Hybrid Portable Terminal Data Sharing via System State Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hybrid system architecture-based portable terminals with X86 systems experience increased power consumption and poor user experience due to interrupted data sharing when the system shuts down or faults during transmission.
Innovation Solution
A data sharing method where the first system transmits a file to a second terminal, and upon detecting a predetermined condition such as system inactivity or fault, the second system acquires upload information and continues the file transmission using a shared storage area, allowing seamless data transfer even if the first system is inactive or faulty.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data transmission is performed using only the X86 system, then the transmission capability is sufficient, but the power consumption increases and transmission may be interrupted when the system shuts down
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the operational state parameter of the systems by switching from single-system operation to dual-system operation with state monitoring. The X86 system transitions from continuous operation to conditional operation (only when needed), while the ARM system transitions from standby to active transmission mode when X86 enters inactive state, optimizing power consumption while maintaining transmission reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the ARM system ready to take over transmission tasks before the X86 system actually shuts down. The system monitors the X86 system's state in advance and prepares the ARM system to continue data transmission when the X86 system becomes inactive, preventing transmission interruptions
2Power
If the X86 system is used for data sharing, then the performance is powerful, but the user experience deteriorates when transmission is interrupted due to system shutdown or faults
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a system state monitoring module and a task transfer protocol. This intermediary monitors the X86 system's operational state and automatically triggers task transfer to the ARM system when shutdown or fault conditions are detected, ensuring transmission stability without compromising the X86 system's processing performance when needed
3Use of energy by moving object
If a hybrid system architecture with dual systems is used, then the power consumption can be reduced by switching to ARM system, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the data transmission function into two independent modules: one running on the X86 system and another on the ARM system. Each module can operate independently, and the system selectively activates only the necessary module based on power requirements and transmission needs, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining power efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing both the X86 and ARM systems with identical data transmission capabilities. Either system can perform the complete data transmission function independently, allowing the system to switch between them based on power requirements without requiring complex integration or loss of functionality, thereby simplifying the overall architecture

AI summary
A data sharing method and a portable terminal are provided. The portable terminal is a first terminal having a first system and a second system which have a capability of operating a shared storage area. The method comprises: starting transmitting a file in the shared storage area to a second terminal by the first system; acquiring upload information of the file by the second system, when detecting that the first system fulfills a predetermined condition, during the transmission of the file in the shared storage area to the second terminal by the first system; and continuing the transmission of the file to the second terminal by the second system in accordance with the upload information. In the transmission of shared data according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, due to the two-system hybrid architecture of the terminal, one of the two systems may continue the transmission of the shared data if the transmission is interrupted by shut down or fault of the other one of the two systems, thereby the user experience in transmitting the shared data may be improved.
