Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a transmission device is replaced due to faults or product lifespan, then device reliability is improved, but the learning result is lost and unnecessary power consumption occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the transmission device output its internal state information (learning results) before being replaced. The state information is stored in a storage device, so when a replacement device is introduced, it can immediately acquire and utilize the pre-stored learning results, avoiding the need to重新 learn and consume power unnecessarily.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a storage device as an intermediary between the transmission device and the replacement device. The storage device stores the internal state information output by the transmission device, and the replacement device acquires this information from the storage device. This intermediary mechanism enables the transfer of learning results across device replacements without direct device-to-device communication.
2Ease of repair
If a transmission device is replaced, then device maintenance is improved, but learning results are not handed over and power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Before the transmission device is replaced for maintenance, it outputs its internal state information which is stored in advance in a storage device. This preliminary action ensures that when the replacement device is installed, the learning results are already available, eliminating the need for the new device to consume power during an initial learning period.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the internal state information (learning results) from the transmission device and stores it in an external storage device. The replacement device then acquires this copied information, effectively replicating the knowledge state of the original device without requiring the replacement device to learn from scratch, thus reducing power consumption.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If the transmission device is replaced with another device, then device continuity is improved, but the learning result is not transferred and adaptation time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission device outputs its internal state information before replacement, and this information is stored in advance in a storage device. When the replacement device is introduced, it immediately acquires the pre-stored learning results, achieving seamless continuity without any adaptation time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
A storage device serves as an intermediary that preserves the internal state information across device replacements. The replacement device acquires the learning results from this intermediary storage device, ensuring continuous operation with immediate adaptation and eliminating any downtime or adaptation period.

AI summary
A communication device includes an internal state acquisition unit configured to acquire internal state information indicating an internal state of a first device from the first device, which is a device separate from the communication device, an internal state storage unit configured to store the acquired internal state information, a calculation unit configured to perform a process based on the stored internal state information, and an internal state output unit configured to output the internal state information stored in the internal state storage unit to a second device, which is a device separate from the first device, at a predetermined handover timing.
