's working mode before the controlled device operates, and proactively adjusts the controlled device's working mode in advance to avoid interference. This is implemented by detecting the target device's mode through communication protocols and pre-adjusting the controlled device accordingly, rather than reacting after interference occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the controlled device continuously monitors the target device's working mode and adjusts its own operations accordingly. The controlled device receives feedback information about the target device's state and modifies its behavior to prevent interference, creating a closed-loop control system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the controlled device operates in all working modes, then operational flexibility is improved, but interference with target device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controlled device dynamically adjusts its working mode based on real-time detection of the target device's state. Instead of operating in a fixed mode, the system transitions between different working modes (e.g., silent mode, normal mode) according to the detected target device mode, making the interference characteristic dynamic and adaptive.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters of the controlled device such as volume level, notification frequency, and processing priority based on the target device's working mode. When the target device is in a sensitive mode, the controlled device adjusts its parameters to reduce output intensity and prevent interference.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If working mode detection and adjustment is implemented, then interference reduction is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection and adjustment mechanism is implemented as a universal system that can identify and respond to multiple target device modes through a single integrated framework. The same core mechanism handles different device types and modes by using configurable detection protocols and response rules, avoiding the need for separate specialized systems for each device type.

AI summary
A method for controlling an electronic device includes: responsive to that a starting operation over a controlled electronic device is detected, a target electronic device at a distance that is within a preset distance away from the controlled electronic device is determined; a working mode of the target electronic device is determined; and responsive to that the working mode of the target electronic device is matched with a first preset working mode, a working mode of the controlled electronic device is adjusted to a second preset working mode to avoid interference from the controlled electronic device to use of the target electronic device.
