Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems experience delays in transmitting communication data after deriving results from external devices, leading to increased processing time.

Innovation Solution

A communication system and device configuration that allows for the selection and transmission of a selection solution based on communication results through separate communication channels, enabling pre-preparation of solutions before communication completion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If communication data is generated after the communication device derives the result through communication with an external device, then the communication process follows a standard sequential workflow, but the transmission time of communication data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication process reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication data transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The communication device performs preliminary actions by deriving the result and preparing communication data in advance during the first communication with the external device, before the actual communication task is completed. This allows the data to be ready for immediate transmission through the second communication channel, reducing the overall transmission time while maintaining process reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If the communication device transmits the derived result directly after processing, then the processing time is reduced, but the confidentiality of the communication data may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication processing speedVSAvoiddata confidentiality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary communication data that represents or encodes the derived result, rather than transmitting the raw result directly. This intermediary data maintains confidentiality while enabling rapid transmission through the second communication channel between the communication device and the control device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The communication device transforms the derived result into communication data by changing its parameters or form, creating an encoded representation that preserves confidentiality. This transformation allows the data to be transmitted quickly while maintaining security, as the original result cannot be directly inferred from the communicated data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

[Object] To provide a novel and improved communication system and communication device that make it possible to reduce an amount of time from when communication with an external device is completed to when communication data corresponding to a communication result is output to another device.[Solution] Provided is a communication system including: a communication device configured to transmit a selection solution that is selected depending on a result of first communication with an external device; and a control device configured to receive the selection solution from the communication device through second communication between the communication device and a communication partner that is different from the external device serving as a communication partner in the first communication.
