Electronic Device State Adjustment via Environmental Signal Lookup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices require manual adjustment of execution states based on environmental conditions, such as time and location, which is inconvenient and requires user intervention for setting and changing parameters.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a detecting unit and processing unit that automatically adjusts its execution state by comparing current environmental conditions with a state look-up table, allowing for automatic switching between predetermined states based on recorded environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual adjustment of execution state is implemented, then user control over device states is improved, but user convenience and operation simplicity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically detects environmental conditions (time, location) and adjusts its execution state without requiring user intervention. The device serves itself by comparing current environmental signals with stored look-up tables and autonomously switching between predetermined states, eliminating the need for manual user operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors environmental conditions through detecting units, compares current states with predetermined states stored in look-up tables, and automatically adjusts execution states based on this feedback loop. This closed-loop control enables automatic adaptation to changing environmental conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If presetting of execution states is implemented, then device can operate at specific periods, but user needs to repeatedly adjust settings when parameters change
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple execution states and their corresponding environmental conditions (time, location) in look-up tables during device setup or initialization. When the device operates, it automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate predetermined state based on current environmental conditions, eliminating the need for real-time user configuration adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The execution state of the device is made dynamic and automatically adjustable based on changing environmental conditions. The system continuously monitors environmental parameters and automatically transitions between different predetermined states, allowing the device to adapt dynamically without requiring user intervention when settings need to change.
3Extent of automation
If automatic detection of environmental conditions is implemented, then device can automatically adjust states, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detecting unit is designed to monitor multiple environmental parameters (time, location, and potentially other conditions) using a single integrated component or module. The processing unit handles multiple functions including signal reception, comparison with look-up tables, and state adjustment control, reducing overall system complexity through multi-functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Complex processing logic is moved to the preliminary setup phase where look-up tables containing predetermined states and environmental conditions are created and stored. During actual operation, the device only needs to perform simple look-up and comparison operations, significantly reducing the complexity of real-time processing while maintaining automatic adjustment capability.

AI summary
An electronic device comprises a detecting unit and a processing unit, comprising. The method of adjusting execution state of electronic device comprises: a current environmental condition is detected through the detecting unit to generate a current environmental signal and the current environmental signal is transmitted to the processing unit. A current execution state of the electronic device is read through the processing unit. A step of comparing with a state look-up table of the electronic device is performed to allow the current environmental signal to correspond to a predetermined environmental condition in the state look-up table of the electronic device. It determines whether the current execution state of the electronic device conforms to a predetermined execution state of the predetermined environmental condition. If not, the current execution state of the electronic device is adjusted to allow the current execution state to be the same with the predetermined execution state.
