Information Storage Medium Near Field Wireless Content Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional game machines using IC tags for contactless communication are limited to basic information processing and cannot support a wide range of applications, restricting the interaction and sharing of content among multiple information processing apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
Implementing near field wireless communication between information processing apparatuses and an information storage medium, allowing for the writing, reading, and updating of content information, enabling a broader range of information processing and sharing of virtual objects and game-related content across multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional IC tag contactless communication is used for information processing, then basic identification data exchange is achieved, but the range of information processing applications is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The information storage medium is designed to store multiple types of data including identification data, content information, and management information, enabling a single device to support diverse applications such as game content distribution, device pairing, and information sharing across different scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The data structure is segmented into distinct types (identification data, content information, management information), allowing selective reading and processing of different data elements based on application requirements, thereby enhancing versatility without requiring complete data exchange
2Adaptability or versatility
If basic IC tag communication is used, then simple identification data exchange is possible, but content sharing and interaction among multiple information processing apparatuses cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The information storage medium acts as an intermediary carrier that bridges multiple information processing apparatuses, enabling content information to be transferred from one device to another through physical medium exchange, thus facilitating content sharing and interaction
Solution Approach 2:
Content information is pre-stored in the information storage medium before exchange, allowing multiple devices to access and share content without requiring real-time network connection or complex peer-to-peer communication protocols

AI summary
A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program executed by an information processing apparatus is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a communication portion which exchanges data with an information storage medium through near field wireless communication. The information processing program causes the information processing apparatus to perform the following acts. The acts include writing available content information in the information storage medium, reading the available content information from the information storage medium, and updating availability of a content based on the read available content information.
