Innovation Solution
An information processing system with a delay control device that measures and adjusts the delay between transmission/reception devices connected to computing machines and user interfaces, using a circuit-switched network to stabilize communication and equalize delays among users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a user interface device and a computing machine are installed at distant places, then the user can operate the computing machine from a remote location, but a delay occurs in the communication path between the user interface device and the computing machine
Solution Approach 1:
A delay control device is introduced as an intermediary component between the user interface device and the computing machine. This device measures the communication delay in real-time and dynamically adjusts transmission parameters to compensate for the delay, thereby maintaining responsive remote operation while allowing geographically distributed deployment
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional transmission techniques are used for remote connection, then the system is simple to implement, but the delay cannot be controlled and varies with network conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The delay control device continuously measures the actual communication delay and uses this feedback information to dynamically adjust transmission parameters. This closed-loop control mechanism ensures stable delay performance even when network conditions change, while the device itself remains a relatively simple addition to the existing remote desktop infrastructure
