Solution Overview

Problem

Current data communication systems face substantial processing volumes due to calculating differences or similarity ratios for every message, which hampers efficient information transmission over communication networks with limited bandwidth.

Innovation Solution

A transmission apparatus that selects message identifiers associated with a specific service from history information, calculates similarity ratios, and transmits differences between messages with high similarity ratios, reducing the number of calculations and processing load.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of substance

If difference calculation is performed for every message in history information, then communication volume is reduced, but processing volume becomes substantial

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication volumeVSAvoidprocessing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the history information by service identifier, dividing it into multiple service-specific groups. Instead of calculating differences against all history information, the system only calculates differences against messages within the same service group, significantly reducing the number of comparisons and processing volume while maintaining effective communication volume reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary grouping of history information by service identifier before the difference calculation process. This preliminary organization allows the system to quickly identify relevant comparison messages and avoid unnecessary calculations, reducing processing volume while achieving the same communication optimization goal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If similarity ratio calculation is performed for all messages, then message similarity can be identified, but processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage similarity identificationVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comparison process by service identifier, so that similarity ratios are only calculated between messages of the same service type. This segmentation reduces the total number of similarity calculations required while ensuring that relevant similarity information is accurately identified for each service category.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs similarity ratio calculations only for a subset of messages that are relevant to the current service identifier, rather than calculating similarities against all messages in history. This partial action approach reduces processing load while maintaining sufficient accuracy for identifying message similarity within the same service context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed is a transmission apparatus or the like that is able to transmit information efficiently. The transmission apparatus, on the basis of history information which includes a service identifier and a message identifier associated therewith, transmits a difference between a third message having a large similarity ratio to a second message included in a specific service and the second message, and a message identifier identifying the second message via a communication network.
