Information Processing With Shared-Area Registration Signals

Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

When a second information processing system remotely operated by a first information processing system instructs a server to register data, the first system does not efficiently confirm whether the data has been registered, leading to inefficiencies and increased resource usage due to continuous monitoring.

Innovation Solution

The first information processing system monitors a shared area between itself and the second system, and upon detection of registration information in this area, it initiates monitoring of the server to confirm data registration, reducing unnecessary server checks and resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the first information processing system constantly monitors whether data has been registered to the server, then it can confirm data registration status, but it increases resource consumption and monitoring costs

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata registration confirmationVSAvoidmonitoring resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The second information processing system performs preliminary action by storing registration information in the shared area before actually registering data to the server. This allows the first system to check the shared area first (low-cost operation) and only initiate server monitoring when necessary, resolving the contradiction between reliable confirmation and resource consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The shared area acts as an intermediary between the first and second information processing systems. It enables communication and coordination without requiring constant direct monitoring of the server by the first system, thus reducing monitoring resource consumption while maintaining reliable data registration confirmation capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the first information processing system continuously monitors server data registration, then it ensures data is registered, but it increases monitoring time and delays other operations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata registration confirmationVSAvoidmonitoring time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The second system stores registration information in the shared area as a preliminary action before server registration completes. This allows the first system to quickly check the shared area and only initiate time-consuming server monitoring when the shared area indicates potential registration status, significantly reducing overall monitoring time while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of continuous monitoring, the system uses periodic checking of the shared area followed by conditional server monitoring. This periodic action pattern reduces monitoring time and allows other operations to proceed while still ensuring data registration confirmation when needed

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An information processing system includes one or more processors configured to: monitor a shared area within the information processing system that is shared between the information processing system and an other information processing system remotely operated by the information processing system; and in a case where registration information indicating that the other information processing system has registered data in a server is stored in the shared area, start monitoring whether or not the data has been registered in the server.
