Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems for online grocery shopping do not generate data for controlling devices and servers effectively, leaving a gap in managing device data across different servers and control apparatuses.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system comprising a first server, a second server, and a control apparatus that receives device data from a terminal, creates device type master data for the second server, and control data for the control apparatus, allowing for unified management of device data across multiple servers and apparatuses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If device data is received from terminal and processed through existing online grocery shopping systems, then merchandise information can be generated for online shopping, but device control data and server management data cannot be effectively generated or managed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata generation capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing function into two distinct data generation processes: first data for server management and second data for device control. This segmentation allows each data type to be processed and managed independently through dedicated processing units, enabling the system to handle multiple data requirements without increasing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first server is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both the receiver of device data from terminals and the creator of both first data (for second server) and second data (for control apparatus). This universal server structure eliminates the need for separate dedicated systems for each data generation task, maintaining system simplicity while expanding adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If separate data processing is implemented for server data and control apparatus data, then data management becomes more precise, but system complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata management precisionVSAvoidprocessing structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the generation of first data and second data within a single processing architecture at the first server. Both data types are created from the same device data input, and both can be transmitted through the second server or directly to the control apparatus. This merging approach achieves precise data management for different purposes without requiring separate processing systems, thereby avoiding increased complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

An information processing system includes a first server, a second server connected to the first server, and a control apparatus connected to the second server and configured to control one or more devices. The first server includes: a first receiving unit configured to receive data about the one or more devices from a terminal connected to the first server; and a creating unit configured to create first data for the second server and second data for the control apparatus, from the received data about the one or more devices. The second server includes: a registration unit configured to save the first data in a storage unit; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the second data to the control apparatus.
