Terminal Device Scheduler Task Recovery During Abnormal Conditions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Terminal devices face increased failure risks due to complex software functions, and existing device management systems struggle to ensure uninterrupted task processing, especially when devices encounter abnormal conditions such as power loss or user intervention, leading to incomplete or unprocessed management operations.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that categorizes scheduler tasks based on time limits and necessity, allowing users to choose processing options or follow default procedures, and enables terminal devices to automatically turn on, process tasks, and turn off to ensure task completion, even during abnormal conditions like power loss or system adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal device monitors task processing in a non-interfered state, then task execution reliability is improved, but the device cannot process tasks during abnormal conditions such as power loss or user intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a monitoring mechanism that detects abnormal conditions before they interrupt task processing. When abnormal conditions are detected, the system pre-emptsively handles the situation by determining whether to process the task based on user settings, thereby preventing incomplete task execution while maintaining reliability during abnormal conditions.
2Productivity
If the terminal device processes tasks automatically without user intervention, then productivity is improved, but the device cannot respond to abnormal conditions requiring user awareness
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by notifying the user when abnormal conditions occur during task processing. This allows the automatic task processing to maintain high productivity while the user receives feedback about abnormal conditions and can make informed decisions about whether to proceed with task execution, thus preserving user control capability.
3Manufacturing precision
If the terminal device continuously monitors task processing, then task completion accuracy is improved, but energy consumption increases during abnormal conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies periodic action by monitoring task processing at specific intervals rather than continuously. During abnormal conditions, the monitoring occurs periodically to determine task processing status, which maintains task completion accuracy while reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

AI summary
The present invention provides an improved method and device for task processing in a device management. When the current state or the operation of the terminal device is interrupted by an abnormal condition, the method includes checking if any scheduler task exists; prompting the user to select the processing procedure for the scheduler task based on the types of the scheduler task, or processing the impacted scheduler task based on user's selection or processing the scheduler task based on a predetermined process procedure.
