ACCEPTANCE JUDGMENT APPARATUS AND ACCEPTANCE JUDGMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18030140 titled 'ACCEPTANCE JUDGMENT APPARATUS AND ACCEPTANCE JUDGMENT METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication system that includes a branching device, acceptance judgement apparatuses, and processing devices.

  • The branching device broadcasts multiple signals.
  • The acceptance judgement apparatuses are connected to the branching device.
  • Each acceptance judgement apparatus is connected to a processing device and performs processing based on received signals.
  • The acceptance judgement apparatus includes a reception unit, determination unit, and transfer unit.
  • The reception unit receives one of the broadcasted signals.
  • The determination unit decides whether to transfer the received signal to the connected processing device.
  • The determination is based on the received signal and previously received signals.
  • The transfer unit transfers the signal to the processing device if determined to transfer.
  • The transfer unit discards the signal if determined not to transfer.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system includes a branching device, a plurality of acceptance judgement apparatuses connected to the branching device, and processing devices each connected respective one of the plurality of acceptance judgement apparatuses and performing processing according to a received signal. The acceptance judgement apparatus includes a reception unit, a determination unit, and a transfer unit. The reception unit receives one of a plurality of signals which have been broadcast by the branching device. The determination unit determines whether or not to transfer a first signal that is a signal which has been received by the reception unit to one of the processing devices connected to the own apparatus on the basis of the first signal and one or more second signals that are one or more signals which have been received by the reception unit before the first signal. The transfer unit transfers the first signal to one of the processing devices connected to the own apparatus when the determination unit determines to transfer the first signal, and discards the first signal when the determination unit determines not to transfer the first signal.
