RELAY DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING COMMUNICATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943951 titled 'RELAY DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING COMMUNICATION PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a relay device that performs reset processing in response to a change in communication rate with a first device and requests a second device to suppress fault detection processing when communication between the second device and the first device is not possible.

  • The relay device is configured to reset its communication with a first device when there is a change in the communication rate.
  • After performing the reset processing, the relay device sends a request to a second device to suppress fault detection processing.
  • The fault detection processing is aimed at identifying cases where communication between the second device and the first device is not possible.
  • By suppressing the fault detection processing, the relay device can prevent unnecessary alerts or actions when communication issues are already being addressed.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wired communication systems where relay devices are used to enhance connectivity and reliability.
  • It can be used in industrial automation systems, smart grid networks, telecommunications networks, and other similar applications.

Problems Solved

  • The technology addresses the problem of communication rate changes affecting the stability of wired communication between devices.
  • It solves the issue of unnecessary fault detection alerts or actions when communication issues are already being resolved.

Benefits

  • The relay device ensures that communication with the first device remains stable by performing reset processing in response to communication rate changes.
  • By requesting the second device to suppress fault detection processing, unnecessary alerts or actions can be avoided, reducing system overhead and improving efficiency.
  • The technology enhances the overall reliability and performance of wired communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A relay device that is configured to: perform reset processing in relation to wired communication with a first device in response to a change in a communication rate of the wired communication with the first device; and in response to performing the reset processing, make a request to a second device to suppress processing relating to fault detection that detects cases in which communication between the second device and the first device is not possible.
