Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual data copying between devices is used, then data can be transferred between devices with different performance levels, but operational complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the notebook computer and high-performance device into a single integrated system through component sharing. The high-performance device's components (GPU, hard disk, etc.) are shared with the notebook computer, allowing the notebook to access and utilize these components directly without manual data copying. This integration eliminates the need for separate manual transfer operations while maintaining the ability to process data across devices with different performance levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the notebook computer to perform functions that were previously exclusive to high-performance devices. Through component sharing mechanisms, the notebook can access and utilize high-performance components for various tasks such as graphic processing, data storage, and computation, thereby expanding its functional capabilities without requiring physical hardware changes or manual data transfer procedures.
2Productivity
If component sharing is implemented between devices, then performance can be expanded without manual data copying, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic component sharing where the system automatically adjusts which components are shared based on real-time power consumption levels and processing needs. When power consumption is within acceptable limits, component sharing is activated to maximize processing efficiency. When power consumption exceeds thresholds, the system dynamically switches to independent operation modes, ensuring that high-performance components are only accessed when power availability justifies the increased energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes operational parameters based on power consumption conditions. The system monitors power usage and adjusts sharing parameters such as data transfer rates, component access priorities, and sharing activation status. By dynamically modifying these parameters according to power availability and consumption patterns, the system optimizes the balance between processing efficiency and energy consumption, enabling high-performance operations when power is available and conserving energy when power constraints are present.
