Wireless Tag Facsimile Transmission Error Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional facsimile transmission systems rely solely on operator checks, which can lead to transmission errors due to human oversight, particularly in specifying the destination, and reduce operator efficiency when handling confidential information.
Innovation Solution
A communication device and system that utilize a wireless tag to associate identification data with transmit data, allowing for dual verification of content and destination before transmission, ensuring accurate and secure facsimile transmission by displaying the data on a display unit for operator confirmation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple operators check the transmit data to prevent transmission errors, then transmission reliability is improved, but the time required for checking increases and operator efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the transmit data (image data and destination information) and displays it on the display unit. Multiple operators can simultaneously view this copied display without needing to gather around a single screen, enabling parallel checking while reducing the time burden on each operator
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-point viewing arrangement to a multi-point viewing arrangement by displaying the transmit data on a display unit that can be viewed by multiple operators simultaneously. This spatial dimensionality change allows parallel verification without sequential delays
2Measurement precision
If the image data is displayed immediately after reading for operator checking, then transmission accuracy can be verified, but multiple operators cannot simultaneously check the data without excessive time requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit creates a visual copy of the transmit data that can be simultaneously accessed by multiple operators. This copying mechanism allows parallel verification of data accuracy without requiring operators to take turns viewing a single display, thereby maintaining verification precision while improving operational throughput
3Reliability
If manual checking by operators is used to verify transmit data, then transmission errors can be detected, but human oversight may still lead to errors in specifying destination
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit provides a clear visual copy of both the transmit data and destination information, enabling operators to easily verify the correctness of transmission parameters. This visual copying mechanism simplifies the checking process while maintaining high error detection capability, as operators can quickly compare the displayed information against their requirements without complex procedures
