Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In power saving mode, electronic devices limit user access to desired applications, making it inconvenient for users to utilize necessary services due to preset application restrictions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method that provides a first graphical user interface with multiple applications in a normal mode and switches to a second mode with allowed applications based on usage history, allowing users to add or remove applications dynamically based on conditions such as battery state or user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If power saving mode is implemented with preset application restrictions, then battery consumption is reduced, but user convenience deteriorates due to limited access to desired applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the graphical user interface by adding or removing application icons based on real-time conditions. The processor determines whether to add a graphical element corresponding to a desired application when specific conditions are met (such as battery charge level thresholds or usage patterns), allowing the interface to adapt between power-saving mode and user-convenience mode dynamically
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters of the graphical user interface configuration based on detected conditions. When a condition is satisfied (e.g., battery charge level reaches a threshold or user interaction patterns indicate need), the system modifies the set of available applications by adding or removing graphical elements, thereby adjusting the balance between power saving and user convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If preset applications are provided regardless of device situation in power saving mode, then application availability is maintained, but user convenience deteriorates due to irrelevant applications being forced upon users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different sets of applications based on specific conditions and user needs. Rather than uniformly providing the same preset applications in all power-saving scenarios, the system tailors the application selection to local conditions such as battery charge level, usage history, and user interaction patterns, thereby improving user convenience while maintaining adaptability
3Ease of operation
If dynamic addition of graphical elements is implemented based on conditions, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional processing logic
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting conditions and making decisions about which applications to add or remove without requiring complex user input or manual configuration. The processor monitors conditions such as battery charge level and usage patterns, and autonomously adjusts the graphical interface accordingly, reducing the need for complex user interaction while maintaining simplicity
