Solution Overview

Problem

Current power management systems for handheld devices rely on user proactive configuration and memory, which is inefficient due to increasing app power demands, multiple app usage, individual user differences, and mission-specific requirements, leading to suboptimal battery usage.

Innovation Solution

The Transformative Power Management (TPM) system applies pattern recognition and learning algorithms to infer user behavior and mission states, dynamically prioritize power resources, and suggest optimal power modes for apps, enabling autonomous or interactive energy management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional power management systems rely on user proactive configuration and memory, then system simplicity is maintained, but power management efficiency deteriorates due to increasing app power demands and multiple app usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower management efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power management system automatically infers user behavior patterns and mission states without requiring explicit user configuration. The system self-adjusts power allocation by monitoring app usage patterns, determining user behaviors, and dynamically modifying power settings based on inferred mission contexts, enabling autonomous power optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual user configuration mechanisms with automated pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms. Instead of relying on user-provided power management settings, the system uses computational models to infer user intentions and automatically optimize power distribution across applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If power management systems account for individual user differences and mission-specific requirements, then power allocation accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower allocation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes a comprehensive user behavior pattern library and mission state database before actual power management operations. By预先 collecting and organizing user behavior patterns across different missions and applications, the system prepares inference models in advance, enabling accurate real-time power allocation without complex on-the-fly calculations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an inference service as an intermediary layer between raw app usage data and power management decisions. This intermediary component processes app usage information, determines user behaviors, infers mission states, and translates these inferences into power allocation instructions, simplifying the overall system architecture while improving accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Use of energy by moving object

If the system dynamically prioritizes power resources based on inferred user behavior, then energy efficiency is improved, but computational overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial inference and power adjustment strategies by focusing computational resources on the most power-intensive applications and critical mission states. Instead of continuously analyzing all app usage data, the system selectively infers user behaviors for high-impact applications and adjusts power settings primarily for resources consuming significant energy, reducing overall computational overhead while maintaining energy efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The power management system implements continuous feedback loops where power allocation decisions are monitored and adjusted based on actual user behavior patterns and mission state changes. The system learns from observed user responses to power adjustments and refines its inference models over time, improving energy efficiency while reducing the computational power required for inference through iterative optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
