Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of event planning and management systems, and in particular to an intelligent event planning and management method and system for outdoor events. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous growth in participation in outdoor sports, various event platforms mainly focus on the release of event information and the implementation of online registration functions. After completing the registration for a single event, users often need to manually record and manage their subsequent participation arrangements using calendars, notes, or other third-party tools. This fragmented management method makes it difficult for users to intuitively grasp the overall planning progress of their events throughout the year or multiple events on a single platform. Due to the lack of an automatic linkage mechanism between the platform and the event database, users must manually enter information such as event name, time, and location when creating a participation plan. This process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also highly susceptible to inconsistencies between the event information and the actual data due to manual input errors, which in turn affects subsequent travel arrangements and preparation.

[0003] Furthermore, the registration process is disconnected from long-term participation planning, making it difficult for users to easily integrate events into their existing annual plans during registration. This results in event information being scattered across different entry points, lacking a unified management perspective, and ultimately reducing user efficiency and continued reliance on the platform. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an intelligent participation plan management method and system for outdoor events to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an intelligent participation plan management method and system for outdoor events. This solves the technical problem that existing outdoor event platforms lack an automatic association mechanism with event data, which leads to users having to manually enter and manage participation information in a decentralized manner, resulting in low planning efficiency and susceptibility to errors.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an intelligent participation plan management method for outdoor events, comprising: Step 1: In response to the user-triggered event plan creation request, obtain the event name entered by the user; Step 2: Based on the event name, automatically retrieve and match the corresponding event data in the preset event database. The event data includes at least the event time and event location. Step 3: Fill the event data into the event plan creation interface, receive the confirmation instruction submitted by the user, and generate an event plan entry; Step 4: Integrate the competition plan items into the competition plan list in chronological order, and display the countdown days for each competition plan item in the competition plan list.

[0006] Furthermore, in step one, the event plan creation request triggered by the user is generated by clicking the "Add Event Plan" button on the event plan page.

[0007] Furthermore, in step two, automatically retrieving and matching the corresponding event data includes: If a unique event matching the event name is found, the event data of that unique event is directly obtained; If multiple candidate events matching the event name are found, a list of candidate events is generated for the user to choose from, and the event data for the corresponding event is obtained based on the user's selection.

[0008] Furthermore, in step two, the event data also includes the event type.

[0009] Furthermore, in step three, before receiving the confirmation instruction submitted by the user, the method also includes allowing the user to modify and supplement the automatically populated event data.

[0010] Furthermore, following step four, the following also includes: In response to a user's edit operation on any entry in the competition plan list, the information of that entry is modified; or in response to a user's delete operation on any entry in the competition plan list, that entry is removed from the competition plan list.

[0011] Furthermore, in step four, the list of participating plans is displayed using a timeline view divided by year.

[0012] Furthermore, following step four, the following also includes: When the list of competition plans is empty, an empty status prompt is displayed to guide the user to add a competition plan.

[0013] Furthermore, following step four, the following also includes: The event registration data completed by the user at the registration portal will be automatically synchronized to the list of competition plans and a corresponding competition plan entry will be generated.

[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides an intelligent participation plan management system for outdoor events, comprising: The input module is used to respond to a user-triggered event plan creation request and obtain the event name entered by the user. The matching module is used to automatically retrieve and match corresponding event data in a preset event database based on the event name. The event data includes at least the event time and event location. The generation module is used to populate the event data into the event plan creation interface, receive the confirmation instruction submitted by the user, and generate an event plan entry. The display module is used to integrate the competition plan entries into the competition plan list in chronological order, and to display the countdown days for each competition plan entry in the competition plan list.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By establishing an automatic association and matching mechanism between the event name entered by the user and the preset event database, this invention achieves intelligent data filling for events. Users are no longer required to manually enter detailed information such as event time and location, significantly simplifying the creation process of the competition plan and greatly improving planning efficiency. Simultaneously, since the event data comes from the platform's database, it avoids formatting errors and information omissions that may occur with manual entry, effectively reducing the inaccuracy of the competition plan information. Furthermore, this invention integrates all competition plan entries into a unified competition plan list in chronological order and displays the countdown days in real time. This allows users to intuitively grasp the overall planning progress of events throughout the year or multiple events on a single interface, completely changing the previous situation where event registration and long-term planning were separate and information was managed in a fragmented manner. This provides users with an integrated closed-loop experience from registration to planning and progress tracking, enhancing user dependence on the platform and user stickiness.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the intelligent participation plan management method for outdoor events according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following non-limiting embodiments are intended to enable those skilled in the art to more fully understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that the following embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. If those skilled in the art make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above description, they shall still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides an intelligent participation plan management method for outdoor events, comprising the following steps: Step 1: In response to the user-triggered event plan creation request, obtain the event name entered by the user.

[0019] Specifically, this step involves monitoring user interactions on the race plan page. When a user clicks the "Add Race Plan" button, a creation request is triggered, at which point the system waits for the user to input the race name. By transforming the user's planning intent into initial input that the system can recognize, a data starting point is provided for subsequent automated processing. This avoids the tedious process of users having to fill in all race information from scratch, making the entire creation process simpler and more efficient.

[0020] Step 2: Based on the event name, automatically retrieve and match the corresponding event data in the preset event database. The event data includes at least the event time and event location.

[0021] Specifically, this step utilizes the platform's built-in event database to perform fuzzy or exact matching on the event name entered by the user, automatically retrieving the official event information corresponding to that name. Because the event data is maintained centrally by the platform, the accuracy and consistency of key information such as event time and location are ensured, eliminating problems such as spelling errors, inconsistent date formats, or missing information that may occur when users manually enter data. This also significantly reduces the time users spend collecting and filling out information, improving the efficiency of creating participation plans.

[0022] Step 3: Fill the event data into the event plan creation interface, receive the confirmation instruction submitted by the user, and generate an event plan entry.

[0023] Specifically, this step automatically populates the retrieved event data into the corresponding fields of the creation form. Users only need to verify the information and submit confirmation to complete the plan creation. If the system fails to match completely or the user needs to add other personalized information, manual modifications can be made based on the filled data. This leverages the convenience of automatic filling while retaining the flexibility of user self-adjustment, ensuring that the generated competition plan entries accurately reflect the user's true participation intentions.

[0024] Step 4: Integrate the competition plan items into the competition plan list in chronological order, and display the countdown days for each competition plan item in the competition plan list.

[0025] Specifically, this step arranges all created competition plans in chronological order of event dates, creating a clear timeline view that allows users to easily grasp the overall planning progress for the year or multiple events. Simultaneously, the system calculates and displays the number of days remaining until the start of each event in real time, providing users with intuitive reminders to help them allocate training and preparation time effectively and avoid missing important events due to forgetfulness or time conflicts.

[0026] As a preferred implementation, the user-triggered event plan creation request is generated by clicking the "Add Event Plan" button on the event plan page. By providing users with a clear visual entry point, the user can quickly locate and initiate the event plan creation process, reducing the learning curve and facilitating the system's accurate recognition of the user's intent, thus avoiding accidental touches or invalid operations and improving the intuitiveness of human-computer interaction and the convenience of operation.

[0027] As a preferred implementation, the automatic retrieval and matching of corresponding event data includes two scenarios: if a unique event matching the event name is found, the event data of that unique event is directly obtained; if multiple candidate events matching the event name are found, a candidate event list is generated for the user to choose from, and the event data of the corresponding event is obtained according to the user's selection. This invention fully considers the possibility of ambiguous user input or events with the same name in practical applications. By using intelligent matching and candidate lists, it ensures the efficiency of automatic filling and gives the user the right to choose when the matching results are not unique, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the system forcibly matching incorrect events, and improving the accuracy of matching and the user-friendliness of the user experience.

[0028] As a preferred implementation method, the event data also includes event type. By adding this dimension of information, the system can provide users with richer event details, such as distinguishing between different categories like trail running, marathon, and cycling races. This helps users select and plan their participation events based on their preferences and training goals. It also lays the data foundation for subsequent data statistics, categorized display, or personalized recommendations, enhancing the refinement and practicality of event planning management.

[0029] As a preferred implementation, the user is allowed to modify and supplement the automatically populated event data before receiving confirmation from the user. This invention grants the user the final right to review and edit the automatically populated results, leveraging the efficiency of auto-completion while respecting the user's personalized needs. For example, the user may need to adjust event notes, add transportation and accommodation information, or correct details that the system has not accurately matched, thus ensuring that the generated race plan entries fully match the user's actual situation and avoiding plan deviations caused by inaccurate auto-completion.

[0030] In a preferred implementation, after step four, the system further includes modifying the information of any entry in the competition plan list in response to a user's edit operation; or removing the entry from the competition plan list in response to a user's delete operation. This function provides users with dynamic management capabilities for their created plans. When a user's participation intention changes or they are unable to participate for any reason, they can flexibly update or cancel their plans, ensuring that the competition plan list remains up-to-date and accurate. This avoids the interference of expired or invalid plans with user decisions and improves the system's practicality and flexibility.

[0031] As a preferred implementation, the competition schedule list is displayed using a timeline view organized by year. By organizing the competition schedule by year, users can clearly see the competition layout for each year, facilitating long-term planning and time coordination across years, such as avoiding too many or conflicting competitions within the same year. The timeline view itself provides an intuitive sense of the flow of time, and combined with the countdown display, users can quickly grasp the urgency of each competition, thereby rationally scheduling training cycles and preparation work, significantly improving the visualization level and overall control of planning and management.

[0032] As a preferred implementation, when the list of competition plans is empty, an empty state guidance prompt is displayed to guide users in adding competition plans. Proactively providing clear guidance before users have created any competition plans shows them how to get started using the system's core functions, lowering the learning curve for new users, avoiding confusion when faced with a blank page, and helping to increase user activation rates and continued usage willingness, reflecting a good user experience design philosophy.

[0033] As a preferred implementation, the event registration data completed by the user at the registration portal is automatically synchronized to the participation plan list, generating a corresponding participation plan entry. This function connects the two previously separate processes of event registration and participation plan management. After successful registration, users no longer need to create a plan repeatedly; the system automatically converts the registration information into a single participation plan entry, achieving a zero-operation connection from registration to planning. This not only reduces the number of steps required from the user but also ensures the consistency between registration and plan data, avoiding information redundancy or conflicts caused by manual entry. It truly achieves integrated management of the entire event lifecycle, greatly improving user efficiency and experience.

[0034] This invention also provides an intelligent participation plan management system for outdoor events, comprising: The input module is used to respond to a user-triggered event plan creation request and obtain the event name entered by the user.

[0035] The matching module is used to automatically retrieve and match corresponding event data in a preset event database based on the event name. The event data includes at least the event time and event location.

[0036] The generation module is used to populate the event data into the event plan creation interface, receive the confirmation instruction submitted by the user, and generate an event plan entry.

[0037] The display module is used to integrate the competition plan entries into the competition plan list in chronological order, and to display the countdown days for each competition plan entry in the competition plan list.

[0038] In summary, this invention achieves intelligent data filling by establishing an automatic association and matching mechanism between user-inputted event names and a pre-set event database. This fundamentally solves the problems of tedious manual data entry and error-prone information caused by the lack of automatic data association in existing outdoor event platforms. Simultaneously, through a timeline view and countdown display, it integrates scattered event registration information into a unified long-term planning and management portal, forming an integrated closed-loop experience from registration to planning to progress tracking, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of users' event planning.
