Communication Apparatus Preliminary Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
After establishing a wireless connection with an external device, existing technologies fail to properly manage data transmission and reception processing, leading to wasted connection efforts if data transfer is not successful.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus that transmits transmission data-related information before joining a wireless network, receives a response, and then establishes communication, allowing for proper data transmission and reception processing by determining the data to be sent after network joining.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wireless connection is established before determining transmission data, then connection processing can be completed, but data transmission may fail and connection efforts are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitting unit transmits transmission data-related information (such as file type, size, or format) to the external device before the communication apparatus joins the wireless network. This preliminary action allows the external device to prepare and respond with compatibility confirmation, ensuring that data transmission can proceed successfully after connection establishment, thereby preventing wasted connection efforts.
2Productivity
If transmission data-related information is transmitted after joining wireless network, then network connection is established, but data compatibility cannot be confirmed in advance
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving unit receives a response from the external device regarding the transmitted transmission data-related information. This feedback mechanism allows the communication apparatus to determine whether the external device can properly receive and process the intended data before committing to full data transmission, thereby ensuring both efficiency and reliability.
3Ease of operation
If data transmission processing is performed without preliminary data specification, then connection can be established quickly, but transmission and reception cannot be performed properly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary transmission of data-related information and receives confirmation response before establishing the wireless connection. This preliminary action ensures that both devices are compatible and ready for data transmission, making the overall process more reliable while maintaining ease of operation through automated background processing.

AI summary
A communication apparatus capable of transmitting data to an external device transmits transmission data-related information relating to data to be transmitted to the external device before joining a wireless network, receives a response from the external device after the transmission data-related information has been transmitted, joins a wireless network after the response has been received, and, after joining a wireless network, establishes communication with the external device so that data can be transmitted, and first information is transmitted as the transmission data-related information before the transmission data to be transmitted to the external device is determined.
