Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable information terminals lack the ability to dynamically control data transmission and reception processes based on the connected access point, limiting flexibility in task execution priorities and environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a portable information terminal connects to access points and receives data, then data communication functionality is improved, but the ability to control task execution priorities and environments dynamically remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the execution parameters of tasks (such as execution priority, execution timing, and execution condition) based on the identified access point characteristics. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to the access point identifier, the system achieves flexible task execution control without requiring complex additional hardware or structural modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an access point identifier as an intermediary element that mediates between the access point connection and task execution control. This identifier serves as a key to retrieve pre-stored task execution control information, enabling indirect control of task parameters through a simple lookup mechanism rather than direct complex control logic.
2Adaptability or versatility
If task execution parameters are fixed for all access points, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different access point environments deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-storing task execution control information (execution priorities, conditions, and parameters) in the terminal before actual task execution. This information is organized and stored according to access point identifiers, allowing the system to quickly retrieve and apply appropriate parameters when connecting to specific access points without real-time complex decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables different task execution parameters to be set for different access points by retrieving pre-stored control information based on the access point identifier. This allows the same task to have different execution characteristics (priority, timing, conditions) depending on which access point is being used, achieving environment-specific adaptation.
3Ease of operation
If dynamic task execution control per access point is implemented, then task execution flexibility is improved, but control information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The access point identifier acts as a mediator that simplifies the management of control information. Instead of managing complex task parameters directly for each access point, the system uses the identifier as a key to retrieve pre-organized control information from storage, reducing the complexity of real-time parameter management while maintaining customization capabilities.

AI summary
First, one or more tasks each representing process contents of transmission or reception of data are set. Next, an access point is searched for, and a connection to the access point is performed if the access point is found. Then, before the one or more tasks are executed via the access point, an execution control parameter, for at least one of the one or more tasks, which indicates at least one of an execution instruction, whether or not to execute the task, and an execution priority, is obtained in accordance with an access point identifier. Then, transmission or reception of data is performed via the access point by executing at least one of the one or more tasks on the basis of the execution control parameter.
