Hybrid System Data Channel Selection for Power and Flexibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hybrid computer systems lack flexibility in data interaction between sub-systems, particularly when one sub-system is in a standby state, requiring inefficient wake-up processes for synchronization, which increases power consumption.
Innovation Solution
A communication method that selects between multiple data channels based on channel selection parameters such as state and data amount, allowing for real-time data transmission using either one or two channels, optimizing power usage and transmission efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the background sub-system is kept in standby state to save power, then power consumption is reduced, but data interaction flexibility deteriorates because the sub-system must be woken up for synchronization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data channel into two independent channels: a first data channel that can be activated on demand for flexible data interaction, and a second data channel that remains permanently active for maintaining synchronization capability. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both low power consumption (by keeping only essential functions active) and high flexibility (by having dedicated channels for different purposes).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic channel selection where the system can adaptively choose between the first and second data channels based on real-time requirements. The first channel is dynamically activated when data interaction is needed, while the second channel provides a persistent backup path, enabling the system to optimize between power savings and interaction flexibility dynamically.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the first data channel is activated for data transmission, then data interaction flexibility is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between the first data channel (activated on demand for high flexibility) and the second data channel (permanently active for baseline functionality) based on real-time needs. This dynamic channel selection allows the system to activate the power-intensive first channel only when necessary, thereby achieving high data interaction flexibility while minimizing overall power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of the data channels by creating two distinct modes: the first channel operates in an on-demand activation mode with high flexibility but higher power consumption, while the second channel operates in a permanently active mode with lower flexibility requirements but lower power consumption. The system adjusts which channel is used based on the specific data interaction requirements.
3Device complexity
If a single data channel is used for all data transmission, then device complexity is reduced, but transmission efficiency deteriorates when dealing with different data amounts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission functionality into two specialized channels: the first data channel optimized for scenarios requiring high interaction flexibility (such as when the background sub-system is in standby), and the second data channel optimized for continuous operation scenarios. This segmentation allows each channel to be optimized for specific transmission efficiency requirements while maintaining relatively simple individual channel structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data transmission system that can handle different data amounts and interaction scenarios by selecting between two channels. The first channel serves universal needs for flexible interaction, while the second channel serves universal needs for continuous operation, together providing comprehensive coverage for various data transmission efficiency requirements without requiring a single complex multi-functional channel.
