Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses face difficulties in collectively changing multiple parameters in external devices, as altering one parameter can affect others, making it challenging to perform complex settings efficiently.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus equipped with an instruction unit and a sending unit that sends control signals to change parameters in a predetermined order, allowing for simultaneous modification of multiple parameters without disrupting subordinate relationships.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple parameters are changed simultaneously in the external apparatus, then the setting operation becomes simpler and more efficient, but the parameter relationships may be disrupted causing incorrect settings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the parameter changing process by sending control signals multiple times according to different parameter types. Each control signal changes one type of parameter, dividing the complex multi-parameter setting into manageable sequential steps that maintain parameter relationships while achieving collective parameter changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary classification of parameters into different types before sending control signals. By预先 categorizing parameters and determining the correct sequence, the system ensures that parameter relationships are maintained while enabling efficient collective setting operations.
2Reliability
If parameters are changed one by one in sequential order, then parameter relationships are maintained, but the setting process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple parameter changes into a single collective operation by sending multiple control signals in sequence. Instead of requiring separate user operations for each parameter, the system combines them into one automated process that maintains reliability while reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous automated parameter setting by sending control signals sequentially without interruption. The system maintains the setting operation in continuous flow, eliminating idle time between parameter changes while ensuring each parameter is set in the correct order.
3Productivity
If all parameters are sent in a single control signal, then communication efficiency is improved, but the complexity of managing parameter dependencies increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments parameters into different types and sends them in separate control signals. This segmentation reduces the complexity of managing parameter dependencies within a single signal while maintaining overall communication efficiency through automated sequential transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of parameters by sending control signals in a predetermined order based on parameter types. This approach manages parameter complexity by transforming the setting process into a structured sequence of parameter state changes rather than handling all parameters simultaneously.
