Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing methods struggle to easily evaluate the communication state of devices due to the complexity of analyzing packets across different protocol layers, particularly in network protocol and transport layers, where binary data and specific formats are used, making it difficult to analyze communication content effectively.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method that involves obtaining communication data between devices, creating test programs based on this data, and executing them to generate performance results, allowing for the evaluation of communication states by comparing differences between various test programs, thereby optimizing communication and facilitating device development.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If packets are used in a range of differing layers such as network protocol layer and transport layer with binary data and specific formats, then communication testing coverage is improved, but analysis of communication content becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a test program as an intermediary that automatically analyzes packet data across different protocol layers. The test program contains evaluation conditions that systematically examine communication content, making the analysis process automated and easier to perform while maintaining comprehensive testing coverage across network protocol layer, transport layer, and other layers.
2Measurement precision
If manual analysis of packet data is performed, then detailed communication state evaluation is possible, but automation and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The test program is designed to automatically perform evaluation conditions and generate results without requiring manual intervention. The system self-services by automatically analyzing packet data, comparing communication states, and producing evaluation outcomes, thereby achieving both high automation and precise communication state evaluation simultaneously.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive packet analysis across multiple protocol layers is performed, then communication state evaluation accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the analysis process into distinct evaluation conditions within the test program, each targeting specific protocol layers or communication aspects. This segmentation allows comprehensive multi-layer packet analysis to be broken down into manageable, organized evaluation steps, improving accuracy while reducing processing complexity through structured organization.
