Solution Overview
Problem
Extended reality devices face challenges in minimizing power consumption, as they often require explicit user commands to switch between power saving and non-power saving modes, leading to inefficient energy usage and user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An extended reality device equipped with a camera, display, and sensor that automatically switches between power saving and non-power saving modes based on detected use environments and user actions, eliminating the need for explicit user commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the extended reality device operates in non-power saving mode to provide full functionality, then user experience and performance are improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between non-power saving mode and power saving mode based on detected user actions and usage conditions. The controller adjusts the operational state of the device in real-time, transitioning from high-performance mode to energy-efficient mode when inactivity is detected, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining full functionality and reducing power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by switching between different power modes. When a user action is detected, the device operates in non-power saving mode with full performance; when no user action is detected for a predetermined time, the controller transitions to power saving mode, changing the power consumption parameter while maintaining the ability to return to full functionality when needed.
2Reliability
If the device requires explicit user commands to switch power modes, then mode switching control is precise, but user convenience and ease of operation decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The device automatically detects user actions through sensors and autonomously decides when to switch between power modes without requiring explicit user commands. The system monitors usage conditions and self-manages the power state transitions, improving user convenience while maintaining reliable control through sensor-based detection and predetermined switching criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses sensor feedback to detect user actions and automatically adjusts power modes based on this information. The controller continuously monitors user interaction through sensors and uses this feedback to automatically transition between power saving and non-power saving modes, eliminating the need for manual user commands while maintaining precise control based on actual usage conditions.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the device automatically switches to power saving mode based on user action detection, then power consumption is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control (physical buttons or switches for power mode selection) with an automated sensor-based detection system. The controller uses sensors to detect user actions and automatically manages power mode transitions, substituting the mechanical user interface with an electronic sensing and control system that reduces power consumption while managing the inherent complexity through automation.
