Document Data Transmission Apparatus with Analysis Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission apparatuses fail to accurately transmit documents to appropriate destinations when destination information is not provided in a readable format, leading to potential misdirection of documents.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission apparatus that includes an acquisition unit for document data, an analysis unit to analyze the document data, a determination unit to identify destination candidates based on analysis results and stored information, and a transmission unit to transmit the data, with optional features like display, input, and learning capabilities to refine destination determination.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If destination information is read from the document, then the document can be transmitted to the specified destination, but the system fails when destination information is not provided in a readable format
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of the analysis unit and determination unit that mediates between the document data and the transmission destination. Instead of directly reading destination information from the document, the system analyzes document characteristics (such as content, format, or metadata) and determines the appropriate destination through this intermediary processing layer, enabling handling of documents without explicit destination information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically determining transmission destinations based on analysis of document data characteristics. The determination unit autonomously selects appropriate destinations without requiring manual input or pre-provided destination information, allowing the system to serve itself in inferring and executing transmission decisions based on the document's inherent properties.
2Productivity
If automatic transmission is implemented, then transmission efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases due to analysis and determination units
Solution Approach 1:
The analysis unit performs preliminary analysis of document data characteristics before transmission occurs. By pre-analyzing document properties such as content type, format, or metadata and storing these analysis results, the system prepares destination determination information in advance, enabling rapid automatic transmission decisions without requiring complex real-time processing during the actual transmission moment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a simplified representation or model of the document data characteristics through the analysis unit, which then serves as a copy or proxy for the actual complex document data. This analytical model (containing extracted features and characteristics) is what the determination unit processes to select destinations, separating the complexity of full document analysis from the transmission decision-making process.

AI summary
A transmission apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires document data; an analysis unit that analyzes the document data acquired by the acquisition unit; a storage unit that stores destination information in which a destination of the document data and information for transmission are associated with each other; a determination unit that determines, based on an analysis result of the analysis unit and the destination information stored in the storage unit, a candidate for the destination of the document data; a processing unit that executes processing based on the candidate; and a transmission unit that transmits, based on the processing, the document data.
