Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional communication systems for illuminating devices, such as those used in photography and stereoscopic video, face challenges in achieving rapid response times due to synchronization requirements and low throughput, making them unsuitable for applications needing immediate processing of supplementary light.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device with a receiving unit that processes information containing processing content and identification information, allowing initial processing to commence upon receiving start information, and subsequent processing only if identification and error conditions are met, thereby optimizing the timing and efficiency of light illumination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the receiving device waits to receive the entire request signal before executing processing, then synchronization between transmitting and receiving devices is maintained, but the response time and throughput are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesynchronizationVSAvoidthroughput
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving device executes initial processing based on initial information received before the entire request signal is fully received. This preliminary action allows processing to start earlier, improving throughput while maintaining synchronization through subsequent correction steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The request signal is divided into initial information and additional information. The receiving device processes the initial information immediately to start processing early, then receives and applies additional information to correct or complete the processing, thereby improving throughput without sacrificing synchronization reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the receiving device executes processing immediately upon receiving initial information, then throughput is improved, but processing accuracy may be compromised due to incomplete information

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidprocessing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving device uses feedback from the additional information received later to correct the initial processing results. This feedback mechanism ensures that processing accuracy is maintained or improved while still benefiting from the early start provided by preliminary processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving device performs preliminary processing based on initial information to improve throughput, then receives additional information to refine and correct the processing results, ensuring accuracy is not compromised despite early execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system waits for complete information reception before starting processing, then processing accuracy is ensured, but response time is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing accuracyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving device performs preliminary processing as soon as initial information is received, reducing response time. Subsequent reception of additional information allows for correction and refinement of the processing results, ensuring accuracy is maintained despite the earlier start.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The information is segmented into initial and additional parts. Processing based on initial information starts immediately to reduce response time, while additional information is processed subsequently to ensure and improve processing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An information processing device includes: a receiving unit that receives information to be processed that includes valid data, that has processing content information and identification information, and start information; and a control unit that controls an apparatus such that an initial processing is executed on the basis of the processing content information, and, if the identification information is included in the information to be processed, controls the apparatus such that processing that follows the initial processing is executed, and, if the identification information is not included in the information to be processed, controls the apparatus such that the processing that follows the initial processing is not executed.
