Processor Discarding IC Chip Data on Communication Loss
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic apparatuses face challenges in efficiently managing and discarding information stored in IC chips when communication is lost, leading to storage capacity issues and unnecessary retention of transient data.
Innovation Solution
The electronic apparatus includes a processor that communicates with an IC chip using near field wireless communication, obtaining and processing information, and automatically discards this information when communication is disrupted, optimizing storage usage by deleting data when the device moves out of range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If information is retained in storage after communication with IC chip is lost, then storage capacity is wasted, but if information is discarded immediately, then data availability for processing is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically discards information from the IC chip when communication is lost, preventing storage capacity waste. The discard operation is triggered by detecting communication failure, ensuring that transient data that is no longer accessible is removed from storage, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining data availability and preserving storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the communication unit monitors the status of communication with the IC chip. When communication is lost, this feedback triggers the processor to discard the obtained information, creating a closed-loop control system that dynamically manages storage based on actual data accessibility.
2Use of energy by moving object
If communication range is extended to maintain connection, then energy consumption increases, but if communication range is limited, then data retrieval opportunities are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining and storing information from the IC chip while communication is still active. When communication is subsequently lost, the stored information is processed locally, eliminating the need for continued high-energy communication to maintain data access, thus reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining operational reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system treats obtained information as transient data that can be discarded when communication is lost. This approach accepts that data may become unavailable rather than investing continuous energy to maintain communication, effectively using a 'disposable' data strategy that prioritizes energy efficiency over persistent data availability.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus includes a communication unit and at least one processor. The communication unit communicates with an IC chip of a communication device to obtain information in the IC chip. The at least one processor performs processing based on obtained information being obtained by the communication unit. The at least one processor discards the obtained information if the communication unit becomes unable to communicate with the IC chip.
