Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transmitting measurement data to a different electronic device is cumbersome and risks data leakage, especially when errors occur, requiring manual input and potential keyboard use for data transmission to manufacturers.
Innovation Solution
The analysis device incorporates a format conversion unit, data designation unit, and output unit to convert data into a two-dimensional code or contactless IC chip for secure and easy transfer, using a repeater for communication-free data movement and error analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user exports measurement data to a laptop computer or tablet terminal for transmission, then the data can be transmitted to the destination electronic device, but the operation becomes troublesome and data leakage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a relay medium (two-dimensional code or contactless IC chip) as an intermediary carrier to transfer measurement data from the analysis device to the destination electronic device. This mediator enables direct data transmission without requiring a laptop or tablet terminal, eliminating the troublesome intermediate step while maintaining data confidentiality through secure encoding and transmission mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual data export process (connecting via USB cable, copying to laptop, manual transmission) with an automated data transfer system using two-dimensional codes or contactless IC chips. This substitution eliminates manual keyboard input and file copying operations, making data transmission both simpler and more secure.
2Reliability
If the user manually collects and inputs error data by keyboard or writing tool, then the manufacturer can analyze the error, but the operation becomes troublesome and input errors may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The analysis device automatically collects and prepares error data without requiring user intervention. The device self-diagnoses and extracts necessary error information (product serial number, software version, error number, operating status, measurement data) directly from its internal memory and systems, eliminating the need for manual keyboard input or writing tool documentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the relay medium (two-dimensional code or contactless IC chip) as an intermediary to automatically transmit error data from the analysis device to the manufacturer's electronic device. This eliminates manual data entry and transmission steps, reducing input errors while maintaining accurate error analysis capability.
3Ease of operation
If the analysis device is provided with communication unit for direct data transmission, then data can be transmitted easily, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of integrating a complex communication unit directly into the analysis device, the patent uses external relay media (two-dimensional codes or contactless IC chips) as intermediaries for data transmission. This approach enables easy data transfer without requiring built-in communication hardware, maintaining device simplicity while achieving convenient operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses two-dimensional codes as a form of data copying to enable transmission. The analysis device encodes measurement data into two-dimensional codes that can be read by destination electronic devices, providing a simple alternative to complex communication units for data transfer.
Data Source
AI summary
This analysis device can transmit or move measurement data to a target place. An export instruction unit issues a data export instruction of user. A data designation unit designates a specific measurement data item to be moved, among a plurality of types of measurement data items stored in a memory, on the basis of the instruction from the export instruction unit. A format conversion unit converts the measurement data item designated by the data designation unit into a data format suited for a relay medium from the analysis device. The measurement data item, the data format of which has been converted, is outputted by an output unit. For the relay medium, a two-dimensional code or a contactless IC chip can be used.
