In-Vehicle Remote Controller Sleep-Wake Control for Longer Battery Life
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The poor battery life of in-vehicle remote controllers is due to their small size requiring small battery capacity, which limits their functionality and convenience in vehicle interactions.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method that allows the in-vehicle remote controller to enter a sleep mode in response to a sleep command and generate a wake-up command based on user operations, using signal monitors to reduce power consumption and increase battery life.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the in-vehicle remote controller is designed to be small and exquisite, then the portability and ease of operation are improved, but the battery capacity is reduced leading to poor battery life
Solution Approach 1:
The remote controller dynamically adjusts its operating state between wake-up mode and sleep mode based on user interaction. The controller transitions from a high-power consumption state to a low-power consumption state when no interaction is detected, thereby extending battery life while maintaining small size for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The signal monitor periodically checks for user interactions at predetermined intervals during sleep mode. This periodic monitoring allows the controller to remain in low-power state most of the time while still detecting user operations, thus extending battery life without completely sacrificing responsiveness.
2Duration of action of moving object
If the remote controller enters sleep mode to reduce power consumption, then battery life is extended, but the response time to user operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
A signal monitor is introduced as an intermediary low-power component that remains active during sleep mode to detect user operations. When the signal monitor detects a touch or button press, it triggers the wake-up process, enabling fast response to user interactions while allowing the main controller to remain in low-power state.
Solution Approach 2:
The signal monitor performs preliminary detection of user operations during sleep mode before the main controller needs to wake up. This preliminary action ensures that the controller can wake up immediately when needed, minimizing response time while maintaining extended battery life through sleep mode operation.
3Productivity
If the data transmission frequency is increased after wake-up, then the communication speed and productivity are improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The data transmission frequency is dynamically adjusted based on the operational state. After wake-up, the controller temporarily increases transmission frequency to complete communication tasks quickly, then returns to lower frequency or sleep mode to reduce power consumption, achieving a balance between productivity and energy efficiency.
