Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience and reduced battery lifetime due to the need for manual adjustment of power management settings on information handling systems, especially when switching to new devices, as they lack understanding of optimal settings and often neglect to update them.

Innovation Solution

A portable user profile is created based on usage data from a previous system, allowing automatic adjustment of power management settings on new systems by transferring and analyzing user profile data, including telemetry data and system characteristics, to optimize battery health and consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment of power management settings is required, then system can be customized to user needs, but user experience deteriorates due to confusion and inconvenience

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower management settings customizationVSAvoiduser experience

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically adjusts power management settings by monitoring user behavior patterns and system usage without requiring manual user input. The processor analyzes usage data and autonomously configures optimal power settings, eliminating the need for users to understand or adjust complex settings while maintaining personalized customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual adjustment of power management settings is required, then settings can be optimized for user behavior, but time consumption increases due to repeated adjustments on new systems

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower management optimizationVSAvoidsettings adjustment time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user behavior patterns and pre-configures optimal power management settings before the user needs to manually adjust them. By continuously monitoring usage patterns and automatically adjusting settings in advance, the system eliminates the need for repeated manual adjustments when users switch to new systems, saving significant time while maintaining optimized power management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If power management settings are not updated on new systems, then user convenience is maintained, but battery lifetime decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidbattery lifetime

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user behavior patterns and system performance, then automatically adjusts power management settings based on this feedback. By analyzing usage data in real-time and adapting settings accordingly, the system maintains optimal battery lifetime without requiring users to manually update settings, thus preserving user convenience while extending battery duration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An user profile may be used to adjust one or more system power management settings of an information handling system. An information handling system may transmit one or more user profile credentials. The information handling system may receive user profile data and may compare the user profile data with one or more system characteristics of the information handling system. Based on the comparison of the user profile data with the system characteristics of the information handling system, the information handling system may adjust one or more power management settings of the information handling system.
