Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems struggle to transmit and receive setting information between devices with incompatible settings, leading to a lack of compatibility and effective reflection of setting intentions.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a processor to read operation histories and generate commands based on these histories, allowing devices with different parameter configurations to transmit and receive setting information, including scripts that adjust settings according to the intended use of the export device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If setting information is transmitted between devices with different configurations, then setting intention can be reflected, but compatibility issues arise when devices have no setting information compatibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesetting information compatibilityVSAvoidsetting reflection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter representation from fixed setting values to executable commands with conditional logic. Commands include condition judgments (if-then structures) and parameter assignment operations that adapt settings based on device state, enabling compatible setting transmission across different device configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a command interpretation mechanism as an intermediary between setting information and device configuration. The import device executes commands that contain both setting values and conditional logic, allowing the system to mediate between incompatible device configurations while preserving setting intentions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If setting information is directly transmitted without commands, then transmission is simple, but setting intention cannot be reflected when device configurations differ

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesetting transmission simplicityVSAvoidcross-device setting compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by embedding condition judgments and parameter assignments within commands before transmission. The export device analyzes its own configuration and generates commands with appropriate conditional logic that anticipates compatibility issues, preparing the setting information in advance for successful import on different devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms static setting values into dynamic commands that can adapt to different device states. Commands contain conditional structures that evaluate device-specific parameters and adjust settings accordingly, making the setting transmission process dynamic rather than rigid

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If commands with condition judgments and parameter assignments are added to setting information, then setting intention can be reflected across incompatible devices, but the complexity of setting information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesetting compatibility across devicesVSAvoidsetting information structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments setting information into discrete command units, each containing a specific condition judgment or parameter assignment operation. This segmentation allows the complex setting information to be broken down into manageable, independently executable components that can be processed systematically by the import device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An information processing system includes at least one processor configured to include a command, in which a setting value is changed depending on a condition applied to a first device, in setting information that is input to a second device different from the first device in order to reflect settings of the first device in the second device.
