Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional radiographing systems face issues with radio wave interference between short-distance wireless communication for linking a radiographing apparatus and an access point, which can degrade communication speed and quality during radiation image transmission.
Innovation Solution
A radiographing apparatus with dual communication units and a control unit that manages communication configurations to prioritize radiation image transmission, disabling unnecessary communication via the second wireless communication when the first wireless communication is active, and adjusting frequency bands to minimize interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If short-distance wireless communication is used for linking radiographing apparatus and access point, then ease of operation is improved, but radio wave interference degrades communication speed and quality during radiation image transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication unit is divided into two separate units: a first wireless communication unit for transmitting radiation images and a second wireless communication unit for linking with the access point. This segmentation allows each unit to operate independently on different frequency bands, eliminating radio wave interference while maintaining ease of operation through automatic switching control.
2Reliability
If dual communication units are used to eliminate interference, then communication quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit integrates the switching logic between first and second wireless communication units, automatically selecting the appropriate communication path based on the current operation state. This merging of control functions manages the complexity of dual communication units while maintaining high communication quality through intelligent resource allocation.

AI summary
A radiographing apparatus for performing radiographing includes a first communication unit that transmits a radiation image captured in the radiographing via first wireless communication with an access point, a second communication unit that transmits information and receive the information about an establishment of the first wireless communication via second wireless communication with a communication device, and a control unit configured to control the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication. In a case where the radiation image transmission is being performed via the first wireless communication, the control unit performs control to disable at least one of transmission of the information and reception of the information via the second wireless communication.
