Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional game systems experience unintended interruptions in vibration feedback due to poor wireless communication conditions, leading to inconsistent and unreliable vibration experiences for users.
Innovation Solution
A vibration control system that includes a first apparatus with reception, storage, and vibration control means, which stores and manages vibration instruction data to prevent interruptions by adding additional data when predetermined conditions are met, ensuring continuous and accurate vibration output even in poor communication conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If vibration instruction data is transmitted at certain intervals through wireless communication, then the system can maintain simple communication protocols, but the vibration may be interrupted unintentionally when radio wave conditions are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The controller预先 stores vibration instruction data in its storage unit before transmission is needed. When the main body transmits vibration instructions, the controller retrieves and executes them from storage, ensuring continuous vibration output even when transmission is interrupted or delayed due to poor radio wave conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage unit acts as an intermediary buffer between the main body and the vibration generator. It temporarily holds vibration instruction data, decoupling the transmission timing from the execution timing, thereby preventing vibration interruptions caused by communication issues.
2Reliability
If vibration instruction data is transmitted continuously to ensure uninterrupted vibration, then vibration reliability improves, but wireless communication bandwidth and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
Vibration instruction data is transmitted and stored in advance before it is needed for vibration output. This allows the system to use intermittent transmission rather than continuous transmission, reducing wireless communication energy consumption while ensuring vibration reliability through pre-buffered instructions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses periodic transmission of vibration instruction data at predetermined intervals rather than continuous transmission. The controller stores these periodically transmitted instructions and executes them as needed, achieving reliable vibration feedback with reduced communication energy consumption.

AI summary
Vibration instruction data for vibrating a vibration apparatus is received from another apparatus, data related to the received vibration instruction data is stored in storage means, and the vibration apparatus is vibrated using the data stored in the storage means. Then, as an example, a state of the data related to the vibration instruction data stored in the storage means is detected, and when the state of the data satisfies a predetermined condition, predetermined data related to the vibration instruction data is additionally stored in the storage means. As another example, when the vibration instruction data cannot be received from the other apparatus, predetermined data related to the vibration instruction data is additionally stored in the storage means.
