COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107094 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in the patent application performs time synchronization using a received time synchronization packet. In cases where an image packet needs to be transferred to a different communication apparatus during the transmission of the time synchronization packet, the apparatus divides the image packet into multiple packets and transfers them to the other device.

  • Division unit divides image packets during time synchronization packet transmission.
  • Transfer unit sends divided image packets to a different communication apparatus.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various fields such as:

  • Telecommunications
  • Data transfer systems
  • Network synchronization

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the following issues:

  • Ensuring accurate time synchronization during data transfer
  • Efficient transfer of large image packets during synchronization processes

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved time synchronization accuracy
  • Seamless transfer of data packets during synchronization
  • Enhanced efficiency in communication systems

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be utilized in commercial applications such as:

  • Telecommunication networks
  • Image transfer systems
  • Real-time data processing applications

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of time synchronization packets in communication systems to ensure accurate data transfer and synchronization.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus handle potential data loss during the division and transfer of image packets?

The patent abstract does not provide details on how the apparatus manages data loss or errors during the division and transfer process.

What is the impact of the divided image packets on the overall data transfer speed and efficiency?

The abstract does not mention the potential impact of dividing image packets on the speed and efficiency of data transfer.


Original Abstract Submitted

a communication apparatus that performs time synchronization using a received time synchronization packet includes a division unit configured to, in a case where an image packet to be transferred to a different communication apparatus exists during a period during which the time synchronization packet is to be transmitted, divide the image packet into a plurality of divided image packets, and a transfer unit configured to transfer the plurality of divided image packets to the different communication apparatus.
