Solution Overview

Problem

Modern telecommunications devices face power consumption issues due to their advanced capabilities, leading to usability problems such as low battery warnings and non-functional devices, as they often employ energy-intensive protocols for voice and data communications.

Innovation Solution

The system allows telecommunications devices to selectively choose between push and poll notification channels to manage energy consumption by calculating energy efficiency indicators and switching between push notification service servers and cloud-based storage systems for multimedia and notification data delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If advanced communication protocols and features are implemented in telecommunications devices, then communication capabilities and functionality are improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capabilitiesVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The notification service dynamically switches between push and poll delivery modes based on real-time energy efficiency calculations. The system monitors battery levels and network conditions, then adaptively selects the optimal delivery mechanism to maintain communication functionality while minimizing power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters by calculating energy efficiency indicators for different notification delivery modes and switching between push notification service servers and cloud-based storage systems based on these calculations, thereby optimizing power consumption while maintaining communication capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If push notification service is used continuously, then notification delivery speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification delivery speedVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The notification service transitions from a static push-only model to a dynamic system that switches between push and poll modes. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to use fast push delivery when energy is available and switch to more energy-efficient poll delivery when battery levels are low, thereby optimizing both speed and power consumption based on current conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements periodic energy efficiency calculations and mode switching, where the notification service periodically evaluates whether to use push or poll delivery based on current energy conditions, rather than continuously using one mode. This periodic reassessment optimizes the balance between delivery speed and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Adaptability or versatility

If sophisticated device features and applications are added, then device functionality is improved, but battery life decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice functionalityVSAvoidbattery life
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The energy efficiency optimization mechanism provides a dynamic adaptation layer that works with sophisticated device features and applications. By monitoring overall energy consumption patterns and switching notification delivery modes appropriately, the system extends battery life without requiring any changes to the device's core functionality or capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Techniques for energy efficient notification services are described. A telecommunications device may acquire multimedia/notification service data from various upstream units, e.g., one or more multimedia/notification service servers, at least one push notification service server and/or a storage system. The telecommunications device may select a communication channel between the telecommunications device and the various upstream units for acquiring multimedia/notification service data. The telecommunications device may select the communications channel based at least in part on efficiencies, e.g., it may select the most energy efficient communications channel. The telecommunications device may, in some instances, acquire the multimedia/notification service data as pushes from one or more upstream units (e.g., a push notification service server), and may, in some instances, acquire the multimedia/notification service data as pulls from one or more upstream units (e.g., one or more multimedia/notification service servers and/or a storage system).
