Combined State Information Display in Multi-Apparatus Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems lack efficient methods for simultaneously displaying and managing combined state information between multiple apparatuses, particularly in scenarios where one apparatus operates after another has ended, or both operate simultaneously, especially in environments like vehicles where surroundings information integration is crucial.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system comprising two apparatuses with communication devices that allow for the display of combined state information on separate display devices, with the ability to operate sequentially or simultaneously, and switch between states based on the driving situation, using sensors and communication methods like Bluetooth or W-LAN for synchronization, and integrating surroundings information from cameras and other sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If combined state information is displayed on multiple display devices simultaneously, then information completeness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the information display function across multiple independent display devices (first display device and second display device), with each device handling specific aspects of the combined state information. The information processing is segmented into separate modules in each apparatus, reducing the complexity burden on any single device while maintaining complete information availability across the system.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication device acts as an intermediary between the first and second information processing apparatuses, enabling them to exchange state information without direct complex interactions. This mediator facilitates the sharing of combined state information while simplifying the architectural complexity by providing a standardized communication interface.
2Productivity
If apparatuses operate simultaneously, then productivity is improved, but coordination difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where each information processing apparatus continuously communicates its state to the other through communication devices. This allows simultaneous operation while maintaining coordination, as each apparatus can adjust its operations based on real-time feedback from the other, preventing conflicts and ensuring synchronized performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows dynamic switching between different operational modes: both apparatuses can operate simultaneously when needed for high productivity, or one can operate after the other in sequential mode. This dynamic flexibility enables the system to adapt to different task requirements, optimizing productivity while managing coordination complexity based on actual needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If surroundings information is integrated with state information, then user experience is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges surroundings information obtained from sensors (such as cameras) with the combined state information from both apparatuses. This integration creates a comprehensive augmented reality display that enhances user experience by contextualizing digital information within the physical environment, while the merging process is managed through standardized data fusion protocols that control processing complexity.

AI summary
A first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus communicate with one another. The first information processing apparatus has a first communication device and the second information processing apparatus has a second communication device. The first information processing apparatus displays combined state information of the first and second information processing apparatuses on a first display device, such that the combined state information of the first and second information processing apparatuses is superimposed with surroundings information on the first display device. The second information processing apparatus displays the combined state information of the first and second information processing apparatuses on a second display device.
