Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication techniques for group formation in information processing devices are inefficient, leading to prolonged processing times when large numbers of devices are involved, necessitating a rapid group formation process.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device equipped with a wireless communication unit and control unit that facilitates rapid group formation by exchanging capability information, frequency channel information, and data transmission band details between devices, allowing for efficient group reconfiguration and formation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a large number of information processing devices form a group using existing wireless communication techniques, then the group can be formed with complete capability information exchange, but the processing time becomes long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having devices pre-establish their capability information (supportable functions, data transmission bands, frequency channels) before group formation occurs. When a group is formed, devices that have already performed group formation can immediately share their pre-prepared capability information with new devices, eliminating the need for time-consuming capability exchange processes during actual group formation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the capability information exchange process into two distinct phases: (1) preliminary capability information preparation and storage by individual devices, and (2) rapid sharing of this pre-prepared information during group formation. This segmentation allows the time-consuming capability preparation to occur independently and in advance, while group formation itself remains fast.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a large number of information processing devices are involved in group formation, then the network coverage and functionality are improved, but the processing time increases in accordance with the number of devices
Solution Approach 1:
Devices perform preliminary actions by pre-configuring and storing their capability information including supported functions, data transmission bands, and frequency channels before participating in group formation. This allows large-scale networks to form quickly as devices can immediately share their pre-prepared capability data without time-consuming negotiation processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs copying by having devices replicate and share their capability information with other devices in the network. Instead of each device performing independent capability discovery with every other device, capability information is copied and distributed throughout the network, allowing rapid group formation even as network size increases.

AI summary
To perform a process related to group formation rapidly. An information processing device includes a wireless communication and a control unit. The wireless communication unit is a wireless communication unit configured to interchange a stream for outputting image information from a first information processing device by using wireless communication, the first information processing device belonging to a first group to which one or more information processing devices including the own device belong. In addition, The control unit is a control unit configured to perform control such that capability information regarding the one or more information processing devices is exchanged with a second information processing device belonging to a second group which is a new group other than the first group when the second group is formed.
