Secondary Device Control Unit for Sensor Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable sensor and information systems face delays in graphical data transmission due to large data volumes, which increases energy consumption and reduces battery life.
Innovation Solution
A secondary device with a control unit that generates graphic presentations locally using minimal interpretation instructions, reducing data transmission by only sending text-based display instructions, and incorporating templates for acoustic, optical, and haptic signals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If graphical presentations are transmitted to the secondary device, then the user receives visual information, but the data transmission time increases and energy consumption rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential text information from the complete graphical presentation and transmits it to the secondary device. The control unit generates a graphic presentation based on this extracted text information using stored templates, rather than transmitting the entire graphical data. This extraction principle reduces data transmission volume while maintaining information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses templates stored in the control unit as copies of graphical presentations. Instead of transmitting original graphical data, the system transmits text information that references these template copies, which are then populated with the transmitted text to recreate the graphical presentation locally on the secondary device.
2Loss of information
If graphical presentations are transmitted to the secondary device, then the user receives visual information, but energy consumption increases and battery life decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential text information from the complete graphical presentation and transmits it to the secondary device. The control unit generates a graphic presentation based on this extracted text information using stored templates, rather than transmitting the entire graphical data. This extraction principle reduces data transmission volume while maintaining information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses templates stored in the control unit as copies of graphical presentations. Instead of transmitting original graphical data, the system transmits text information that references these template copies, which are then populated with the transmitted text to recreate the graphical presentation locally on the secondary device.
3Loss of information
If complete graphical data is transmitted, then high-quality visual presentation is achieved, but data transmission volume is large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential text information from the complete graphical presentation and transmits it to the secondary device. The control unit generates a graphic presentation based on this extracted text information using stored templates, rather than transmitting the entire graphical data. This extraction principle reduces data transmission volume while maintaining information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses templates stored in the control unit as copies of graphical presentations. Instead of transmitting original graphical data, the system transmits text information that references these template copies, which are then populated with the transmitted text to recreate the graphical presentation locally on the secondary device.

AI summary
A secondary device for a sensor and/or information system, including a display and a control unit, is proposed. Predetermined interpretation instructions are stored in the control unit. The control unit is configured to wirelessly receive a display instruction containing at least one interpretation information and at least one text information. The control unit is configured to generate a graphic presentation containing the text information using the stored interpretation instructions on the basis of the interpretation information of the display instruction, and to display the graphic presentation by means of the display. Furthermore, a sensor and/or information system and a method of operating a sensor and/or information system are proposed.
