Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems between information processing apparatuses lack enhancement in zest, as they do not effectively utilize position data for enhanced information processing and communication efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer-readable information processing program that enables information processing apparatuses with wireless communication functions to obtain and exchange position data, allowing for predetermined information processing based on received position data from other apparatuses, thereby enhancing communication efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If position data exchange is implemented through wireless communication, then communication efficiency and user experience are improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments position data into discrete exchangeable units between information processing apparatuses. Each apparatus independently obtains, transmits, and processes position data segments through wireless communication, allowing modular implementation that improves communication efficiency while managing system complexity through division of functions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If position data is repeatedly obtained and exchanged, then real-time communication accuracy is improved, but energy consumption and communication overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveposition data accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic position data exchange where information processing apparatuses obtain and transmit position data at predetermined time intervals. This periodic action maintains real-time communication accuracy by regularly updating position information while managing energy consumption through structured, interval-based communication rather than continuous data exchange.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus having a wireless communication function. The information processing program causes the computer to function as position data obtaining means for obtaining position data indicating a position of the information processing apparatus, data transmission and reception means for transmitting the position data obtained by the position data obtaining means to another information processing apparatus within coverage through wireless communication and receiving position data obtained by position data obtaining means of another information processing apparatus through wireless communication, and processing performing means for performing predetermined information processing based on the position data received from another information processing apparatus through the data transmission and reception means.
