Information Processing Apparatus External Communication Cancellation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems between devices lack the ability to cancel established connections without relying on instructions from the device involved in the communication, potentially leading to unauthorized or unwanted communication.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a processor that cancels communication establishment between an external device and itself based on an instruction from a different device, allowing for the initiation of cancellation without the external device's involvement, using cancellation information to forcibly end communication or generate specific sounds or images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication cancellation relies on instructions from devices involved in the communication, then the communication system maintains device autonomy and simplicity, but it becomes vulnerable to unauthorized or unwanted communication that cannot be externally controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a third device as an intermediary that issues cancellation instructions to terminate communication between two other devices. This mediator device enables external control over communication establishment and cancellation, enhancing security without requiring the communicating devices themselves to have complex cancellation logic. The cancellation instruction from the third device acts as a mediator that resolves the contradiction by providing centralized control.
2Ease of operation
If the system allows external devices to cancel communication establishment, then communication control and security are improved, but the risk of unauthorized cancellation and system vulnerability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authentication and authorization mechanisms before allowing a third device to issue cancellation instructions. The system pre-establishes trust relationships and permissions, so that only authorized third devices can terminate communications. This preliminary action prevents unauthorized cancellation while maintaining the ease of operation for legitimate external control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the third device receiving a cancellation instruction verifies its authorization status and the validity of the request before executing the cancellation. This feedback loop ensures that unauthorized cancellation attempts are detected and rejected, while legitimate cancellation requests are processed smoothly, thus improving ease of operation for authorized users while preventing harmful factors.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to cancel establishment of communication between an external device and the information processing apparatus in accordance with an instruction to cancel the establishment of the communication. The instruction is sent to the information processing apparatus from another device that is different from the external device and the information processing apparatus.
