Smart Terminal Sensing Control for Remote Power Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Android smart terminals, such as TVs and set-top boxes, often lack built-in sensing devices due to cost and operational considerations, leading to unnecessary power consumption and resource occupation in remote control devices, as well as user inconvenience from manual activation and deactivation of sensing functions.
Innovation Solution
A sensing method for smart terminals to interact with remote control devices, where the smart terminal obtains current sensing device usage information, determines changes in usage situations, and sends notifications to the remote control device to activate or deactivate corresponding sensing devices, thereby smartly controlling the devices and reducing power consumption and resource occupation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If sensing devices are disposed at the remote control device instead of the smart terminal, then cost and operational convenience are improved, but unnecessary power consumption and resource occupation occur in the remote control device
Solution Approach 1:
The smart terminal autonomously determines whether sensing devices need to be activated based on the currently running application, and automatically notifies the remote control device to activate or deactivate the corresponding sensing devices. This eliminates the need for manual user operation and prevents unnecessary power consumption by ensuring sensing devices are only activated when actually needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the smart terminal continuously monitors the running application state and sends control notifications to the remote control device based on this information. When an application that requires sensing functionality is launched, the smart terminal notifies the remote control device to activate the corresponding sensing devices, and when such applications are closed, it notifies to deactivate them, thereby optimizing power consumption.
2Ease of operation
If sensing information is constantly collected and transmitted from the remote control device, then sensing operation is simplified, but unnecessary power consumption and resource occupation occur
Solution Approach 1:
The smart terminal autonomously monitors its own application state and automatically generates control notifications to the remote control device based on whether sensing functionality is needed. This self-service approach eliminates the need for constant sensing data collection and transmission, as the system only activates sensing devices when an application that requires them is running.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of constant collection and transmission of sensing information, the system adopts periodic action by only collecting and transmitting sensing data when specifically needed - that is, when an application requiring sensing functionality is launched or closed. The smart terminal periodically checks the running application state and triggers sensing device activation/deactivation accordingly.
3Use of energy by moving object
If manual activation and deactivation of sensing function is required, then power consumption is reduced, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The smart terminal automatically determines whether sensing devices need to be activated based on the currently running application and sends control notifications to the remote control device without requiring any manual user operation. Users simply need to launch or close applications, and the system automatically handles the sensing device activation and deactivation, combining power efficiency with user convenience.

AI summary
A sensing method for a smart terminal to interact with a sensing device in a remote control device is provided. The sensing method includes following steps. The first step is that the smart terminal obtains a current sensing device usage information. The second step is according to the current sensing device usage information and the previous sensing device usage information pre-stored in the smart terminal, the smart terminal determines whether a change occurs in a sensing device usage situation. When the change occurs in the sensing device usage situation, the remote control device associated with the smart terminal and carrying a plurality of sensing devices is notified.
