Automated Program Installation Across Networked Information Processing Apparatuses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The cumbersome process of identifying and installing programs on multiple information processing apparatuses that cooperate to execute a process, which hinders efficiency and increases operator workload.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system where a first information processing apparatus automatically installs a program on a second apparatus via a network, using an input unit to input a group of programs, a transmission unit to send the programs, and install units on both apparatuses to facilitate seamless installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If programs are manually installed on each information processing apparatus according to its function and role, then the system can be configured to provide services through cooperation of multiple apparatuses, but the installation process becomes cumbersome and increases operator workload
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the first information processing apparatus to automatically identify and transmit required programs to the second apparatus. The second apparatus automatically receives and installs the transmitted programs without operator intervention, making the system self-configure based on functional requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The first information processing apparatus performs preliminary actions by identifying which programs are needed by the second apparatus before transmission. This preliminary identification and preparation of programs eliminates the need for manual selection and installation during the actual deployment phase.
2Reliability
If manual program installation is performed on multiple information processing apparatuses, then each apparatus can be properly configured, but the time and effort required for installation increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the first information processing apparatus to automatically identify and transmit required programs to the second apparatus. The second apparatus automatically receives and installs the transmitted programs without operator intervention, making the system self-configure based on functional requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The first information processing apparatus performs preliminary actions by identifying which programs are needed by the second apparatus before transmission. This preliminary identification and preparation of programs eliminates the need for manual selection and installation during the actual deployment phase.
3Productivity
If automated program transmission is implemented between information processing apparatuses, then installation efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the first information processing apparatus to automatically identify and transmit required programs to the second apparatus. The second apparatus automatically receives and installs the transmitted programs without operator intervention, making the system self-configure based on functional requirements.
