Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems involving mobile terminals, MFPs, and access points, the processing load is high when both connections with an access point and the MFP are established without the access point, as the system must maintain simultaneous wireless communications using different networks, leading to increased computational demands.
Innovation Solution
A communication device that receives signals indicating the establishment of wireless connections, determines if communication via an access point is executable, and accordingly disconnects or maintains connections to optimize processing by prioritizing either access point or MFP connections based on availability and usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If both wireless connection with access point and wireless connection with external device without access point are established, then communication versatility is improved, but processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the connection configuration adjustable and flexible. The communication device can dynamically switch between different connection modes (via access point or without access point) based on real-time conditions. The system allows dynamic reconfiguration of wireless connections, enabling the device to adapt its connectivity strategy to minimize processing load while maintaining communication versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes operational parameters by modifying connection establishment conditions. Instead of maintaining both connections simultaneously, the system changes the parameter of connection configuration by establishing connections selectively based on detected conditions. When wireless communication without access point is detected, the system changes the connection state to disconnect the access point connection, thereby reducing processing load while preserving the ability to communicate.
2Reliability
If wireless communication via access point is established, then communication reliability is improved, but processing load increases when both connections are active
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the wireless communication state and using this information to adjust connection configurations. When the system detects that wireless communication is established without access point, it receives feedback about this state and accordingly disconnects the access point connection. This feedback mechanism ensures the system maintains reliable communication while avoiding the processing burden of managing redundant connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing connections in a predetermined sequence and preparing for potential disconnection. The system first establishes the wireless connection with the external device, then preliminarily determines whether the access point connection is needed. By preparing the disconnection action in advance based on detected conditions, the system ensures reliable communication pathways are maintained while proactively reducing processing load before it becomes a burden.
3Stability of the object's composition
If connection with access point is maintained, then network stability is improved, but computational burden increases when both connection types are active
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the unnecessary connection component by removing the access point connection when wireless communication without access point is established. Instead of maintaining both connections and managing their interactions, the system extracts and disconnects the redundant access point connection, thereby reducing computational burden while preserving network stability through the primary communication pathway.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary determination of connection necessity before full operational engagement. When wireless communication is established without access point, the system preliminarily identifies that the access point connection is not needed and prepares to disconnect it. This preliminary action prevents the computational burden of managing both connections simultaneously while ensuring network stability is maintained through the active communication pathway.

AI summary
A communication device may receive a predetermined signal from an external device in a situation where a specific wireless connection not via an access point is being established, determine whether a wireless communication via a first access point is executable with the external device, and supply a first disconnection instruction in a case where it is determined that the wireless communication via the first access point is executable with the external device. The communication device may execute the wireless communication with the external device using the first wireless connection in the case where it is determined that the wireless communication via the first access point is executable with the external device and execute a wireless communication with the external device using the specific wireless connection in the case where it is determined that the wireless communication via the first access point is not executable with the external device.
