Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for processing viruses in electronic devices require manual selection of processing modes, making it difficult for users to determine the appropriate mode and location of infected files, leading to delayed virus detection and spread prevention.

Innovation Solution

A method that automatically determines whether conditions such as a time interval since the last virus scan and the presence of risk situations have passed, triggering either a comprehensive or fast virus processing mode to scan and process infected files accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual virus processing mode selection is implemented, then users can control virus scanning behavior, but users cannot determine the appropriate mode and location of infected files timely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirus processing operationVSAvoidvirus detection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors file operations and risk situations, and self-determines the appropriate virus processing mode without requiring user intervention. The electronic apparatus itself services the virus detection need by autonomously selecting between first and second processing modes based on detected conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors file operations and risk situations, using this feedback to dynamically adjust the virus processing mode. When risk situations are detected or time intervals exceed thresholds, the system feedback-drivenly switches to comprehensive scanning mode; otherwise, it operates in fast scanning mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If comprehensive virus scanning is performed frequently, then virus detection accuracy is improved, but system resources are consumed excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirus detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The virus processing mode is made dynamic rather than static. The system adjusts between comprehensive scanning (first mode) and fast scanning (second mode) based on real-time conditions such as detected risk situations and time intervals since last scanning, optimizing resource usage while maintaining detection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the scanning parameter (comprehensive vs. fast mode) based on detected conditions. When risk situations are detected or time intervals exceed preset thresholds, the scanning parameter switches to comprehensive mode for higher reliability; otherwise, it uses fast mode to conserve resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of time

If automatic virus processing mode selection is implemented, then timely virus prevention is achieved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirus prevention timeVSAvoidprocessing logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automatic mode selection is segmented into distinct, manageable conditions: monitoring file operations, detecting risk situations, measuring time intervals, and selecting appropriate modes. This segmentation simplifies the overall complexity by breaking down the decision-making process into discrete, evaluable components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
