Radiography System Parallel Identification Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing radiography systems using flat panel detectors face delays and system operation issues due to network traffic convergence when multiple control apparatuses communicate with a management server, leading to potential delays in image display and system performance.
Innovation Solution
A radiography system is designed without a management server, where radiography apparatuses and control apparatuses are connected via a communication path, allowing them to transmit and receive identification information in parallel, enabling efficient operation and image processing without the need for central server management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a management server is used to manage multiple control apparatuses, then imaging order registration and patient information management are improved, but network traffic convergence causes delays in image display and system operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the management server from the system architecture and replaces it with direct peer-to-peer communication between control apparatuses and radiography apparatuses. Each control apparatus can independently register imaging orders and access radiography apparatuses without converging network traffic through a central server, thereby eliminating the time delays caused by server-mediated communication while maintaining reliable order registration.
2Ease of operation
If multiple control apparatuses communicate through a management server, then system control and image management are improved, but network traffic convergence causes system operation delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized control function into distributed control capabilities across multiple control apparatuses. Each control apparatus can independently manage radiography apparatuses and imaging orders without requiring centralized coordination through a management server. This segmentation eliminates network traffic convergence bottlenecks while maintaining ease of operation through direct, independent control pathways.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a management server is implemented, then centralized management of radiography apparatuses is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service architecture where control apparatuses and radiography apparatuses can directly discover, connect, and manage each other without requiring a management server. Each apparatus maintains its own identification information and can independently establish communication pathways, eliminating the need for centralized management infrastructure while preserving adaptability through direct peer-to-peer interactions.
