Communication Apparatus Batch Data Download API Load Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication apparatuses face high loads and inefficiencies when downloading and outputting electronic data from electronic-data storing services, as they require frequent processes to acquire download information, affecting both the apparatus and the network communication path.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus and relay apparatus system that acquires and downloads a large amount of electronic data in batches, then outputs a smaller portion at a time, reducing the load on the communication path and the electronic-data storing service by using APIs to manage the data transfer efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the communication apparatus downloads and outputs electronic data in small batches using APIs, then the load on the communication apparatus and electronic-data storing service is reduced, but the time required to output the first amount of electronic data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication apparatus performs preliminary actions by acquiring download information for the first amount of electronic data in advance, then downloads the second amount of data that can be output at one time. This preliminary acquisition of download information reduces the need for repeated API calls during the output process, thereby reducing overall load while maintaining efficient data output.
2Productivity
If the communication apparatus downloads the first amount of electronic data using acquired download information, then the number of API processes is reduced, but the amount of data that must be managed and processed increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication apparatus segments the first amount of electronic data into a second amount that can be output at one time. By dividing the large data volume into manageable batches, the system reduces the number of API processes needed while maintaining efficient data handling. The apparatus downloads the segmented second amount using previously acquired download information, optimizing both productivity and data management.
