Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal test apparatuses face inefficiencies in processing control messages, particularly when numerous settings changes are required, leading to increased processing time and load.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal test apparatus that switches between Automatic and Manual modes for control message transmission, where the Automatic mode transmits messages as needed and the Manual mode holds change information for batched transmission upon user instruction, reducing processing load and time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If control messages are transmitted every time a parameter setting is changed, then the mobile terminal receives timely updates, but the processing time and load increase significantly when multiple settings are changed
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between two operational modes (Automatic and Manual) based on the number of parameter changes. When parameter changes are few, the Automatic mode transmits control messages immediately. When parameter changes are numerous, the Manual mode batches the transmissions. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by adjusting the transmission strategy to match the actual workload.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transmitting control messages for every single parameter change (excessive action), the Manual mode selectively batches multiple parameter changes into a single control message transmission (partial action). This reduces the total number of transmissions while still achieving the necessary updates, thereby reducing processing time and load.
2Productivity
If control messages are transmitted immediately for each parameter change, then the test progresses without delays, but the processing load increases when many settings are changed
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its operational mode based on the number of parameter changes detected. The control unit monitors parameter changes and automatically selects the appropriate mode (Automatic for few changes, Manual for many changes), thereby optimizing the balance between test execution speed and processing load without requiring manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the operational parameter (transmission mode) based on the number of parameter changes. When the number of parameter changes exceeds a certain threshold, the system transitions from Automatic mode to Manual mode, effectively using parameter-based decision-making to manage processing load while maintaining productivity.
3Reliability
If the Automatic mode is used for all parameter changes, then timely transmission is ensured, but processing time increases for tests with many parameter changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between Automatic and Manual modes based on the number of parameter changes. This dynamic selection ensures that the reliable immediate transmission of Automatic mode is used only when necessary (few parameter changes), while the time-efficient Manual mode is used when many parameter changes occur, thereby maintaining reliability while reducing total execution time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the number of parameter changes as a decision parameter to select the transmission mode. When the count of parameter changes is low, Automatic mode is selected for reliable immediate transmission. When the count is high, Manual mode is selected to reduce total transmission time, thus optimizing the balance between reliability and execution time.

AI summary
There is provided a mobile terminal test apparatus capable of efficiently performing a test by collectively processing control messages. There is included a control unit 6 that switches, as a mode for transmitting a control message to a mobile terminal 10, between an Automatic mode in which by a setting of a parameter by a user, the control message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 when it becomes necessary to transmit the control message to the mobile terminal 10, and a Manual mode in which change information on the parameter by the setting of the parameter by the user is held, and the control message corresponding to the held change information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 when a parameter application instruction is given by the user.
