Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems between device information transmitting apparatuses and management apparatuses face challenges in maintaining effective information transmission and reception when communication quality in the network decreases, leading to potential disruptions in system operation.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a management apparatus with a first measuring unit to assess communication quality, a first determining unit to evaluate the degree of decrease, and a first control unit to adjust communication conditions based on the priority of information, ensuring that necessary information is transmitted and received even during network quality degradation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication is maintained under predetermined conditions in a communication network, then system operation can proceed normally, but information transmission fails when communication quality decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic communication condition adjustment by changing communication parameters (such as transmission intervals, data volumes, or protocols) based on real-time communication quality measurements. When communication quality decreases, the system automatically adapts by modifying transmission characteristics to maintain essential information flow, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining predetermined operation conditions and adapting to varying network quality.
2Loss of information
If all information is transmitted continuously, then complete information availability is ensured, but communication efficiency decreases when network quality is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating information priority levels and assigning different transmission characteristics to different types of information. Critical information is transmitted with higher priority and more frequent intervals, while non-critical information is transmitted less frequently or with lower bandwidth. This selective approach ensures essential information completeness while improving overall communication efficiency under constrained network conditions.
3Reliability
If communication frequency is increased to maintain information flow, then information availability improves, but network resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically changes communication parameters such as transmission interval, data packet size, and protocol selection based on measured communication quality and information priority. When network conditions deteriorate, the system adjusts parameters to reduce resource consumption while maintaining transmission of critical information. This adaptive parameter modification resolves the contradiction between ensuring information availability and minimizing network resource usage.
