Intermittent Computing Energy Simulation Model

The patent applies preliminary action by creating a simulation system that models charge and discharge energy scenarios before actual hardware installation. The simulation apparatus pre-tests energy harvesting configurations, solar panel specifications, and power management strategies in a virtual environment, allowing designers to identify optimal settings and potential issues beforehand, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming trial and error in the field.

The patent applies copying by creating a virtual replica of the intermittent computing system that replicates hardware components, energy harvesting mechanisms, and power management circuits in a simulation environment. This virtual copy allows repeated testing and configuration optimization without requiring physical hardware reproductions, significantly reducing material costs while maintaining the ability to verify system reliability through comprehensive simulation scenarios.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex energy simulation system into modular components: energy harvesting module, energy storage module, load management module, and simulation control module. Each segment handles specific aspects of energy flow and can be independently configured and tested. This modular approach reduces overall system complexity while enabling comprehensive energy consumption optimization through coordinated operation of the segmented components.
