Wireless Terminal Battery Optimization via Triggered Quality Reporting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems consume battery power for measuring and transmitting communication quality information, which is not directly beneficial to users, and do not effectively minimize battery consumption awareness.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a wireless terminal with information acquisition, transmission, and transmission control means that measure communication quality and transmit area quality information only when predetermined basic and additional trigger conditions are met, reducing battery consumption and user awareness of power usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If wireless terminals continuously measure and transmit communication quality information, then area quality information collection is complete and accurate, but battery power consumption increases and becomes noticeable to users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic measurement and transmission of communication quality information at predetermined time intervals rather than continuous operation. The terminal measures communication quality at scheduled periods and transmits the data when additional trigger conditions are met, reducing battery consumption while maintaining adequate data collection for area quality assessment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts transmission behavior based on terminal state conditions. The transmission control unit evaluates additional trigger conditions (such as terminal state changes) and decides whether to transmit measured communication quality information, allowing flexible adaptation to reduce battery consumption when conditions permit while ensuring data collection when needed
2Productivity
If wireless terminals transmit area quality information frequently, then system optimization data is sufficient, but user awareness of battery drain increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting communication quality information selectively rather than continuously. The transmission control unit determines whether to transmit based on additional trigger conditions, sending data only when necessary for effective area quality assessment, thus reducing unnecessary battery consumption while maintaining adequate data collection for system optimization

AI summary
A wireless terminal that carries out communication by a wireless circuit includes information acquisition means, transmission means, and transmission control means. The information acquisition means measures the communication quality of the wireless circuit. The transmission control means issues an instruction to the transmission means to transmit area quality information when basic transmission trigger conditions that have been determined in advance as time information are satisfied and when additional transmission trigger conditions are satisfied that have been determined that correspond to the state of the wireless terminal such that battery consumption is reduced. Upon receiving the instruction, the transmission means transmits area quality information that includes the communication quality that was measured by the information acquisition means.
