Information Processing Using Records for Function Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems determine whether to add or change a function for communication based solely on the version of the function, which can lead to communication failures when the new function is not compatible with the communication destination.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that determines whether to add or change a function by analyzing communication records between a second apparatus already provided with the function and the communication destination, using criteria such as communication success rates and protocols, to ensure compatibility and reduce communication failures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the version of the added or changed function is not compatible with the apparatus, then the apparatus cannot communicate with the communication destination, but determining based only on version information is simpler than analyzing communication records
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of communication records between the second apparatus and the communication destination before making the determination. By examining historical communication data in advance, the system identifies compatibility patterns and establishes determination criteria beforehand, avoiding the need for complex real-time analysis when adding or changing functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses communication records as an intermediary element to bridge the gap between version information and actual compatibility. Instead of directly comparing version numbers or performing complex compatibility checks, the system analyzes historical communication data that indirectly reflects compatibility, simplifying the determination process while improving reliability.
2Reliability
If communication records are analyzed to determine compatibility, then communication failures are suppressed, but more information and processing are required compared to using only version information
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary compatibility-related information from communication records, rather than processing all available data. By selectively extracting relevant communication outcomes and patterns, the system reduces processing requirements while maintaining high communication success rates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the determination parameter from simple version information to communication record-based metrics such as communication success rates and protocol compatibility. This parameter transformation enables more accurate compatibility assessment while the system optimizes the processing of these new parameters to manage complexity.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to determine whether or not to execute addition or change to a first apparatus, when making the addition or the change of a function used to communicate with a communication destination to the first apparatus, based on communication records between a second apparatus already provided with the function and the communication destination.
