Innovation Solution
A communication system and method that facilitates automatic acquisition and transmission of connection information between a communication device, a terminal, and a server, reducing the need for manual input by using a mobile terminal to relay necessary information for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual input of connection information is required for connecting electronic musical instruments to servers, then connection reliability is improved, but user effort and time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
A mobile terminal acts as an intermediary device between the electronic musical instrument and the server. The mobile terminal automatically acquires connection information from the server and transmits it to the electronic musical instrument, eliminating the need for manual input while ensuring reliable connection setup through automated information exchange.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal performs preliminary actions by automatically acquiring connection information from the server before the electronic musical instrument needs to connect. This pre-acquisition of connection details streamlines the subsequent connection process, reducing setup time while maintaining connection reliability.
2Ease of operation
If automatic acquisition of connection information is implemented, then user effort is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal serves as an intermediary that handles the complexity of automatic connection information acquisition. By offloading the automated information exchange process to the mobile terminal, the electronic musical instrument itself remains relatively simple while still achieving ease of operation through the intermediary's automated processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automatic acquisition and transmission of connection information. The mobile terminal autonomously retrieves connection details from the server and delivers them to the electronic musical instrument without requiring user intervention, thereby improving ease of operation while distributing system complexity across multiple components rather than concentrating it in one device.

AI summary
A communication system including a communication device, a terminal configured to be able to communicate with the communication device, and a server is provided. The communication device includes a request transmission part transmitting to the terminal a request for connection information for connecting to the server, a connection information reception part receiving from the terminal the connection information requested by the request transmission part, and a connection part communicably connecting to the server by using the connection information received by the connection information reception part. The terminal includes a request reception part receiving the request for the connection information from the communication device, a connection information acquisition part, acquiring the connection information corresponding to the request for the connection information received by the request reception part, and a connection information transmission part, transmitting the connection information acquired by the connection information acquisition part to the communication device.
