Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Satellite communication users face burdensome processes for connecting and disconnecting from the Internet, leading to delayed instructions and difficulties in remote operations, especially when users cannot be reached by phone or are not constantly connected.
Innovation Solution
A satellite communication device equipped with an acquiring section, storing section, and control section that automatically performs predetermined processes based on instruction information received through line switching type communication or VoIP, allowing for remote operation without user intervention and enabling automatic answering of calls from registered numbers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If satellite communication is used for remote operations, then communication capability in remote regions is improved, but user burden increases due to manual connection and disconnection processes
Solution Approach 1:
The satellite communication device automatically performs connection and disconnection processes without requiring user intervention. The device monitors its own communication state and executes appropriate actions (connection/disconnection) based on detected conditions, thereby reducing user burden while maintaining communication capability.
2Loss of energy
If manual connection process is required, then communication fee can be controlled, but instruction delivery is delayed when user cannot be reached
Solution Approach 1:
The device includes a notification unit that provides feedback to remote operators about the current communication state (connected or disconnected). This enables operators to understand whether instructions can be delivered immediately or if the device needs to be connected first, reducing delays caused by unreachable users.
Solution Approach 2:
The device can automatically connect to the satellite network in advance when it detects that instructions are pending, ensuring that communication channels are ready before instructions need to be delivered, thus reducing delivery time while maintaining fee control through automatic disconnection when not needed.
3Ease of operation
If automatic process execution is implemented, then user burden is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit automatically manages connection and disconnection processes by monitoring communication state and executing appropriate actions without user intervention. This self-service approach reduces user burden while the automated nature of the process helps manage complexity by eliminating manual workflow requirements.

AI summary
An object of the present invention is to provide a satellite communication device which receives instructions from a remote place and automatically carries out a predetermined process. The satellite communication device includes an acquiring section, a storing section, and a control section. The acquiring section acquires instruction information through an artificial satellite by line switching type communication. The storing section stores the instruction information and a registered process by established correspondence. The control section reads out a process corresponding to the instruction information acquired by the acquiring section based on storage contents of the storing section, and carries out the process that has been read out.
