Relaying Device Tag Conversion for Service Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Service servers face issues when instructed to store tag information that does not conform to predetermined rules associated with contents data, leading to potential recognition problems and compatibility issues across different services.
Innovation Solution
A relaying device is introduced, equipped with a network interface, processor, and memory to store tagging rule information. It receives designated tag information, determines if it conforms to the rules, converts it if necessary, and transmits the converted information to the service server, ensuring compatibility across services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the service server stores tag information without verification, then the operation is simple and fast, but the tag information may not conform to predetermined rules causing recognition problems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a relaying device as an intermediary between the terminal device and service server. This mediator verifies tag information against predetermined rules before forwarding it to the service server, ensuring rule conformance without complicating the service server's storage operation. The relaying device acts as a buffer that maintains both operational simplicity and information reliability.
2Reliability
If the service server verifies tag information conformance, then the tag information reliability is improved, but the processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the tag verification function from the service server and places it in a dedicated relaying device. This separation allows the service server to focus on its core storage function while the relaying device handles verification complexity. The segmentation distributes the workload and prevents the service server from becoming overloaded with verification logic.
3Adaptability or versatility
If different services have different tagging rules, then each service can maintain its specific requirements, but compatibility issues arise across services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically adjusting tag information based on the predetermined rules of the target service. The relaying device modifies tagging parameters (such as format, structure, or content) to match the specific service requirements while ensuring overall compatibility. This allows each service to maintain its unique tagging characteristics without causing system-wide compatibility issues.

AI summary
A relaying device may comprise a network interface configured to connect with a network; a processor coupled to the network interface; and a memory configured to store tagging rule information and instructions. The tagging rule information may concern a tagging rule relating to tag information for a service server capable of storing at least one tag information in association with stored contents data. The relaying may receive designated tag information designated by an image processing device. The relaying device may determine whether the received designated tag information conforms to the tagging rule. Only when it is determined that the received designated tag information does not conform to the tagging rule, the relaying may convert the received designated tag information into converted tag information. The converted tag information may conform to the tagging rule. The relaying may transmit, via the network interface, the converted tag information to the service server.
