Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices face issues with increased sound and temperature due to overutilization of components, which can lead to operational inefficiencies and mechanical damage, as users often forget to shut them down, and simultaneous execution of multiple applications exacerbates these problems over time.

Innovation Solution

A computing device utilizes a machine learning model trained on historical device usage and sensor data to detect deviations in sound and temperature, generating alert notifications with recommended actions to mitigate these issues, thereby preventing component failure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If components are overutilized to perform various functions/operations, then productivity is improved, but temperature increases and reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent utilizationVSAvoidcomponent reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring component parameters (temperature, sound, power consumption) and predicting future deviations before they occur. The machine learning model analyzes historical data to forecast when components will deviate from normal operation, allowing preventive measures to be taken before actual failures occur, thus maintaining reliability while enabling high utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously collecting sensor data from components and using machine learning models to analyze patterns. The system provides feedback through alert notifications when deviations are detected, enabling users to adjust workload or maintenance schedules. This closed-loop feedback allows the system to maintain optimal performance while preventing reliability degradation through proactive management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If components are overutilized for extended periods, then productivity is improved, but sound increases and harmful factors worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent utilizationVSAvoidsound and heat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system predicts future sound and temperature deviations before they occur by analyzing historical sensor data and operational patterns. By forecasting when components will generate excessive sound or heat, the system allows proactive scheduling of maintenance or workload adjustment, enabling continuous high utilization without allowing harmful factors to reach problematic levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors sound and temperature sensors, comparing real-time readings against predicted normal ranges. When deviations are detected, the system provides feedback through alert notifications, enabling users to take corrective actions such as reducing workload or improving ventilation. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain high productivity while keeping harmful factors within acceptable ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If historical data is collected and analyzed using machine learning models, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeviation detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically collecting sensor data, training machine learning models on historical data, and performing deviation predictions without requiring external intervention. The machine learning models are trained using historical device usage and sensor data, enabling the system to autonomously improve its measurement precision over time while managing its own complexity through automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses machine learning models to create virtual representations (copies) of component behavior based on historical data. Instead of physically monitoring every aspect of component operation, the system creates predictive models that replicate normal operation patterns. This allows high measurement precision through data analysis while avoiding the complexity of extensive physical monitoring infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

In an example, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a computing device to receive device usage data of an electronic device. Further, instructions may be executed by the processor to receive sensor data indicative of an internal state of the electronic device. The sensor data may include first data associated with a first characteristic of the internal state and second data associated with a second characteristic of the internal state. Furthermore, instructions may be executed by the processor to determine a deviation associated with a component of the electronic device by applying a machine learning model to the device usage data and the sensor data. The deviation may be associated with the first characteristic, the second characteristic, or both. Further, instructions may be executed by the processor to generate an alert notification based on the deviation.
