Inter-Application Network Profiles for Redundant Profiling Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices face inefficiencies in network resource management due to redundant network profiling by multiple applications, leading to unnecessary resource consumption and a suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
Implementing inter-application network profiles that allow one application to share network information with others, reducing redundant profiling by directly providing network profiles through inter-process communication or system processes, enabling efficient data rate management and seamless operation based on current network conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple applications independently perform network profiling, then each application can accurately determine network conditions, but redundant processing occurs leading to increased resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple network profiling operations into a single unified profiling process. The system performs network profiling once at the system level and shares the resulting network profile across multiple applications, eliminating redundant profiling operations while maintaining accurate network condition information for all applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal network profile that serves multiple applications simultaneously. The network profiling capability is made multi-functional by allowing the same profile data to be utilized by different applications for their respective network communications, reducing the need for each application to perform separate profiling.
2Measurement precision
If multiple applications independently determine network profiles, then each application has accurate network information, but the complexity of network resource management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a system-level intermediary component that manages network profiling centrally. This intermediary performs the network profiling and distributes the profile information to multiple applications, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing management functions rather than having each application handle profiling independently.
3Use of energy by moving object
If applications switch between active and inactive states, then power consumption is reduced, but network profile consistency becomes challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs network profiling in advance when applications are inactive or during system idle periods, so that network profiles are already determined and ready when applications become active. This preliminary action ensures profile consistency is maintained without requiring active profiling during application execution, thus saving power while maintaining accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for providing inter-application network profiles for electronic devices. An inter-application network profile may include, for example, a network profile generated by one application and provided to another application. The other application can then initiate its network communications at a data rate that is determined based on the network profile received from the one application. In one or more implementations, a first application can generate a three-dimensional network profile map of a three-dimensional physical space.
