COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18467294 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for confirming the transmission of information to an onboard apparatus mounted on a vehicle using a communication apparatus that follows an MQTT protocol.

  • Communication apparatus mounted on a vehicle
  • Performs specific communication according to an MQTT protocol
  • Receives first information from an external apparatus and transmits it to the onboard apparatus
  • Receives second information indicating completion of reception by the onboard apparatus
  • Transmits third information notifying the external apparatus of the completion of reception by the onboard apparatus

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and fleet management where real-time communication and confirmation of data transmission are crucial.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of ensuring that information sent to an onboard apparatus on a vehicle is successfully received and processed, reducing the risk of miscommunication or data loss.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data transmission reliability, enhanced communication efficiency between external and onboard apparatus, and streamlined information flow within a vehicle system.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Enhancing Communication Reliability in Vehicle Systems with Onboard Apparatus Confirmation Technology"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that use traditional communication protocols for transmitting data to onboard vehicle systems, without the specific confirmation process described in this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle cases where the onboard apparatus fails to confirm reception of the transmitted information?

The patent application does not provide details on the protocol for handling situations where the confirmation process fails or is delayed.

Are there any limitations to the type or size of data that can be transmitted and confirmed using this technology?

The patent application does not specify any restrictions or limitations regarding the type or size of data that can be transmitted and confirmed through the described system.


Original Abstract Submitted

An object is to confirm that information transmitted to an onboard apparatus mounted on a vehicle has been transmitted to the onboard apparatus. A communication apparatus is mounted on a vehicle and performs specific communication according to an MQTT protocol. A controller of the communication apparatus receives first information transmitted to an onboard apparatus mounted on the vehicle from an external apparatus, which is a transmission source of the first information, by the specific communication, and transmits the received first information to the onboard apparatus. The controller of the communication apparatus receives second information showing that the onboard apparatus has completed reception of the first information, from the onboard apparatus. Then, when receiving the second information, the controller of the communication apparatus transmits third information notifying that the onboard apparatus has completed reception of the first information, to the external apparatus by the specific communication.
