Advertisement Packet Management for Wireless Information Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience in setting and managing multiple types of advertisement packets for information processing with devices, requiring frequent adjustments which can be time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a wireless communication unit that continuously transmits advertisement packets in a time-division manner, dynamically adding or deleting packet types based on the state of information processing execution, using a communication control unit to manage the transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the type of advertisement packets is set through user operation, then the transmission can be customized according to user needs, but it requires frequent adjustments which is troublesome and time-consuming for the user
Solution Approach 1:
The advertisement packet transmission system automatically adjusts the packet types being transmitted based on the current execution state of information processing tasks. The system monitors whether tasks are suspended or terminated and autonomously modifies the advertisement packet configuration without requiring user intervention, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the advertisement packet transmission is dynamically controlled based on the state information fed back from the information processing tasks. When task suspension or termination is detected, the system receives this state information and automatically adjusts the advertisement packet types accordingly, eliminating the need for manual user adjustments
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of advertisement packets are transmitted to support various information processing tasks, then the system becomes more versatile, but the complexity of managing and adjusting packet types increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages the complexity of multiple advertisement packet types by monitoring the execution state of information processing tasks and autonomously determining which packet types should be transmitted. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex manual management and configuration of multiple packet types
Solution Approach 2:
The advertisement packet transmission configuration is made dynamic rather than static. The system continuously adapts the packet types being transmitted based on real-time task state changes, allowing the configuration to automatically simplify or expand according to actual needs without requiring complex manual intervention
