Controller Selecting Communication System via Priority Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems between electronic apparatuses lack the ability to dynamically select the most suitable communication method based on system priority information, leading to suboptimal performance in terms of speed, power consumption, and usability.
Innovation Solution
A controller and electronic apparatus system that can selectively communicate through multiple communication systems, with the controller acquiring system priority information from the electronic apparatus to determine the best communication method, allowing seamless operation and enhanced user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If communication is performed through multiple communication systems, then communication flexibility and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus autonomously generates system priority information based on its own operational state and communicates this to the controller. The controller automatically selects the appropriate communication system based on received priority information without requiring user intervention or complex manual configuration, thereby improving adaptability while keeping the control logic relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic apparatus pre-generates system priority information indicating the desired communication system selection before actual communication occurs. This allows the controller to make informed selection decisions in advance, simplifying the real-time control logic while maintaining high adaptability to different communication scenarios.
2Productivity
If system priority information is used to select communication systems, then communication efficiency is improved, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus extracts and communicates only the essential system priority information needed for communication system selection, rather than transmitting all operational parameters. This minimizes information processing load on the controller while still enabling efficient communication system selection based on the apparatus's state.
3Ease of operation
If automatic communication system selection is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus self-determines its communication priorities and communicates this information to the controller. The controller then automatically selects the communication system based on this priority information without requiring user awareness or intervention, greatly simplifying operation for the user while keeping the control logic relatively straightforward.

AI summary
A controller includes: a communication section configured to be selectively communicable with an electronic apparatus through a first communication system or a second communication system, and configured to acquire system priority information from the electronic apparatus by communicating with the electronic apparatus through the first communication system, the electronic apparatus being capable of executing one or a plurality of functions; and a control section configured to select one of the first communication system and the second communication system, based on the system priority information, and configured to instruct the communication section to communicate with the electronic apparatus through the selected communication system.
