Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for transmitting information from target apparatuses to servers often lack efficiency when using multiple portable terminals for wireless communication, as they do not account for varying reliability and capacity indices of these terminals.
Innovation Solution
A transmission apparatus that divides collection information into partial pieces and transmits them differently to multiple portable terminals based on their reliability and capacity indices, using either division transmission or redundancy transmission methods to optimize data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If information is transmitted to multiple portable terminals without considering their reliability and capacity indices, then the transmission can be performed simply, but the transmission efficiency and reliability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes transmission parameters (division transmission vs. redundancy transmission) based on the reliability index and capacity index of portable terminals. By dynamically adjusting transmission methods according to terminal parameters, the system achieves reliable information transmission while adapting to different terminal capabilities, thus resolving the contradiction between transmission reliability and control complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission control unit dynamically selects between division transmission and redundancy transmission based on real-time assessment of portable terminal indices. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize transmission reliability for each terminal according to its specific characteristics, balancing reliability improvement with controlled complexity through automated decision-making.
2Reliability
If the same information is transmitted to all portable terminals using redundancy transmission, then the information reliability is improved, but the transmission efficiency and bandwidth utilization are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information transmission into two distinct methods: division transmission that splits information across multiple terminals, and redundancy transmission that sends copies to ensure reliability. By segmenting the transmission approach based on terminal indices, the system achieves both high reliability through selective redundancy and high efficiency through optimized division transmission, resolving the contradiction between reliability and transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different transmission qualities (redundancy level) to different portable terminals based on their specific reliability and capacity indices. High-index terminals receive division-transmitted partial information, while lower-index terminals receive redundancy-transmitted complete information. This localized quality adjustment optimizes overall transmission efficiency while maintaining information reliability.
3Productivity
If information is divided and transmitted to multiple portable terminals, then the transmission speed and bandwidth utilization are improved, but the information loss risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares for potential information loss in division transmission by implementing redundancy transmission as a cushioning mechanism. When terminal reliability indices indicate risk, the system beforehand sends redundant complete information to ensure information completeness is maintained even when fast division transmission is used, thus resolving the contradiction between transmission speed and information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission control unit acts as an intermediary that mediates between division transmission (for speed) and redundancy transmission (for completeness). Based on portable terminal indices, the intermediary selects the appropriate transmission method, ensuring that information is transmitted quickly when reliable and complete when necessary, thus balancing transmission speed with information completeness.
4Ease of operation
If the transmission apparatus uses wide area wireless communication function, then the information can be transmitted directly to the server, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission apparatus achieves multi-functionality by using portable terminals as intermediate relays, eliminating the need for dedicated wide area wireless communication hardware in the transmission apparatus. The portable terminals, which already possess wide area communication capabilities, serve the dual purpose of receiving information via short-distance wireless communication and transmitting it to the server, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining transmission directness.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable terminal acts as an intermediary between the transmission apparatus and the server, mediating the information transmission process. This intermediary approach allows the transmission apparatus to use simple short-distance wireless communication while still achieving direct server transmission through the terminal's wide area communication capability, thus resolving the contradiction between transmission directness and device complexity.
