Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face challenges in accurately reproducing user manipulation contents without actual user input, often requiring additional processing steps that alter the operation environment and can lead to inaccuracies.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system comprising an inputting apparatus, a relay apparatus, and a control apparatus, where manipulation data indicative of user inputs is transmitted in a predetermined order and at specific time intervals corresponding to the original user interactions, allowing the target apparatus to execute processes as if the user had performed the manipulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If data recorded in the information processing apparatus is used to reproduce manipulation contents, then the user manipulation can be reproduced without actual user input, but additional processing steps are required that alter the operation environment and reduce reproduction accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the manipulation apparatus (inputting apparatus 10) that can reproduce user manipulations without requiring the original apparatus. The copy receives manipulation data from the information processing apparatus and transmits it to the target apparatus, enabling automation while maintaining operational consistency. This resolves the contradiction by providing a faithful replica that doesn't require additional processing interpretation.
Solution Approach 2:
The inputting apparatus 10 acts as an intermediary between the information processing apparatus and the target apparatus. It receives manipulation data in advance, holds it, and transmits it at appropriate timing. This intermediary role allows the system to automate manipulation reproduction while maintaining the original operation environment, as the intermediary simply relays data without altering the fundamental interaction pattern.
2Extent of automation
If manipulation data is transmitted in advance to enable automation, then user input is not required, but timing synchronization may be lost leading to inaccurate reproduction
Solution Approach 1:
The inputting apparatus 10 receives and holds manipulation data in advance from the information processing apparatus, preparing it for future transmission. This preliminary action allows the system to automate manipulation reproduction while being ready to transmit at the correct timing when the target apparatus is actually ready to receive input, thus maintaining timing accuracy despite advance data preparation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the transmission timing of manipulation data based on the actual operational state of the target apparatus. Rather than transmitting at fixed intervals, the inputting apparatus waits for appropriate timing signals or conditions from the target apparatus, making the transmission timing flexible and adaptive. This dynamic approach maintains timing accuracy while enabling automation.
3Productivity
If additional processing is performed to reproduce manipulation contents from recorded data, then automation is achieved, but the operation environment changes and reproduction fidelity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The target apparatus autonomously determines when it is ready to receive manipulation data by monitoring its own operational state and sending appropriate timing signals to the inputting apparatus. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex external processing to synchronize timing, as the system naturally adapts to the target apparatus's readiness. The result is high productivity through automation while maintaining reliability through native timing synchronization.
