Common Bus Addressing for Rapid Multi-Slave Installation Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems for host devices with multiple slave devices require lengthy installation status checks, leading to slow response speeds and increased user wait times due to sequential polling of each slave device.
Innovation Solution
Implement a communication method where a host device sends a setting instruction with a common communication address, allowing multiple slave devices to respond simultaneously, forming comprehensive response information for rapid installation status determination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the host device sequentially polls each slave device to determine installation status, then the host device can obtain installation information from each slave device, but the detection time is extended and response speed is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the installation status detection of multiple slave devices into a single parallel operation. Instead of sequentially polling each slave device, the host device simultaneously sends detection instructions to multiple slave devices through different communication addresses, and collects their response information in parallel, thereby significantly reducing detection time while maintaining detection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the detection process by assigning different communication addresses to different slave devices, allowing the host device to simultaneously target multiple slave devices with distinct detection instructions. This segmentation enables parallel processing of detection operations across multiple devices without interference
2Measurement precision
If the host device sequentially determines installation status of each slave device, then the host device can accurately identify each slave device's status, but the response speed of the host device becomes slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple installation status detection operations into a single parallel execution. The host device simultaneously sends detection instructions to multiple slave devices and collects their response information in one operation, maintaining accurate identification of each slave device's status while dramatically improving response speed
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple slave devices are connected to the communication bus, then the functionality of the host device is enriched, but the time required for installation status detection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the detection operations for multiple slave devices into a single parallel execution. The host device simultaneously sends detection instructions to all connected slave devices through their respective communication addresses and collects response information in one operation, enabling the system to maintain rich functionality while reducing detection time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal detection mechanism that can simultaneously handle multiple slave devices with different functions. The host device uses a unified detection instruction structure that works across all slave devices, allowing the system to support diverse functionalities without increasing detection time

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an information processing device, consumables and a communication method. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the host device sends a setting instruction including a common communication address through a preset communication address of a communication bus, and obtain comprehensive response information based on an information acquisition request sent on the communication bus toward the common communication address. According to the comprehensive response information, the installation status of at least two slave devices connected to the communication bus may be determined, thereby shortening the detection time and improving the response speed of the host device.
