COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION CONTROL APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240097786 titled 'COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION CONTROL APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The communication control system described in the abstract involves processes for carrying out communication with targets through optical fiber lines and free-space optical communication apparatuses. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:
- The system includes a main communication process for communication with targets via optical fiber lines.
- It has a specifying process to select a free-space optical communication target based on communication statuses.
- A sub communication process is used to communicate with the selected free-space optical communication target via free-space optical communication apparatuses.
- A selecting process determines the path for free-space optical communication based on various factors such as capacity, communication statuses, and processing capacities.
- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in scenarios where communication needs to switch between optical fiber lines and free-space optical communication, such as in satellite communication systems or high-speed data transfer networks.
- Problems Solved
This system solves the problem of efficiently selecting and communicating with free-space optical communication targets based on various factors, optimizing the communication process.
- Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved communication efficiency, better utilization of resources, and enhanced flexibility in communication network management.
- Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include telecommunications networks, satellite communication systems, data centers, and other high-speed communication environments.
- Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing systems that use a combination of optical fiber and free-space optical communication for data transfer. Research papers or patents related to optimizing communication paths based on various factors could also be considered as prior art.
- Unanswered Questions
- How does the system handle potential interference in free-space optical communication?
The abstract does not provide details on how the system mitigates interference in free-space optical communication. Further information on interference handling mechanisms would be beneficial.
- What is the scalability of this system for large-scale communication networks?
The scalability of the system for large-scale communication networks is not discussed in the abstract. Understanding how the system can be scaled up for extensive communication networks would be essential for practical implementation.
