Information Processing Apparatus Program Status Notification Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face challenges in efficiently managing data transmission between user terminals and wearable devices, particularly when a primary program is operating, leading to unnecessary power consumption and potential disclosure of unintended information during tasks like drone steering or projector applications.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a transceiver and processor that determines the operation status of a program on the user terminal, switching the form of information transmission to the wearable device based on this status, allowing for optimized data exchange and minimizing power consumption by limiting notifications during occupied screen states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If information transmission to wearable device is continuously enabled, then user can always receive notifications, but power consumption increases unnecessarily
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the information transmission mode based on the operational state of the terminal. When a program is running that occupies the screen, the system switches to a restricted transmission mode that limits notifications to avoid power consumption and unintended disclosures. When no program is running, it switches to normal transmission mode for full notification delivery. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the transmission behavior flexible rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of information transmission form based on program operation status. By detecting whether a program is running and using that status as a control parameter, the system modifies transmission behavior - restricting certain types of notifications when programs are active and allowing full transmission when the terminal is idle, thus balancing power consumption with notification reliability.
2Loss of information
If all notifications are transmitted during program operation, then information is not lost, but unintended information disclosure occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different quality levels of information transmission based on local conditions. When a program is running, it filters and restricts the type of information transmitted to the wearable device, allowing only appropriate notifications while blocking potentially harmful or unintended disclosures. When no program is running, full information transmission is enabled. This localized differentiation of transmission quality resolves the contradiction between information completeness and preventing unintended disclosure.
3Loss of energy
If information transmission is restricted during program operation, then power consumption is reduced and unintended disclosure is prevented, but information availability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic transmission policy adjustment based on terminal state detection. By continuously monitoring whether a program is running and automatically switching between restricted and unrestricted transmission modes accordingly, the system optimizes the balance between power consumption and information availability in real-time, resolving the contradiction through adaptive control rather than fixed restrictions.

AI summary
To provide an information processing apparatus, a program, and an information communication method capable of determining notification contents according to the status of operation of a program. A user terminal includes a communication processing unit that communicates with external electronic equipment and a control unit that performs, for the subject unit, operation determination on whether a predetermined program for outputting an image or sound is operated. Based on an operation determination result, the control unit switches the form of information to be transmitted to the electronic equipment via a communication unit, or stops information transmission to the electronic equipment.
