Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If communication is performed directly between two information processing devices, then communication efficiency is improved, but communication stability deteriorates when connection conditions change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic switching between direct communication mode and indirect communication mode based on connection conditions. The system monitors connection status and automatically transitions between communication paths to maintain stability while optimizing for efficiency when direct connection is available.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a third information processing device as an intermediary to enable indirect communication when direct communication is unavailable or unstable. This intermediary device facilitates data transmission between the first and second devices, ensuring communication continuity and stability.
2Reliability
If communication mode switching is implemented between direct and indirect modes, then communication stability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements autonomous communication mode selection where the system automatically monitors connection conditions and switches between direct and indirect communication modes without requiring manual intervention. The third device independently determines when to act as an intermediary based on detected connection status.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where communication devices continuously monitor connection conditions and use this information to automatically adjust communication mode. The system receives feedback about connection stability and efficiency, then dynamically adapts its communication path selection.
3Speed
If direct communication is used between devices, then data transmission speed is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically selects communication paths based on power consumption requirements. When battery power is limited or power saving is prioritized, the system automatically transitions from direct communication to indirect communication through a third device, balancing speed requirements with energy conservation.

AI summary
Appropriate control is performed when communication is performed between a plurality of information processing devices. An information processing device performs real-time image transmission with another information processing device according to a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast specification. The information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit performs control such that setting request information for performing a setting related to the real-time image transmission is received from the other information processing device via an access point. The control unit performs control such that a setting request for performing the setting based on the setting request information is transmitted to the other information processing device through direct communication.
