Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If communication interface information is transmitted by another apparatus, then communication control can be performed, but the transmitted information is not fully exploited leading to suboptimal performance
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving apparatus compares the received communication interface information with its own communication rate information and feeds back this comparison result to the transmitting apparatus. This feedback mechanism enables the transmitting apparatus to adjust its data transmission rate based on the actual communication capabilities of the receiving apparatus, thereby fully exploiting the transmitted interface information and optimizing communication efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmitting apparatus autonomously adjusts its data transmission rate by comparing the received communication interface information with its own capabilities. This self-service approach eliminates the need for external control while fully utilizing the interface information to optimize transmission performance, resolving the underutilization problem.
2Productivity
If data transmission rate is increased, then throughput improves, but communication performance deteriorates when exceeding receiver capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The data transmission rate is dynamically adjusted based on real-time comparison between the transmitted communication interface information and the receiving apparatus's actual communication rate capabilities. This dynamic adjustment ensures the transmission rate matches the receiver's capabilities, preventing performance deterioration while maximizing throughput.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmitting apparatus changes the data transmission rate parameter based on the comparison result between received interface information and own communication rate information. By adjusting this parameter to match the receiving apparatus's capabilities, the system achieves optimal communication performance without exceeding receiver limits.
3Productivity
If relay apparatus selection is static, then connection stability is maintained, but communication efficiency decreases due to suboptimal relay choices
Solution Approach 1:
The connection-destination relay apparatus is dynamically switched based on the comparison between received communication interface information and own communication rate information. This dynamic switching enables the system to select optimal relay apparatuses for different communication scenarios, improving efficiency while maintaining stability through controlled, information-based transitions.

AI summary
A local communication apparatus for communicating with another apparatus via a relay apparatus receives communication interface information that has been transmitted by the other apparatus, acquires information relating to the communication rate of the local apparatus, compares the received communication interface information with the acquired information relating to the communication rate of the local apparatus, and switches over a connection-destination relay apparatus based upon result of the comparison.
