Information Processing Device for Continuous Data Delivery During Terminal Sleep
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Terminal devices with assistant applications often enter a sleep state, disconnecting communication sessions and preventing continuous information delivery from providing servers, even when the user needs ongoing assistance during tasks like cooking.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that intermittently and sequentially transmits process information to a terminal device, even when the communication session is disconnected, using a mediating unit to ensure continuous output and notification, including alarm information to maintain user attention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the terminal device enters a sleep state to save power, then power consumption is reduced, but the communication session is disconnected and information delivery is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing transmission state information and process information in the server before the terminal enters sleep mode. When the terminal wakes up, the server resumes transmission from the stored state, avoiding information loss and maintaining continuity without requiring the terminal to stay awake.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that maintains the communication session state independently of the terminal's sleep/wake cycles. It stores transmission state information and process information, allowing it to bridge the gap when the terminal is in sleep mode and resume communication seamlessly when the terminal becomes active again.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the terminal device enters a lock state for security, then security is improved, but the assistant application cannot receive information from the providing server
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary actions by accumulating and storing process information and transmission state before the terminal enters lock mode. This allows the server to have information ready to deliver once the terminal exits lock mode, preventing information loss due to the security state.
Solution Approach 2:
The server maintains continuous information preparation and storage operations even when the terminal is in lock state. The useful action of information delivery continues uninterrupted on the server side, ready to be transmitted immediately when the terminal becomes accessible again, ensuring no information is lost during the security state.
3Reliability
If the communication session is maintained continuously, then information delivery is uninterrupted, but the terminal device consumes more power
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of maintaining continuous communication, the system uses periodic action where the terminal wakes up at intervals to receive information batches. The server maintains state information between these periods, allowing discontinuous terminal operation while ensuring information is delivered at appropriate intervals, reducing power consumption while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The server performs preliminary preparation of information batches and maintains transmission state between terminal wake-up cycles. This allows the terminal to sleep longer between communications while ensuring information is ready for delivery, reducing power consumption without sacrificing information delivery continuity.
4Loss of information
If the terminal device stays awake to receive information, then information delivery is continuous, but battery life is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic information delivery where the terminal wakes up at scheduled intervals to receive batches of process information. The server accumulates and stores information during the terminal's sleep periods, then delivers it in batches when the terminal is active. This reduces the time the terminal needs to stay awake, extending battery life while ensuring complete information delivery through structured periodic communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The server performs preliminary accumulation and organization of process information batches before the terminal wakes up. By preparing information in advance and storing transmission state, the server enables efficient batch transmission that minimizes the terminal's active time, thereby extending battery life while ensuring complete information delivery.

AI summary
In a state where a communication session between a terminal device and a mediating unit is established, an information processing device transmits information in accordance with a processing request generated by the mediating unit based on input data of the terminal device so that an output based on the transmitted information is performed in the terminal device. The information processing device receives the processing request from the mediating unit, obtains guide information in accordance with the processing request, and intermittently and sequentially transmits a plurality of pieces of process information and, in a case where the communication session is disconnected before transmission of all the process information is completed, transmits information for executing an output in accordance with a transmission situation of process information when the communication session is disconnected to the terminal device.
