COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040491 titled 'COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a communication control system that consists of multiple control devices and controlled devices. The control devices communicate through a network, and each control device controls a respective set of controlled devices. The control devices acquire emergency stop group information, which includes the emergency stop group numbers of the control devices. They then calculate the total number of emergency stop groups and create slice information to connect to the same number of UPFs (User Plane Functions) as the total number of emergency stop groups. The control devices register themselves with a 5G network, acquire UPF destination information, and store this information in a destination conversion table, associating each emergency stop group number with a destination UPF without duplicating any destination UPF between the emergency stop groups.
- The communication control system includes multiple control devices and controlled devices.
- Control devices communicate through a network.
- Each control device controls a respective set of controlled devices.
- Control devices acquire emergency stop group information.
- Emergency stop group information includes the emergency stop group numbers of the control devices.
- Control devices calculate the total number of emergency stop groups.
- Control devices create slice information for connecting to the same number of UPFs as the total number of emergency stop groups.
- Control devices register themselves with a 5G network.
- Control devices acquire UPF destination information.
- Control devices store UPF destination information in a destination conversion table.

- Efficient allocation of resources in communication networks
Original Abstract Submitted
a communication control system () includes a plurality of control devices () that communicate via a g network and a plurality of controlled devices () respectively controlled by the plurality of control devices (). a control device () acquires, from emergency stop group information, emergency stop group numbers of emergency stop groups to which the control devices () belong. then, the control device () calculates the total number of emergency stop groups, and creates slice information for connecting to the same number of upfs as the total number of emergency stop groups. the control device () registers itself with the 5g network, acquires upf destination information, which is destination information to upfs (), and stores, in a destination conversion table, information in which each emergency stop group number is associated with a destination upf without duplication of a destination upf () between the emergency stop groups.
