- Estimation based on movement route information of a mobile object
- Path change process adjusts communication path based on interruption estimation
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles for seamless communication while in motion
- Drone delivery systems for uninterrupted data transmission
Problems Solved
- Ensures continuous communication in dynamic environments
- Minimizes data loss due to interruptions in free-space optical communication
Benefits
- Improved reliability of free-space optical communication networks
- Enhanced efficiency in data transmission for mobile objects
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing communication paths in:
- Smart city infrastructure
- Industrial automation systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of similar interruption estimation and path change processes in satellite communication systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle multiple mobile objects moving within the communication area simultaneously?
The patent application does not specify how the system manages interruptions and path changes when multiple mobile objects are present in the communication area.
What is the range limitation of the free-space optical communication network in this system?
The patent application does not mention the maximum range over which the system can effectively estimate interruptions and change communication paths.
Original Abstract Submitted
A free-space optical communication control system includes at least one processor. The at least one processor carries out: an interruption estimation process of estimating an interruption of free-space optical communication over a free-space optical communication network in accordance with movement route information that indicates a movement route of a mobile object movable within a communication area of the free-space optical communication network; and a path change process of changing a free-space optical communication path in accordance with an estimation result of the interruption estimation process.
