Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems, such as game machines, do not effectively combine the use of various input/output devices and wireless communication functions, leading to inefficient wireless connection utilization.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that incorporates a card with a first wireless communication part and a game machine with a second wireless communication part, a processing part, and a restriction part, where the restriction part allows data transmission and reception based on specific conditions related to input information, device presence, and processing results, ensuring optimal communication and processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless communication function is always permitted, then communication convenience is improved, but communication reliability deteriorates due to unauthorized or inappropriate communication
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the wireless communication state changeable rather than fixed. The restriction part dynamically adjusts the communication permission status based on detected conditions (such as device presence, processing state, or user input), allowing the system to transition between permitted and restricted states to balance convenience and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by having the restriction part continuously monitor system conditions (such as whether a card is present, processing state, or input conditions) and adjust the communication permission accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures communication is permitted only when appropriate conditions are met, improving reliability while maintaining convenience when conditions are satisfied
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple input/output devices and wireless communication are used independently, then device functionality is maintained, but system efficiency deteriorates due to lack of integration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges previously independent functions by integrating wireless communication with input/output device operations through the restriction part. The restriction part combines conditions from multiple sources (device presence, processing state, user input) to make unified communication decisions, creating a coordinated system that improves efficiency while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The restriction part serves multiple functions simultaneously: it monitors device presence, evaluates processing conditions, receives user input, and controls communication permission. This multi-functional component enables the system to efficiently coordinate various input/output devices with wireless communication, improving overall system productivity

AI summary
A game machine 1, in accordance with input of the attitude of the game machine 1 detected by an attitude detection part 25, restricts communication with an IC tag 50 of a card 5 performed by a short-distance wireless communication part 21. Further, a configuration may be employed that information stored in the IC tag 50 is allowed to be rewritten and that in accordance with a result of receiving of a signal from a satellite through a GPS receiving part 24, the game machine 1 restricts transmission of a write command performed by the short-distance wireless communication part 21. Further, the game machine 1 may be constructed such that depending on a situation whether the IC tag 50 of the card 5 has been detected within a communication area of the short-distance wireless communication part 21, a restriction processing part 31 restricts startup of a camera 22.
