Terminal-Mediated Instrument Communication for Server Sound Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems for electronic musical instruments require significant user effort and time to utilize sound data from a server due to the need for manual input of connection information via less operable input devices.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that includes a terminal, an electronic device, and a server, utilizing a communication device connected to the electronic musical instrument for simplified setup and data transfer via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, enabling automatic connection to a network access point and server, and using device identifiers for secure and efficient data access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If communication-related instructions are given via the electronic musical instrument's input device, then the electronic musical instrument can receive sound data from the server, but the operability is lower and significant effort and time are required
Solution Approach 1:
A terminal device (such as a smartphone or tablet) is introduced as an intermediary between the user and the electronic musical instrument. The terminal has superior input capabilities and communicates with both the server and the electronic musical instrument, allowing users to provide communication instructions more easily through the terminal rather than directly through the instrument's limited input device.
2Productivity
If the electronic musical instrument directly communicates with the server, then data transfer is efficient, but the user input process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal acts as a mediator that handles the complex user input and communication protocol management. It receives instructions from the user, formats them appropriately, and transmits them to the electronic musical instrument and server, thereby maintaining efficient data transfer while simplifying user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal pre-processes communication instructions and prepares data packets before transmitting them to the electronic musical instrument and server. This preliminary action reduces the complexity of real-time processing and enables more efficient data transfer between the instrument and server.
Data Source
AI summary
A communication system including a terminal, an electronic device, and a server is provided. The terminal includes a login part logging in to the server, an identifier reception part receiving a device identifier corresponding to a user who has logged in, and a terminal instruction transmission part transmitting to the server the device identifier received by the identifier reception part and an instruction for the electronic device. The server includes an identifier storage part storing a user identifier in association with the device identifier of the electronic device corresponding to the user, an identifier transmission part acquiring device identifier corresponding to the user identifier and transmitting the device identifier to the terminal, a first server instruction reception part receiving the device identifier and the instruction for the electronic device, and a server instruction transmission part transmitting the received instruction to the electronic device corresponding to the received device identifier.
