Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack the ability to reflect the sender's intention in data communication, leading to unintended endless data transmission between portable devices.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating setting, transmission, reception, and transfer determination means within information processing apparatuses to control data transfer based on set transfer information, allowing for controlled data communication that respects the sender's intentions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic transmission is performed when information processing apparatuses come close to each other, then data communication convenience is improved, but endless data transmission occurs and sender's intention cannot be reflected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by setting transfer information (including transfer destination, number of transfers, and transfer period) before data transmission occurs. This allows the system to automatically control data flow while respecting the sender's intended boundaries, preventing endless transmission while maintaining automatic communication convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the receiving apparatus notifies the transmitting apparatus about data reception status, and the transmitting apparatus tracks the number of transfers and time elapsed. This feedback loop ensures that automatic transmission stops when the predetermined conditions (transfer count or time period) are met, thereby reflecting the sender's intention accurately.
2Speed
If data is transmitted without transfer information settings, then transmission speed is improved, but data cannot be controlled within a certain range
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds transfer information (transfer destination address, number of transfers, transfer period) directly into the data before transmission. This preliminary configuration allows the data to be automatically routed and controlled without requiring real-time intervention, maintaining transmission speed while enabling precise range control through the predetermined transfer parameters.
3Manufacturing precision
If transfer information is set for each data transmission, then data communication control precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the transfer control information with the data itself, creating a unified data structure that contains both the payload and the transfer instructions (destination, transfer count, time period). This integration allows precise control of each data transmission while avoiding the need for separate complex control systems, as the data carries its own control instructions.
Data Source
AI summary
A CPU checks the number of times of transfer of reception data. Then, the CPU determines whether the number of times of transfer is greater than 0 or not. When it is determined that the number of times of transfer is greater than 0, the number of times of transfer is updated. Then, when it is determined that a transfer condition is satisfied, the CPU allows the reception data of which number of times of transfer has been updated to be copied and stored in a transmission BOX. When reception data satisfying the transfer condition (having a value of the number of times of transfer greater than 0) is received, that reception data will be copied and stored in the transmission BOX. Namely, since the reception data is stored in the transmission BOX, the reception data will be transmitted further to another game device.
