OPERATING SYSTEM BASED ON DUAL SYSTEM PARADIGM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111581 titled 'OPERATING SYSTEM BASED ON DUAL SYSTEM PARADIGM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for managing the resource consumption of software programs on a computing device by monitoring physical resources and dynamically adjusting the resource consumption modes of the programs.

  • Invoking a plurality of software programs to operate in different resource consuming modes.
  • Monitoring physical resources of the computing device consumed by the software programs.
  • Determining whether to reduce or expand the consumption of physical resources based on the monitored data.
  • Switching the operation mode of a software program based on the determination, to either consume less or more physical resources.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Cloud computing environments to optimize resource allocation.
  • IoT devices to manage resource usage efficiently.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of inefficient resource consumption by software programs, leading to better resource utilization and performance.

Benefits

  • Improved performance of software programs.
  • Efficient utilization of physical resources.
  • Dynamic resource management based on real-time monitoring.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized resource management technology can be utilized in:

  • Data centers to improve server efficiency.
  • Mobile devices to enhance battery life.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be dynamic resource allocation algorithms used in virtualized environments to optimize resource usage.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact energy consumption in mobile devices?

This technology could potentially help reduce energy consumption by optimizing resource usage in mobile devices, leading to longer battery life.

What are the security implications of dynamically adjusting resource consumption modes?

Dynamically adjusting resource consumption modes could potentially impact the security of the system by allowing for more or less resource access based on the mode selected. It is essential to ensure that these adjustments do not compromise the security of the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

an example operation may include one or more of invoking, via an operating system, execution of a plurality of software programs having a first mode of operation that causes the plurality of software programs to operate in a first resource consuming mode, monitoring physical resources of a computing device that are consumed by the plurality of software programs, determining to reduce or allow expanded consumption of the physical resources of the computing device by the plurality of software programs based on the monitored physical resources, and in response to the determination, switching from a first mode of operation of a software program from among the plurality of software programs and to a second mode of operation of the software program that causes the software program to operate in a second resource consuming mode that consumes either less or more physical resources than the first resource consuming mode.
