Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional radio control models face challenges in smoothly switching between multiple transmitting devices, leading to difficulties in maintaining continuous operation and potentially increasing the risk of crashes due to unreliable signal reception and long non-operation states.
Innovation Solution
A communication control device with a switching processing unit that allows for seamless switching of operation signals between receiving devices, based on specific operation signals, reception states, and duration of unreceivable signals, enabling bidirectional communication and information transmission to manage reception levels and prevent confusion during operator transitions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If frequency hopping is performed in communication with the transmitting device, then the radio control model can potentially receive operation signals from different transmitting devices, but the signal reception level becomes unreliable and the switching process takes too long causing non-operation states
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device performs frequency hopping in advance to search for and store frequency bands where transmitting devices are present before actual operation begins. This preliminary frequency search and storage action ensures that when switching between operators is needed, the receiving device can immediately switch to a pre-identified frequency band without prolonged non-operation states, thus maintaining signal reception reliability while enabling multi-device adaptability
2Length of moving object
If the radio control model moves away from the operator after linking to a transmitting device, then the flight range is extended, but the link cannot be cancelled and changed to another transmitting device
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device performs frequency hopping in advance to search for and store frequency bands where multiple transmitting devices are present before actual operation begins. This preliminary frequency search and storage action ensures that when the model moves away from the original operator, the receiving device can immediately switch to a pre-identified frequency band associated with another transmitting device, thus enabling adaptability while maintaining continuous operation throughout the extended flight range
3Adaptability or versatility
If the radio control model searches for a frequency band to communicate with another transmitting device, then it can potentially switch operators, but the non-operation state becomes longer increasing crash risk
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device performs frequency hopping in advance to search for and store frequency bands where transmitting devices are present before actual operation begins. This preliminary frequency search and storage action ensures that when switching between operators is needed, the receiving device can immediately switch to a pre-identified frequency band without prolonged non-operation states, thus minimizing time loss while maintaining adaptability

AI summary
A communication control device is used for a radio control model equipped with a plurality of receiving devices configured to receive operation signals from corresponding transmitting devices and a drive control device configured to perform drive control with respect to a driving target based on the operation signals. The communication control device includes an input unit for inputting signals including the operation signals from the receiving devices, and a switching processing unit for performing a process of switching an operation signal to be transmitted to the drive control device from any one of the operation signals inputted by the receiving devices to another operation signal.
