Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information transmitted from a terminal device to an external device often includes unwanted data, necessitating a solution to selectively transmit only desired information based on user preferences.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with an acquisition unit for gathering data sets containing position information, an estimation unit for calculating position values related to target data, a decision unit for determining transmission based on user-set non-transmission indices, and a transmission unit for sending data to an external device according to these decisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If position information is transmitted from terminal device to external device, then the external device can utilize location data for various purposes, but the user may lose control over unwanted information transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of the determination unit and transmission control unit that mediates between the terminal device and external device. This intermediary evaluates position information against predetermined criteria and user settings, automatically filtering and selecting which data to transmit. This resolves the contradiction by providing both automated utility (external devices receive useful data) and user control (transmission follows user-defined rules) without requiring direct user involvement in each transmission decision.
2Loss of information
If all position data is transmitted to external device, then complete information is provided, but unnecessary data communication occurs increasing load and privacy risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by selectively removing unnecessary position data from the transmission stream. The determination unit evaluates each position information against predetermined transmission criteria and extracts only those data points that meet the criteria for transmission. This ensures information completeness for useful data while eliminating unnecessary communication overhead and privacy risks associated with transmitting all position data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by applying different transmission rules to different position information based on its characteristics. Rather than uniformly transmitting all data or none, the system evaluates each position data point individually and applies appropriate transmission decisions based on local criteria such as accuracy requirements, user preferences, and data sensitivity. This optimizes communication efficiency while maintaining necessary information quality.
3Measurement precision
If position value estimation is performed for each data set, then data transmission decisions become more accurate, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by implementing automated position value estimation and transmission decision-making within the terminal device itself. The determination unit automatically estimates position values and evaluates transmission criteria without requiring external intervention or complex centralized processing. This reduces overall system complexity by distributing the processing function to the terminal device, achieving accurate transmission decisions through localized automated evaluation rather than complex external processing systems.
