Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If energy-saving mode is activated to reduce power consumption, then battery life is prolonged, but operation smoothness deteriorates causing freezing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power management by continuously monitoring processor state data and automatically switching between usage scenarios (power saving, balanced, performance) based on current operational conditions. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize power consumption while maintaining operation smoothness by selecting appropriate performance levels in real-time rather than using a fixed energy-saving mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes power consumption parameters dynamically by adjusting processor frequency, voltage, and power states based on monitored conditions. The power management device modifies operational parameters such as CPU frequency scaling and power state transitions to achieve optimal balance between power savings and operational reliability.
2Duration of action of moving object
If manual energy-saving mode setting is used to extend battery life, then power consumption is reduced, but user experience deteriorates due to freezing
Solution Approach 1:
The power management device operates autonomously by automatically monitoring processor state data and selecting appropriate usage scenarios without requiring manual user intervention. The system self-adjusts power settings based on current operational conditions, eliminating the need for users to manually configure energy-saving modes while maintaining both battery life and user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where processor state data is continuously monitored and fed back to the power management device. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts power consumption settings to maintain optimal performance. This closed-loop control ensures that power savings are achieved without compromising user experience through freezing or operational issues.
