Controller Communication Switching for Direct and Home LAN Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems do not account for the difference in operation when the radio device and controller are connected via a communication network versus a direct connection, leading to potential issues and the need for manual setting operations.
Innovation Solution
A communication system with a controller and a communication processing device that automatically determines the connection mode (direct or via a network) and adjusts processes accordingly, enabling seamless operation without manual settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the controller and communication processing device are separated and connected via communication network, then the system provides remote control capability and flexibility, but the system complexity increases and manual setting operations are required
Solution Approach 1:
The controller automatically detects the connection mode (direct connection or network connection) and autonomously determines the appropriate communication processing method without requiring manual user configuration. The system self-adapts to the connection scenario, eliminating the need for users to manually set up communication parameters or configure connection types.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller changes its operational parameters based on the detected connection mode. When network connection is detected, the controller switches to network-based communication processing; when direct connection is detected, it uses direct communication processing. This dynamic parameter adjustment allows the system to handle different connection scenarios automatically.
2Ease of operation
If the controller and communication processing device are directly connected via communication cable, then the connection is simple and direct, but the system cannot provide remote control functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed to handle multiple connection modes universally. It can operate in direct connection mode for simple local communication and in network connection mode for remote control scenarios. The same controller unit supports both connection types through automatic detection and appropriate processing method selection, making the system multi-functional without requiring separate devices for each mode.
3Ease of operation
If the system automatically detects connection mode, then manual setting operations are eliminated and usability improves, but the detection and determination process adds complexity to the controller
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs automatic connection mode detection and communication method selection without user intervention. The system monitors its own connection state and autonomously determines the appropriate processing method, eliminating the need for users to manually configure connection parameters or settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller preliminarily detects the connection mode before initiating communication processing. By determining the connection type (direct or network) in advance, the controller can pre-configure the appropriate communication parameters and processing methods, ensuring smooth operation without requiring manual setup or configuration by the user.

AI summary
A radio communication system includes a radio processing device and a controller. The radio processing device includes a second communication control section performing communication with the controller. The controller includes a first communication control section which determines, after starting communication with the radio processing device, whether connection with the radio processing device is direct connection by a communication cable or connection via a home LAN and which performs a process according to a determination result.
