Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems cannot easily change communication bandwidth without modifying the configuration of the data decomposition/composition converter.

Innovation Solution

A communication system with multiple transceiver devices, where each transmission device generates and uses identification information from unit data to determine whether to transmit data to a corresponding reception device or send it to another transmission device, allowing for dynamic adjustment of communication pathways and bandwidth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple radio communication devices and data decomposition/composition converters are used to broaden communication bandwidth, then communication speed is improved, but device complexity increases and bandwidth cannot be easily changed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidconverter configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments communication functions into independent transceiver devices, where each device handles specific unit data transmission. The data decomposition function is distributed across multiple transmission devices rather than centralized in a single converter, allowing independent configuration and easier bandwidth adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables dynamic bandwidth adjustment by allowing transmission devices to be added or removed from the series connection without requiring reconfiguration of a central converter. The identification information mechanism dynamically routes unit data to appropriate reception devices based on current system configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple transmission devices are connected in series with identification information routing, then bandwidth adjustment becomes easier, but data routing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth adjustabilityVSAvoiddata routing logic
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each transmission device automatically determines its own role in data routing by comparing its stored identification information with the identification information embedded in received unit data. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for centralized routing control and simplifies the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Identification information is preliminarily embedded in unit data during the decomposition process, enabling transmission devices to make routing decisions based on pre-prepared identification markers. This preliminary action simplifies real-time routing logic by providing clear identification cues before data transmission begins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This communication system is equipped with a plurality of transceiver devices each composed of a transmission device that transmits unit data and a reception device that receives unit data from the transmission device. The transmission devices are connected in series. Each of the transmission devices stores identification information for identifying the device itself. The transmission device accepts unit data from a front stage side. The transmission device generates identification information for identifying one of the transmission devices from information included in the accepted unit data, in accordance with a predetermined generation process. In a case that the generated identification information corresponds to the stored identification information, the transmission device transmits the accepted unit data to the reception device. In a case that the generated identification information does not correspond to the stored identification information, the transmission device sends the accepted unit data to a back stage side.
