Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional power allocation methods in electric devices often result in unreasonable power distribution leading to battery overcharge and overdischarge phenomena due to discrepancies between actual requested and operating power, which existing solutions fail to adequately address.

Innovation Solution

A method that calculates a final requested power for each device by considering its historical operating power deviation, allowing for more accurate power allocation based on current available power, thereby preventing overcharge and overdischarge by reserving a portion of power during operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If power is allocated according to requested power of electric devices, then power distribution follows device demands, but battery overcharge and overdischarge occur due to deviation between requested and actual operating power

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower allocation simplicityVSAvoidbattery safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by calculating historical operating power deviation values before power allocation occurs. These deviation values are pre-computed and stored, allowing the power management to anticipate actual power consumption patterns and adjust allocation accordingly, preventing overcharge and overdischarge before they occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the deviation between requested power and actual operating power. This feedback loop uses historical deviation data to dynamically adjust power allocation decisions, ensuring that the power management system learns from past performance and improves its accuracy over time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If power is gradually allocated according to device priority when available power is insufficient, then power distribution follows priority rules, but actual power needs may not be met due to requested power inaccuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower allocation efficiencyVSAvoidrequested power accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the mechanical/manual power allocation approach with an intelligent computational system. Instead of simple priority-based allocation, the system uses algorithms that automatically calculate deviation values and adjust power distribution based on actual operating patterns, eliminating the need for manual intervention while improving accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter used for power allocation from static requested power values to dynamic adjusted values that incorporate historical deviation data. This parameter transformation allows the system to adapt to varying operating conditions and improve measurement precision without increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
