Proxy Terminal Routing for Reliable Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In information processing systems, when a terminal apparatus is turned off or has a high load, it is challenging to transmit post-processing information to a receiving apparatus if the alternative terminal apparatus lacks destination information, leading to potential transmission failures or delays.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes multiple terminal apparatuses and a processing apparatus, where the terminal apparatuses transmit transmission information and destination information to the processing apparatus, allowing the system to route post-processing information through a different terminal apparatus acting as a proxy if the original terminal apparatus is unavailable, ensuring continuous and secure data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the terminal apparatus is turned off or has high load, then energy consumption or system performance is improved, but the ability to transmit post-processing information to the receiving apparatus deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy terminal apparatus as an intermediary to transmit post-processing information when the original terminal apparatus is unavailable. The processing apparatus identifies a proxy terminal from multiple terminal apparatuses and uses it to forward information to the receiving apparatus, ensuring transmission reliability even when the primary terminal is turned off or overloaded.
2Productivity
If the terminal apparatus is turned off or has high load, then productivity is improved, but the transmission function to receiving apparatus deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy terminal apparatus as an intermediary to transmit post-processing information when the original terminal apparatus is unavailable. The processing apparatus identifies a proxy terminal from multiple terminal apparatuses and uses it to forward information to the receiving apparatus, ensuring transmission reliability even when the primary terminal is turned off or overloaded.
3Reliability
If a different terminal apparatus is used to transmit post-processing information, then system availability is improved, but the complexity of managing destination information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the processing apparatus automatically manages the complexity of selecting and managing proxy terminal apparatuses. The processing apparatus holds destination information and automatically identifies appropriate proxy terminals from multiple terminal apparatuses, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing information management complexity while maintaining system availability.
