Solution Overview

Problem

Existing terminal operating mode adjustment methods are inaccurate as they rely solely on speed data, failing to distinguish between different user states such as driving and riding, especially when speeds are similar, leading to suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that combines physiological characteristic data, such as heart rate and movement speed, to determine the user's active state and generate operation mode adjustment instructions for the terminal, enabling more intelligent and accurate mode switching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If terminal operating mode adjustment is based solely on speed data, then the adjustment method is simple, but the accuracy of determining user active state is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple data sources (speed data from location module, physiological characteristic data from wearable devices, and activity recognition data from sensor modules) to comprehensively determine user active state. This merging of diverse data types resolves the contradiction by achieving high measurement precision through multi-dimensional data fusion while managing complexity through integrated processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing apparatus performs multiple functions: collecting speed data, receiving physiological characteristic data, recognizing activity states, and determining user active state. This multi-functionality allows a single system to address the measurement precision requirement without proportionally increasing device complexity, as one apparatus handles all data processing tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If the terminal adjusts operating mode based on physiological characteristic data and activity state recognition, then the accuracy of operation mode adjustment is improved, but the complexity of the information processing apparatus increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of operation mode adjustmentVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user activity state and provides feedback to adjust terminal operating modes accordingly. This feedback mechanism enhances reliability by ensuring the terminal responds appropriately to real-time user conditions, while the automated feedback loop manages complexity by eliminating the need for manual user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing apparatus autonomously determines user active state and generates operation mode adjustment instructions without requiring manual user intervention. This self-service capability improves reliability through consistent, objective decision-making while reducing the operational complexity burden on the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If the system uses multiple data sources including speed, physiological characteristics, and activity recognition, then the accuracy of active state determination is improved, but the amount of data processing and computation increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing into distinct modules: speed data collection, physiological characteristic reception, activity state recognition, and active state determination. This segmentation allows each component to process data independently and efficiently, reducing overall computational burden while maintaining high measurement precision through specialized processing at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
