Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals face challenges in power management as users struggle to manually enable or disable functional modules to conserve power, leading to inefficient power saving due to forgetfulness and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A position-based power management device within mobile terminals, comprising a positioning module, network connection monitoring module, power management and control module, storage module, and terminal function module, automatically enables or disables functional modules like WIFI and mobile network data services based on the terminal's location, using a microprocessor chip and memory chip for control and data storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If manual power management is implemented, then power saving can be achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to the need to constantly enable/disable functions
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages power consumption by detecting location and network conditions, enabling/disabling functions without user intervention. The mobile terminal self-regulates its power state based on environmental context, eliminating the need for manual user actions while achieving power saving goals.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors location information and network connection status, using this feedback to dynamically adjust the power state of terminal functions. This closed-loop control ensures power management decisions are based on real-time conditions, optimizing both energy efficiency and user experience.
2Ease of operation
If terminal functions are continuously enabled, then user convenience is maintained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the operational state of terminal functions based on real-time location and network conditions. Functions are enabled or disabled adaptively according to the current context, allowing the system to optimize power consumption while maintaining user convenience when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters of terminal functions (enabled/disabled state) based on detected location and network conditions. This parameter adjustment allows flexible power management that responds to changing environmental conditions without requiring manual user intervention.
3Loss of energy
If position-based automatic control is implemented, then power saving is achieved, but device complexity increases due to additional modules
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses existing multi-functional components (positioning module and network monitoring module) that serve multiple purposes. The positioning module not only provides location information but can also infer network conditions, reducing the need for separate dedicated components and thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
