Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile equipment face challenges in identifying and managing energy-consuming functionalities, leading to inefficient battery life extension and operational degradation, as disabling or re-enabling features is manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
A method for controlling energy consumption in mobile equipment by selectively managing inbound information transmission based on an energy saving policy, using category indicators to determine transmission enablement and buffer non-essential data until the device exits energy-saving mode, implemented through a network system and energy saving app.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If users manually disable functionalities to reduce energy consumption, then battery lifetime is extended, but device operation is degraded and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies and manages energy-consuming functionalities without requiring user intervention. The mobile device itself performs the energy management tasks by monitoring its own power consumption patterns and automatically adjusting functionalities, thereby extending battery life while maintaining operational quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors energy consumption data and provides feedback to automatically adjust functionalities. By analyzing power consumption patterns in real-time, the system identifies which functionalities are most energy-intensive and adjusts them accordingly, resolving the contradiction between energy savings and operational quality.
2Use of energy by moving object
If users manually manage energy-consuming functionalities, then some energy savings are achieved, but the process is time-consuming and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device automatically performs energy management without user intervention. The system monitors its own power consumption, identifies energy-intensive functionalities, and adjusts them automatically, eliminating the time users would spend on this task while achieving effective energy savings.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of users analyzing and adjusting functionalities is replaced by an automated electronic system. The device uses software algorithms to monitor power consumption data and automatically adjust settings, substituting human effort with computational processes.
3Ease of operation
If inbound information transmission is continuously enabled, then device functionality is maintained, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous transmission, the system uses periodic action by enabling inbound information transmission only when necessary. The device monitors incoming data and selectively activates transmission based on energy saving policies, reducing energy consumption while maintaining essential functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by enabling transmission only for essential inbound information rather than all incoming data. By selectively filtering and transmitting only necessary information, the device reduces energy consumption while maintaining adequate functionality.
