Proxy Transmission Unit for Wireless Communication Band Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional communication systems face inefficiencies in wireless communication bands when mobile terminal apparatuses move relative to each other, leading to unnecessary proxy transmissions of information, which can result in ineffective use of communication resources and reduced system power efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus with a detection unit that measures received powers and changes in radio signals from other terminal apparatuses over a predetermined period, determining whether to transmit or proxy identification information based on these measurements to optimize proxy transmissions and reduce unnecessary communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mobile terminal apparatuses transmit information concerning their own apparatuses respectively, then the reliability of information transmission is improved, but the wireless communication bands increase and become tight
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines information transmission from multiple mobile terminal apparatuses into a single proxy transmission. The imaging apparatus captures images and transmits them along with identification information of multiple terminal apparatuses simultaneously, merging what would otherwise be separate transmission channels into one efficient communication stream.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging apparatus serves multiple functions: it acts as both an imaging device and a proxy transmission device for multiple terminal apparatuses. By giving the imaging apparatus universal functionality, the system reduces the total number of transmission channels needed while maintaining reliable information delivery.
2Quantity of substance
If a representative device collectively transmits information of peripheral devices, then the wireless communication bands are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging apparatus automatically performs proxy transmission without requiring complex selection logic or coordination with other devices. The system uses the imaging apparatus's inherent capability to capture images and naturally extends this function to include identification information transmission, eliminating the need for separate representative device selection mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging apparatus creates a visual copy (image) of the terminal apparatus and transmits it along with identification information. This copying approach simplifies the transmission process by using the imaging apparatus's native function rather than requiring complex data aggregation and forwarding mechanisms.
3Productivity
If proxy transmission is performed without considering relative positions, then the productivity of information transmission is improved, but the loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback by using the imaging apparatus to verify the visual presence of terminal apparatuses before transmitting their identification information. This feedback mechanism ensures that only information about actually visible devices is transmitted, preventing waste of communication resources on invisible or irrelevant devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging apparatus performs preliminary imaging and identification verification before transmission. By capturing images first and confirming the presence of terminal apparatuses in the captured images, the system ensures that subsequent proxy transmissions contain only relevant and useful information.
