Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile terminals cannot easily display statistics of user activity records for the same period as the calendar or schedule display period, limiting user ability to check their own activity records.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that displays each date of a predetermined period on a calendar with associated activity records, performs statistical processing on these records, and displays the processing results, allowing users to easily check their activity statistics by changing the display period and specifying arbitrary periods for analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional mobile terminals display calendar or schedule information, then users can view their daily plans, but users cannot easily check statistical information of their activity records for the same period

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactivity record statisticsVSAvoidaccessibility to activity statistics
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the calendar display function with activity record statistics display into a single integrated interface. The calendar screen simultaneously shows both the schedule information and statistical summaries of user activities (such as exercise duration, steps, calories) for the same time period, eliminating the need for separate views and making information accessible in one place.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The calendar display is transformed into a multi-functional interface that serves both as a schedule viewer and an activity statistics dashboard. By overlaying or integrating activity data with calendar events, the system provides multiple functions (scheduling and health tracking) within a single display context, improving ease of access to activity information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If users want to check detailed activity records for every date, then comprehensive information is available, but the display becomes cluttered and difficult to read

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactivity record detailsVSAvoiddisplay complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments activity information by organizing it according to calendar dates and time periods. Each date or time block on the calendar displays only the relevant activity statistics for that specific period, rather than showing all activities at once. This segmentation allows users to view comprehensive information in a structured, date-by-date manner that prevents display clutter while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes, a display; a memory that stores a program; and at least one processor that executes the program. The processor is configured to, display each date of a predetermined period on the display in association with information indicating a record of a user's activity on the date, and perform statistical processing on the record of the user's activity during the predetermined period, and display a processing result of the statistical processing on the display.
