Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems face challenges in optimizing wireless resource allocation for terminals in indoor environments without requiring additional facility equipment functions, particularly in pinpointing wireless resource allocation corresponding to physical locations.
Innovation Solution
A communication control device and method that utilize location metadata sources, such as sensors or GPS, to estimate the location of communication terminals and allocate communication resources accordingly, using low-layer communication protocols for real-time and accurate location tracking, enabling precise resource allocation without adding functions to facility equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If visible light modulation function is added to light source and visible light reception function is added to terminal, then precise control for each physical location is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces location metadata as an intermediary element that mediates between the terminal's physical location and the communication control device. Instead of directly using complex visible light modulation, the system uses location metadata (which can be obtained from various sources including GPS, Wi-Fi triangulation, or sensor data) as a bridge to enable precise location-based control without requiring additional facility equipment functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of location information through location metadata that represents the terminal's physical position. This metadata copy can be processed by the communication control device to determine optimal resource allocation without needing the actual physical light modulation mechanisms, thereby achieving precise control through information representation rather than direct physical manipulation.
2Ease of operation
If WiSMA controls only logical connection configuration based on MAC address, then control simplicity is maintained, but precise control for each physical location cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the control dimension from purely logical (MAC address-based) to spatio-logical by incorporating location metadata. This adds a spatial dimension to the existing logical connection configuration, enabling the system to distinguish between terminals based on both their logical identifiers and their physical locations, thereby achieving precise physical location control while maintaining operational simplicity through automated location-based resource allocation.

AI summary
To solve the above problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a communication control device, a communication control method, a communication system, and a program that do not require addition of a function to facility equipment, for communication resource allocation corresponding to a physical location of a terminal indoors.The communication system includes a location metadata source (26, 27) in an arbitrary area 5 and a communication control device 35. The communication control device 35 includes: a reception unit 31 that receives information of the location metadata source (26, 27) from a communication terminal 10 in the arbitrary area 5; and a controller 30 that calculates a location of the communication terminal 10 in the arbitrary area 5 on the basis of the information of the location metadata source (26, 27) and allocates a communication resource depending on the location of the communication terminal 10.
