An information processing apparatus that determines which device to execute a process based on the functions and positions of interconnected devices, using a control unit to analyze positional and functional information for optimal process allocation and management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If radio communication technologies are used to exchange information autonomously within range, then communication flexibility is improved, but device coordination and process allocation efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit continuously receives positional information from other devices and feedback about their functions, then dynamically adjusts process allocation decisions. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to changing device positions and capabilities while maintaining efficient process distribution across the network
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically determines which device executes each process based on real-time positional information and functional capabilities. Rather than static assignment, the process allocation adapts as devices move or change capabilities, optimizing efficiency while preserving communication flexibility
2Productivity
If device functions and positions are considered for process allocation, then process execution efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each device autonomously determines whether it should execute a received process or relay it to another device by evaluating its own functional capabilities and positional information. This self-service approach distributes the decision-making complexity across individual devices rather than requiring a centralized complex control system
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the process allocation decision into discrete evaluable factors: functional capability matching and positional suitability. By breaking down the complex allocation problem into these separate criteria, the system achieves efficient process execution without overwhelming system complexity

AI summary
An information processing device that includes circuitry that stores first function information indicating at least a function of the information processing device; receives second function information indicating at least a function of another information processing device, and second positional information indicating a second positional of the another information processing device; determines a function to be performed from among the function of the information processing device and the function of the another information processing device, based on the first function information, the second function information, and the second positional information; performs the determined function in a case that the determined function is a function of the information processing device; and transmits a request to perform the determined function in a case that the determined function is a function of the another information processing device.
