Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal continuously monitors and measures network signals to maintain high-speed and low-latency communication, then communication quality is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic monitoring and measurement cycles where the terminal alternates between active measurement phases and low-power sleep phases. During active phases, the terminal performs signal strength measurements and mode determinations; during sleep phases, it enters a low-power state with reduced monitoring. This periodic operation allows the system to maintain adequate communication quality while significantly reducing average power consumption compared to continuous monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts the terminal's operating mode based on real-time network conditions and power state. The system transitions between different measurement modes (first measurement mode with full monitoring, second measurement mode with reduced monitoring) and working modes (first working mode with full functionality, second working mode with reduced functionality) according to predefined thresholds and time periods. This dynamic adaptation enables the terminal to optimize the balance between communication quality and power consumption based on current operational requirements.
2Speed
If the terminal operates in high-performance mode to achieve high-speed communication, then data transmission rate is improved, but battery life decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic mode switching between first working mode (high-performance mode with full processing and high data transmission rates) and second working mode (low-power mode with reduced processing and lower data transmission rates). The terminal determines which mode to operate in based on measured signal conditions, time period configurations, and power consumption requirements. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to achieve high-speed communication when needed while conserving battery life during normal operation, thereby extending overall device longevity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic evaluation of operational conditions to determine when to switch between high-performance and low-power modes. The terminal periodically measures network signals, evaluates whether conditions meet predefined thresholds for high-performance operation, and adjusts its working mode accordingly. This periodic decision-making process enables the system to achieve high data transmission rates during favorable conditions while spending more time in energy-efficient modes, thus extending battery life.
