Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems face challenges in executing smooth processing when handling weather information for all areas simultaneously, leading to potential inefficiencies due to limitations in processing ability.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that divides a target area into smaller, distinct mesh groups, prioritizing the mesh group containing the device's position for high-relevance information processing, and executing processing in a sequential order across these groups to manage load and ensure smooth operation, even when processing all target area information and other information in parallel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all weather information in the target area is processed simultaneously, then complete information coverage is achieved, but processing smoothness deteriorates due to system load limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidprocessing smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the target area into multiple mesh groups of equal or smaller than a predetermined size, and processes each mesh group sequentially rather than all at once. This segmentation reduces the processing load on any single operation while maintaining complete information coverage across all mesh groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent determines the processing order of mesh groups in advance, with the mesh group containing the device position being processed first. This preliminary ordering ensures that high-relevance information is processed promptly while distributing the overall processing load across multiple sequential operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If weather information processing is prioritized over other information processing, then relevant information is delivered timely, but overall system efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery timingVSAvoidsystem efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing priorities to different mesh groups based on their relevance to the device position. The mesh group containing the device position is processed first with high priority, while other mesh groups are processed sequentially. This local prioritization ensures timely delivery of relevant information without requiring the entire system to operate at maximum capacity continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Power

If the target area is divided into smaller mesh groups, then processing load is reduced, but the number of processing operations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing capacityVSAvoidprocessing operation count
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the target area into multiple mesh groups of equal or smaller than a predetermined size. This segmentation reduces the processing capacity required for each individual operation while maintaining comprehensive coverage. The system processes each mesh group sequentially, which increases the number of operations but reduces the complexity of each individual operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A system for smoothly executing information processing in the case where information processing is executed to all of the information in relation to a target area, and at the same time other information processing is executed in parallel thereto. In information processing system 10, each of a plurality of mesh groups differing from one another is decided as a first mesh group through an n-th mesh group (n=2, 3, . . . ), respectively. A predetermined information processing is executed to the mesh information group in relation to each mesh group in the order from the first mesh group to the n-th mesh group. The load of the information processing system for the predetermined information processing is reduced by executing the predetermined information processing for each mesh information group.
