Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable smart devices consume excessive power when all devices automatically execute applications corresponding to a scene mode, leading to increased energy consumption and potential user confusion regarding execution results.

Innovation Solution

A portable device control method that uses wireless communications to selectively determine and instruct execution and presentation devices for specific applications based on scene modes, allowing for optimized power management and clear result presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If all wearable smart devices automatically execute applications corresponding to a scene mode, then the application execution coverage is improved, but the total power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication execution coverageVSAvoidtotal power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the execution of applications across multiple wearable devices by introducing a main executing device and auxiliary executing devices. The control device determines which device should execute the application based on scene modes, dividing the execution task among specific devices rather than having all devices execute simultaneously. This segmentation reduces redundant execution and lowers total power consumption while maintaining comprehensive application coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If all wearable smart devices execute applications in a scene mode, then the application functionality is improved, but user confusion regarding execution results occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication functionalityVSAvoidexecution result clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a control device as an intermediary that manages application execution across multiple wearable devices. This control device receives scene mode information, determines the main executing device and auxiliary executing devices, and coordinates their roles. The intermediary ensures that only the designated main executing device produces execution results that are presented to the user, while auxiliary devices support the execution without creating conflicting outputs. This intermediary coordination eliminates user confusion about which device's results to trust while maintaining full application functionality across the device ecosystem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A portable device control method and a device are described herein. The method includes establishing, by a first device using a wireless communications technology, a connection to a second device when the first device discovers the second device; determining, by the first device, a user is in a first scene mode, wherein the first scene mode is a motion status, a health detection status or a sleep status; determining, by the first device based on a preset execution policy, an execution device of a first application; and sending, by the first device to the second device, an instruction message for executing the first application when the execution device is the second device.
