Processor Data Routing for Power and Priority Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices with multiple processors unnecessarily consume power and provide user-unintended data due to unconditional activation of the second processor for data reception, regardless of data importance or priority, leading to user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus where the first processor identifies the service or application corresponding to received data and determines whether to activate the second processor or route the data to another external device, based on the identified information, thereby optimizing power usage and data handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the second processor is unconditionally activated to process received data, then data processing capability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the operational state parameter of the second processor from always active to conditionally active based on data priority classification. High-priority data triggers processor activation while low-priority data does not, thereby reducing overall power consumption while maintaining necessary processing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of fully activating the second processor for all received data, the system applies partial action by selectively processing only high-priority data through the second processor. This partial processing approach reduces power consumption while still handling critical communications effectively.
2Reliability
If the second processor is unconditionally activated for all received data, then data processing completeness is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to presentation of low-priority data
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different quality levels of processing to different data based on their priority. High-priority data receives full processing and presentation to the user, while low-priority data is handled differently (not presented immediately), creating a differentiated quality approach that improves user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial processing by selectively presenting only high-priority data to the user while excluding low-priority data. This partial action approach maintains data processing completeness for system operations while improving user convenience by filtering out unnecessary notifications.

AI summary
A method for managing data in an electronic device including a first processor and a second processor, the method comprising: receiving data transmitted by a first external device by using the first processor; identifying, by the first processor, a service or content corresponding to the data; in response to detecting that the data corresponds to a first service or a first content, using the first processor to transmit at least a portion of the data to the second processor; and in response to detecting that the data corresponds to a second service or a second content, using the first processor to transmit at least a portion of the data to a second external device.
