Transmission Queue Port Setting Repair for Printing Device Connectivity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication between an information processing apparatus and a printing device is often hindered, leading to difficulties in establishing a stable connection, especially when port setting information is defective.
Innovation Solution
The information processing apparatus employs a selection unit to choose a target transmission queue and a change unit to modify port settings, enabling communication with the printing device by changing port settings of associated queues with the same identification information to facilitate connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If port setting information is manually configured for each transmission queue, then communication connection can be established, but user operation complexity increases and time is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-diagnosis of communication status and automatically repairs port setting information without requiring user intervention. The information processing apparatus detects communication failures and autonomously modifies transmission queue configurations to restore connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system proactively detects communication status and performs preventive repairs before complete connection failure occurs. By monitoring transmission queues and identifying defective port settings early, the system can automatically correct issues before they impact user operations.
2Ease of operation
If port setting information is automatically repaired, then communication convenience is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The selection unit and change unit are integrated within the information processing apparatus, combining multiple functions into a unified system. The selection unit identifies defective transmission queues and the change unit repairs port settings, with both units working cooperatively within the same apparatus to achieve automatic repair without requiring separate external systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where communication status is continuously monitored, and repair actions are triggered based on detected anomalies. The selection unit identifies transmission queues with communication issues, and the change unit applies corrections based on this feedback, creating a closed-loop control system that automatically maintains communication stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transmission queues are managed individually, then communication flexibility is maintained, but port setting management becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The change unit is designed to handle multiple transmission queues with the same identification information through a single automated process. Rather than requiring separate manual configuration for each queue, the system identifies all queues sharing the same ID and applies port setting repairs universally across all of them, simplifying management while maintaining support for multiple queues.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus having a plurality of transmission queues includes a selection unit that selects a target transmission queue from among the plurality of transmission queues, and a change unit that changes port setting information of the selected target transmission queue to port setting information with which communication with a printing device corresponding to the target transmission queue is possible. The change unit changes port setting information of another transmission queue with which the same identification information as identification information of the target transmission queue is associated, to the port setting information with which communication with the printing device is possible.
