Server-Mediated Service Execution for Mobile Terminal Power Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current service processing methods in mobile terminals lead to increased power consumption, reducing standby time and service life due to frequent wake-ups for maintaining connections and processing requests.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a service processing method where a server hosts a service application identical to the mobile terminal's, executing services on the server and only waking up the mobile terminal when necessary, thereby reducing the frequency of wake-ups.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the mobile terminal keeps a connection path for data push services, then data push functionality is maintained, but power consumption increases due to frequent wake-ups for processing requests
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between external requesters and the mobile terminal. The server maintains the connection path and processes requests on behalf of the terminal, acting as a mediator that eliminates the need for the terminal to frequently wake up for connection maintenance, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining data push functionality and reducing power consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the connection maintenance and request processing functions from the mobile terminal and relocates them to a server. By taking out these functions, the terminal can remain in a low-power state while the server handles all connection-related activities, thereby maintaining data push functionality without the power consumption penalty
2Reliability
If the mobile terminal initiates heartbeat to maintain connection in standby state, then connection is maintained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that maintains the connection path and handles heartbeat operations on behalf of the mobile terminal. The terminal only needs to wake up when the server indicates service completion, eliminating the need for the terminal to actively maintain connections and reducing power consumption while ensuring connection reliability
3Reliability
If the mobile terminal processes firewall requests by waking up to parse and discard unusable packets, then security is maintained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server serves as an intermediary that performs firewall filtering operations before requests reach the mobile terminal. By processing and discarding unusable packets at the server level, the terminal is protected from security threats without needing to wake up for each firewall check, thus maintaining security while reducing power consumption

AI summary
The present invention provides a service processing method and a server, which belong to the field of mobile terminals. The method includes: installing, on a server, a service application same as that of a mobile terminal; running the service application on the server, and executing, in place of the mobile terminal, a service corresponding to the service application; determining, by the server according to a result of executing the service, whether the mobile terminal needs to be woken up; and when the service needs to wake up the mobile terminal, instructing the mobile terminal to process the service. The server executes a service in place of a mobile terminal, and when the mobile terminal needs to be woken up, instructs the mobile terminal to process the service, thereby reducing the power consumption of the mobile terminal, and extending the standby time and service life of the mobile terminal.
