Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face challenges in reducing wireless communication with terminal apparatuses other than the closest one to the information processing apparatus, which can lead to inefficient use of resources and potential errors in connection processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus equipped with a processor that transmits identification information via a first communication tool, detects communication from terminal apparatuses, and requests connections only with terminal apparatuses that include the identification information, thereby establishing connections preferentially with the closest terminal apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the information processing apparatus establishes wireless communication with terminal apparatuses within its communication range, then the coverage and accessibility are improved, but unnecessary communication with terminal apparatuses other than the closest one increases resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the communication behavior specific to the closest terminal apparatus. The information processing apparatus transmits identification information and establishes connection preferentially with the terminal apparatus that is physically closest (terminal apparatus A), while avoiding unnecessary communication with other terminal apparatuses (terminal apparatus B) even though they are within communication range. This localized connection strategy reduces overall communication resource consumption.
2Measurement precision
If the information processing apparatus transmits identification information to all terminal apparatuses, then the connection accuracy is improved, but the communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting identification information through wireless proximity communication (first communication tool) before establishing the main wireless connection. This preliminary transmission allows terminal apparatuses to acquire the identification information in advance, so when they initiate connection requests via the second communication tool, the information processing apparatus can accurately identify and connect with the intended terminal apparatus (the closest one) without excessive communication overhead.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus including: a memory; and a processor, the memory stores identification information of the information processing apparatus, and the processor is configured to perform control so as to transmit the identification information to a terminal apparatus via a first communication tool that is wireless proximity communication, detect communication from the terminal apparatus, and, in a case where the identification information of the information processing apparatus is included in the detected communication, request connection to the terminal apparatus that is a transmission source of the detected communication via a second communication tool, and establish the connection with the terminal apparatus.
