Solution Overview
Problem
It is difficult to operate the power-on/off button of electronic devices in complicated scenarios, and existing methods require single clicking to wake up the device from a low power consumption state, which is not suitable for all usage modes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic device that determine which sensor units to operate based on the current usage mode, allowing for alternative wake-up instructions such as successive tappings or touch operations, to switch from a low power consumption state to a normal operation state, tailored to the specific usage mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single-click power-on/off button operation is used to wake up the electronic device from sleep state, then the device can be reliably restored to operation state, but it becomes difficult to operate in complicated scenarios where the power button is inaccessible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling multiple wake-up input methods (power button click, touchscreen gestures, vibration motor patterns) to serve the same function of waking up the device from sleep state. This allows the system to adapt to different usage scenarios where certain input methods may be more accessible than others, resolving the contradiction between reliable restoration and operational ease in complicated scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of wake-up input type based on usage mode. Different input methods are activated depending on the current usage scenario (e.g., touchscreen gestures for tablet mode, vibration patterns for handheld mode), allowing the system to optimize ease of operation for each specific context while maintaining reliable device restoration.
2Loss of energy
If all sensor units are deactivated in low power consumption state, then power consumption is minimized, but the device cannot respond to wake-up inputs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sensor units into different groups based on their wake-up capabilities and activates only the necessary segments for each usage mode. For example, in tablet mode, touchscreen sensors are activated while vibration sensors remain deactivated, optimizing power consumption while maintaining wake-up capability through appropriate input channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts which sensor units remain active during low power consumption state based on the current usage mode. The system transitions between different sensor activation configurations, keeping minimal necessary sensors active to enable wake-up while minimizing overall power consumption, thus resolving the contradiction between energy savings and wake-up reliability.
3Ease of operation
If multiple sensor units remain active in low power consumption state to enable alternative wake-up inputs, then wake-up capability is maintained in complicated scenarios, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selectively activating specific sensor units based on the current usage mode and scenario requirements. Instead of uniformly activating all sensors or deactivating all sensors, the system activates only the locally appropriate sensors for each usage context, optimizing the balance between wake-up capability and power consumption for each specific situation.
