Solution Overview

Problem

Extended reality devices face limitations in supporting multiple applications simultaneously due to resource constraints, leading to inadequate system and application performance.

Innovation Solution

A mode switching method that allows switching between different running modes in extended reality devices, reallocating resources to prioritize either system performance or application performance, ensuring unchanged application performance during mode transitions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the extended reality device runs in the first running mode with higher system resource occupation, then system performance is improved, but the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem performanceVSAvoidability to run multiple applications
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic mode switching between first and second running modes based on real-time resource availability and application requirements. The system can transition between high-performance mode (first mode) and multi-application mode (second mode), making the resource allocation flexible and adaptive rather than static, thereby resolving the contradiction between system performance and multi-application capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of resource allocation by switching between different running modes. In the first mode, system resources are allocated prioritizing base running performance, while in the second mode, resources are reallocated to support multiple applications. This parameter change enables the system to adapt to different operational requirements and resolve the contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the extended reality device switches from the first running mode to the second running mode, then the ability to run multiple applications is improved, but system resource occupation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to run multiple applicationsVSAvoidsystem performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts resource allocation when switching between modes. When transitioning to the second running mode, the system reallocates resources to support multiple applications while maintaining appropriate system performance through dynamic control mechanisms, rather than simply reducing resources statically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages resource allocation and mode switching based on detected resource availability and application requirements. The resource management system serves itself by intelligently determining when to switch modes and how to reallocate resources, eliminating the need for manual intervention and optimizing the balance between multi-application support and system performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If resources are reallocated to support multiple applications, then application concurrency is improved, but the base running resource occupation must be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication concurrencyVSAvoidbase running resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the system can switch between first running mode (higher base resources) and second running mode (reduced base resources, increased application concurrency). This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize resource distribution based on current operational needs, resolving the contradiction between base running resources and application concurrency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of resource occupation by switching running modes. In the second running mode, base running resources are reduced to free up resources for multiple applications, while the system maintains operational functionality. This parameter change enables improved application concurrency at the cost of reduced base running resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a mode switching method, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The mode switching method includes: displaying a mode selection page in an extended reality space in response to a trigger operation for a mode switching entry, during a process that the extended reality device is running in a first running mode, the mode selection page including a second mode switching option; and switching a running mode of the extended reality device to the second running mode in response to a selection operation for the second mode switching option; an amount of resources occupied by a base running of a system of the extended reality device is greater in the first running mode than that in the second running mode.
