Communication Unit Selection for Encrypted Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication, encrypted data transmission increases communication time and power consumption due to the need for encryption and decryption processes, which can be inefficient with existing technologies that do not prioritize communication speed during data transfer.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with multiple communication units of different speeds determines the fastest communication unit to use for encrypted data transmission, switching to it if necessary, to minimize communication time and power usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If encrypted data transmission is performed using conventional communication methods, then data security is improved, but communication time and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically selects communication units based on encryption requirements. The determination unit identifies when encrypted communication is needed and switches to a communication unit with faster speed, making the system adaptive rather than static in its communication approach
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the communication speed parameter by selecting different communication units. When encrypted communication is detected, the system transitions from using a standard communication unit to using a faster communication unit, thereby changing the speed parameter to compensate for encryption overhead
2Reliability
If encrypted data transmission is performed using conventional communication methods, then data security is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts power consumption by selecting communication units based on encryption needs. The determination unit triggers a switch to a faster communication unit when encrypted communication is required, optimizing the balance between security and energy efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the power consumption parameter indirectly by changing the communication speed parameter. Faster communication units are selected for encrypted data, which reduces the total time the communication system remains active and thus reduces overall power consumption
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication units of different speeds are available, then communication flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication units into different speed categories (faster and standard speed). The determination unit segments the decision-making process by identifying when encrypted communication is needed and selecting the appropriate communication unit based on this segmentation
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit acts as an intermediary between the encryption detection mechanism and the communication units. It receives information about encrypted communication requirements and mediates the selection of the appropriate communication unit, simplifying the overall system architecture
