Power Awareness System for Mobile Query Response Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile computing devices waste energy by providing duplicative and lengthy responses to user commands, which can deplete battery power and lead to device interruption.
Innovation Solution
A system that analyzes battery power, query context, digestibility, and user preferences to determine whether an audio or displayed response is necessary, and if so, delivers the response efficiently by using audio only or offloading to a device with sufficient power, reducing response complexity and conserving energy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the device provides detailed displayed responses to user queries, then information completeness is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides partial responses by determining digestibility of response content and selectively delivering only necessary information. When responses are deemed overly complex or unnecessary, the system delivers simplified audio-only responses instead of full displayed responses, reducing power consumption while maintaining essential information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary assessment layer that evaluates response digestibility before delivery. This intermediary process analyzes whether full displayed responses are necessary or if simplified audio responses suffice, acting as a mediator between complete information and power conservation.
2Loss of information
If the device provides both audio and displayed responses, then user understanding is improved, but energy waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different response qualities locally based on query type and context. For simple queries, audio-only responses are provided; for complex queries requiring visual reference, displayed responses are delivered. This local differentiation eliminates unnecessary dual-mode responses and reduces overall energy waste.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the response delivery parameters dynamically by assessing digestibility and query context. Instead of consistently providing both audio and displayed responses, the system adjusts the response mode (audio-only, displayed-only, or both) based on real-time evaluation of whether such comprehensive delivery is necessary.
3Reliability
If the device processes and delivers comprehensive responses, then response quality is improved, but device interruption risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system delivers partial responses when full comprehensive responses are unnecessary. By assessing digestibility and determining when simplified audio responses suffice, the system reduces processing load and extends device usage time before battery depletion, while maintaining adequate response quality for the given context.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method includes: learning, by a computer device, a delivery for response content in view of types of queries; awakening, by the computer device, in response to receiving an activation command; receiving, by the computer device, a query; determining, by the computer device, a context of the query; determining, by the computer device, a digestibility of a response to the query; and determining, by the computing device, to output a response to the query as one of an audio response, a displayed response, and an audio response and a displayed response to the user, wherein the determining is based on the learning, the determined context of the query, the determined digestibility of the response, and the preferences of the user for receiving the response.
