Hybrid Information Processing Device for Offline-Online Migration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face challenges in smoothly migrating from offline to online states, particularly when transitioning from value storage type systems to ID management type systems, as they often require separate devices and environments, leading to service disruptions and temporary inability to use online services during migration.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system and device that include a processing unit capable of executing both service information and identification information processing, with a determination unit to handle requests and invalidate functions based on external requests, allowing for a hybrid system that can perform both offline and online payments with synchronization, facilitating smooth migration by using a hybrid-type card and reader/writer that can switch between modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a system migration from offline to online is performed using separate devices and environments, then the migration can be completed, but service disruptions occur and users cannot use online services during migration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges offline and online information processing functions into a single hybrid information processing device. The device contains both a first information processing unit for offline processing using service information and a second information processing unit for online processing using identification information, allowing seamless transition and service continuity during migration without requiring separate devices
Solution Approach 2:
The hybrid information processing device is designed with multi-functionality to perform both offline processing (using service information stored in recording medium) and online processing (using identification information stored in recording medium). This universal device can adapt to different operating modes, eliminating the need for separate offline and online devices and ensuring service availability throughout the migration process
2Adaptability or versatility
If both offline and online processing functions are integrated in the same device, then service continuity is maintained during migration, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hybrid information processing device is segmented into distinct functional units: a first information processing unit for offline processing, a second information processing unit for online processing, and a determination unit for selecting between them. This segmentation allows each unit to be optimized independently while working together, managing complexity through modular functional separation
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit acts as an intermediary that receives requests from external devices and determines whether to execute offline or online processing based on the request type. This mediator coordinates between the two processing units and external devices, simplifying the overall device structure by providing a centralized decision-making layer rather than requiring complex direct interactions between all components

AI summary
The present invention relates to the provision of an information processing device that can smoothly perform the migration of a system. An information processing device includes a processing unit including a first function of executing processing that uses service information stored in a recording medium, and a second function of executing processing that uses identification information regarding a service that is stored in a recording medium, and a determination unit configured to determine processing to be executed by the processing unit, on the basis of a request from an external device. In the information processing device, the processing unit executes processing determined on the basis of the request, and the first function is invalidated on the basis of an invalidation request from an external device.
