Data Acquisition Division Size Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information processing apparatuses face increased time requirements when retrying to acquire divided data, as the process becomes longer with more divisions.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus includes processors that, upon failing to acquire data, divide it into parts with an initial division size and incrementally increase this size stepwise for repeated acquisition attempts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is divided into smaller parts for retry acquisition, then the reliability of data acquisition is improved, but the time required for acquisition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the division size adjustable rather than fixed. The processor dynamically changes the division size based on acquisition results: when acquisition succeeds, the original larger division size is maintained; when it fails, the division size is reduced stepwise for retry attempts. This dynamic adjustment optimizes the balance between reliability and time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of division size based on acquisition outcomes. The processor monitors whether data acquisition succeeds or fails and adjusts the division size parameter accordingly. This parameter change allows the system to adapt to different acquisition conditions, reducing time loss while maintaining reliability.
2Measurement precision
If data is divided into more parts for retry, then the granularity of error handling is improved, but the complexity of the acquisition process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing data into multiple parts when acquisition fails. The processor segments the data based on the current division size parameter, allowing targeted retry of specific divisions rather than retransmitting all data. This improves error handling precision while the dynamic adjustment of division size prevents excessive segmentation that would increase complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic adjustment of division size prevents excessive segmentation. The processor only reduces division size when necessary (upon acquisition failure) and maintains larger divisions when successful, thereby controlling process complexity while preserving error detection precision when needed.
