Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data processing systems in factory automation cannot determine whether query processing operations are executed successively or interrupted, limiting their remote use and convenience.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data is transmitted selectively based on predetermined output conditions, then transmission efficiency is improved, but the receiving apparatus cannot determine whether processing operations are executed successively or interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a flag as an intermediary element that mediates between the data transmission system and the receiving apparatus. This flag indicates whether processing operations are executed successively or interrupted, allowing the receiving apparatus to understand the execution continuity without requiring transmission of all processed data. The flag acts as a compact information carrier that resolves the information loss problem while maintaining transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transmitting the actual processed data to convey execution continuity information, the patent creates a simplified copy or representation in the form of a flag. This flag copies only the essential information about execution continuity (successive or interrupted) without transmitting the full data set, thereby maintaining transmission efficiency while preserving the necessary information for the receiving apparatus.
2Loss of information
If all processed data is transmitted to the receiving apparatus, then complete information is provided, but transmission load increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed by the receiving apparatus - specifically, the flag indicating execution continuity. Instead of transmitting all processed data, the system takes out and transmits only this critical piece of information. This extraction approach maintains information completeness for the receiving apparatus's needs while dramatically improving transmission efficiency by eliminating redundant data transmission.
3Loss of energy
If selective data transmission is implemented, then transmission bandwidth is optimized, but the receiving apparatus loses context about data transmission continuity
Solution Approach 1:
The flag serves as an intermediary that carries transmission continuity context from the transmitting apparatus to the receiving apparatus. This single-bit or minimal-information flag mediates the communication gap created by selective data transmission, providing the receiving apparatus with the context needed to understand whether data transmission is continuous or interrupted, thereby optimizing bandwidth utilization without losing essential context information.
Data Source
AI summary
A data processing apparatus executes a process on each piece of data repetitively transmitted from a device and transmits processing information on the process to a receiving apparatus, and includes an outputter and a GW communicator. The outputter acquires conditional information, indicating whether a transmission condition required for transmission of generation data generated in execution of the process to the receiving apparatus is satisfied, after every generation of generation data. When the conditional information indicates satisfaction of the transmission condition for the piece of generation data, the outputter outputs additional information on satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the transmission condition for at least one of another piece of generation data generated immediately before or after the piece of generation data. The GW communicator transmits the processing information including the generation data for which the condition is satisfied and the additional information to the receiving apparatus.
