Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems struggle to efficiently select a suitable communication path that balances communication quality and environmental impact across multiple communication infrastructures owned by different carriers.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that selects a communication path using a first index based on communication quality and a second index such as greenness degree, allowing for unified management of multiple communication infrastructures to optimize both quality and environmental impact.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication path selection is based solely on communication quality, then communication reliability is improved, but environmental impact (green energy usage) cannot be optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the selection parameters from single-dimension (communication quality only) to multi-dimension by introducing a second index representing environmental factors. This allows the system to evaluate and select communication paths based on both communication quality and environmental impact, resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds another dimension to the communication path selection process by introducing a second index alongside the first communication quality index. This dimensional expansion enables simultaneous optimization of both communication performance and environmental sustainability, allowing the system to make balanced decisions across multiple criteria.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication infrastructures from different carriers are managed separately, then each carrier's infrastructure can be optimized independently, but unified management for balancing quality and environmental impact becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal management framework that can handle multiple communication infrastructures from different carriers through a unified selection mechanism. By using multi-index evaluation, the system provides universal applicability across different carrier networks while maintaining the ability to optimize for both communication quality and environmental factors, reducing management complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If communication paths are selected to maximize green energy usage, then environmental sustainability is improved, but communication quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the selection approach from single-criterion optimization to multi-criteria evaluation by introducing both a first index for communication quality and a second index for environmental factors. This parameter expansion allows the system to balance between communication quality and environmental sustainability, preventing deterioration of either aspect.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds another dimension to the evaluation space by introducing environmental factors as a second index. This dimensional addition enables the system to simultaneously consider both communication quality and environmental sustainability, allowing for balanced path selection that optimizes both criteria rather than sacrificing one for the other.

AI summary
The information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit selects a communication path to be used for communication by using a first index based on a communication quality corresponding to each of a plurality of candidates of a communication path using two or more communication infrastructures and a second index that is an index other than the communication quality corresponding to each of the plurality of candidates with respect to an in-vehicle terminal that performs communication using two or more communication infrastructures of a plurality of communication carriers.
