Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication technologies, particularly in 5G NR, lack effective mechanisms for remotely controlling and optimizing power consumption and application functionality of smart devices like smart watches, especially during specified time periods, leading to inefficient power usage and limited functionality, and existing solutions fail to address power consumption and application efficacy, particularly in specified time periods, and existing solutions fail to address these needs, the present disclosure addresses these challenges by implementing innovative remote control modes to optimize power usage and application efficacy, particularly in specified time periods, and existing solutions fail to address these challenges by optimizing power usage and application functionality of smart devices like smart watches, especially during specified time periods, leading to inefficient power consumption and limited functionality.
Innovation Solution
The present disclosure introduces a remote control mode, referred to as 'school mode,' where a second user can control a first user's smart device to optimize power savings and application functionality. This mode includes parameters such as DRX and paging settings, bandwidth limitations, and allowed applications, and uses signaling modes to manage power consumption based on location and time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If remote control mode is implemented to optimize power consumption, then power savings are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A remote control device acts as an intermediary to control the smart device's power consumption. The remote control device sends commands to the smart device to enable/disability features, adjust settings, and control application functionality, thereby optimizing power consumption without requiring complex embedded power management systems within the smart device itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart device is configured to automatically respond to remote control commands through pre-configured signaling modes. When receiving control signals, the device automatically adjusts its operation parameters, DRX settings, and application functionality without requiring complex real-time decision-making algorithms, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining power optimization capabilities.
2Use of energy by moving object
If application functionality is limited during specified time periods, then power savings are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts application functionality and operational parameters based on time-of-day settings and remote control commands. During specified time periods, certain applications are automatically limited or disabled to save power, while outside these periods, full functionality is restored. This dynamic adjustment is controlled through simple remote commands rather than requiring complex user configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
Users pre-configure time periods, allowed applications, and power saving parameters in advance through the remote control device. The smart device then automatically executes these pre-configured settings during specified time periods without requiring real-time user intervention, thus maintaining ease of operation while achieving power savings through predetermined functionality limitations.
3Use of energy by moving object
If DRX and paging settings are adjusted for power savings, then power consumption is reduced, but reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system adjusts DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle lengths and paging parameters based on remote control commands and current operational conditions. During power-saving mode, longer DRX cycles are configured to reduce wake-up frequency, while maintaining minimum reliability thresholds. The remote control device can dynamically modify these parameters to balance power consumption and communication reliability based on actual usage patterns.
