Solution Overview

Problem

Existing near field wireless communication systems do not enable processing using a storage medium between information processing apparatuses, limiting the functionality of storage media in facilitating communication and data exchange between devices.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes an information storage medium and two information processing apparatuses capable of near field wireless communication, where one apparatus performs predetermined processing, writes environmental data into the storage medium, and the other reads and processes this data, allowing for data exchange and usage across different applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If near field wireless communication is used for basic data exchange, then communication between apparatuses is enabled, but the storage medium cannot facilitate processing between different information processing apparatuses

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefunctionality of storage mediumVSAvoidprocessing capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The storage medium is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only stores data but also facilitates processing between different information processing apparatuses. The medium can be written to by one apparatus and read/processed by another, enabling inter-apparatus communication and collaboration beyond simple data transfer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The storage medium acts as an intermediary between the first and second information processing apparatuses. It receives environmental data from the first apparatus through near field wireless communication and enables the second apparatus to access and process this data, serving as a bridge for inter-apparatus processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the storage medium only stores data, then simple data exchange is achieved, but environmental data generated by application programs cannot be shared and processed between different apparatuses

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata sharing capabilityVSAvoidenvironmental data

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The first information processing apparatus writes environmental data to the storage medium in advance, preparing the data for subsequent processing by the second apparatus. This preliminary data preparation enables the second apparatus to immediately utilize the environmental data without requiring real-time data generation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing system includes an information storage medium and first and second information processing apparatuses capable of near field wireless communication. The first information processing apparatus includes a first data processing module which performs predetermined processing caused by execution of an application program by the first information processing apparatus and a first writing module which writes environmental data generated through the predetermined processing into the information storage medium by establishing near field wireless communication with the information storage medium. The second information processing apparatus includes a first reading module which reads data from the information storage medium by establishing near field wireless communication with the information storage medium and a second data processing module which processes the environmental data read as a result of reading of the data from the information storage medium caused by execution of an application program by the second information processing apparatus.
