Communication Apparatus Preliminary Data Viability Check
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
After establishing a connection with an external device via a wireless layer, existing systems often waste resources due to unsuccessful data transmission and reception, as they only confirm proper communication after the connection is established.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus that specifies an external device for data transmission, receives related information, determines if data should be transmitted, and only joins the wireless network if the determination is affirmative, thereby reducing wasteful connection processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the communication apparatus joins the wireless network after specifying an external device, then the connection processing can be established, but wasteful connection processing is executed when data transmission cannot be performed properly
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit performs preliminary determination about whether data transmission should be executed before the communication apparatus joins the wireless network. This preliminary action checks if the specified external device is appropriate for data transmission, preventing wasteful connection processing energy consumption when transmission is not needed or cannot be performed properly.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by determining whether to receive data based on related information before joining the network. If the determination is negative, the apparatus prevents the harmful action of establishing a connection that would lead to unsuccessful data transmission, thereby counteracting potential waste before it occurs.
2Ease of operation
If the communication apparatus joins the wireless network to establish connection, then communication can be established with external device, but time is wasted when transmission and reception cannot be performed properly
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit performs preliminary assessment using related information before the communication apparatus joins the wireless network. This preliminary action evaluates whether data transmission should proceed, preventing time waste from establishing connections that would fail to transmit data properly.
3Productivity
If the communication apparatus performs connection processing with external device, then wireless communication can be established, but resources are wasted when data transmission fails
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit executes preliminary determination about data transmission necessity before the communication apparatus joins the wireless network. This preliminary action prevents resource waste by avoiding connection processing when data transmission cannot be performed properly, thereby improving overall data transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit uses related information received from the external device to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with data transmission. This feedback mechanism allows the communication apparatus to assess the viability of data transmission before committing resources to connection processing.

AI summary
A method for controlling a communication apparatus, includes specifying, before joining a wireless network, an external device that will be a data transmitting source, receiving related information relating to data to be transmitted from the specified external device, determining whether to receive the data to be transmitted based on the received related information, joining a wireless network when it is determined to receive the data to be transmitted, and receiving the data to be transmitted from the specified external device after joining the wireless network.
