MESSAGE RELAY APPARATUS, ONBOARD APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MESSAGE RELAY METHOD AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162953 titled 'MESSAGE RELAY APPARATUS, ONBOARD APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MESSAGE RELAY METHOD AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a message relay apparatus with two antennas that can receive and transmit messages between mobile devices based on setting information defining the relationship between the message distribution request area and the selected antenna.
- The apparatus includes a first antenna with directivity in one direction and a second antenna with directivity in a different direction.
- A reception part receives messages from a first mobile body directed to a second mobile body, including distribution request area information.
- An antenna selection part chooses the antenna (first or second) based on setting information related to the distribution request area.
- A transmission part sends the received message using the selected antenna.
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in:
- Mobile communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
- Wireless sensor networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient message relay between mobile devices
- Optimal antenna selection based on message distribution request area
Benefits
- Improved communication reliability
- Enhanced message transmission efficiency
- Better utilization of multiple antennas
Potential Commercial Applications
"Message Relay Apparatus for Mobile Communication Systems" can be applied in:
- Telecommunication companies
- IoT device manufacturers
- Wireless network providers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of multiple antennas in wireless communication systems to improve signal strength and reliability.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus handle interference from other devices in the vicinity?
The abstract does not mention how the apparatus deals with potential interference issues that may arise in crowded wireless environments.
What is the power consumption of the message relay apparatus?
The energy efficiency of the apparatus is not discussed in the abstract, which could be crucial for battery-powered devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a message relay apparatus includes: a first antenna that has a directivity in a first direction; a second antenna that has a directivity in a second direction different from the first direction; a reception part that can receive a message from a first mobile body, the message being directed to a second mobile body and including distribution request area information; an antenna selection part that selects a selection antenna from the first antenna and the second antenna on a basis of setting information, the setting information defining a relationship between a distribution request area indicated in the distribution request area information and an antenna to be selected as the selection antenna; and a transmission part that transmits the message received by the reception part using the selection antenna.
