Multimodal Information Processing Device Adaptability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices require redesign every time output equipment or devices are modified, changed, or their operations are altered, due to the need to consider specific types and statuses of output equipment and devices.
Innovation Solution
A multimodal information processing device generates abstract output information independent of output equipment types, using a status monitor, semantic interpreter, and processing performer to produce embodied information for processing, allowing operations to adapt without redesign when equipment or devices change.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the information processing device is configured with means of determining output processing device and means of converting data format, then the system can handle different output devices, but the device must be redesigned every time output equipment or devices are modified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an output information generator as an intermediary component that converts input information into abstract output information independent of specific output device types. This mediator layer separates the information processing logic from the specific output device requirements, allowing the system to adapt to different devices without redesigning the core processing logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The output information generator is designed to handle multiple types of output devices universally by generating abstract output information that can be adapted to various device types. This universal approach allows the same generator to serve multiple output devices without requiring device-specific customization of the core processing logic.
2Ease of operation
If each output equipment and output device generates output data that can be processed, then the system can utilize current status information, but the information processing device must be redesigned every time operation of output equipment or devices is modified
Solution Approach 1:
The output information generator acts as an intermediary that receives status information from output devices and processes it into abstract output information. This mediator approach allows the system to consider current status without requiring the core processing logic to be redesigned when device operations change.
Solution Approach 2:
The system handles changes in output device operations by changing parameters in the abstract output information rather than redesigning the processing logic. The output information generator adapts to different operational parameters while maintaining the same overall processing framework.

AI summary
An output information generator generates abstract output information unrelated to the types of outputters according to information from an input unit. Semantic interpreters of the outputters generate pieces of embodied output information from the abstract output information on the basis of monitor results from status monitors which monitor the operating statuses of the corresponding outputters. Processing performers perform processes corresponding to the pieces of embodied output information.
