Solution Overview

Problem

Location-based services are limited in utilizing user activity data beyond current location, failing to provide comprehensive services that stimulate and reward user activities such as exercise and movement patterns.

Innovation Solution

A service method and system that measures and records user activities, including moving paths and exercise amounts, to determine user rankings and provide digital content as rewards, using a computer system with a processor to receive location information, calculate activity amounts, and provide digital content based on these metrics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If location-based services use only current location information, then the service system is simple to operate, but user activity data cannot be comprehensively utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveutilization of user activity dataVSAvoidservice system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service system segments user activity data into multiple dimensions including moving path, exercise amount, and location information. By dividing the comprehensive activity data into separate measurable components, the system can process and utilize each type of data independently while maintaining overall system manageability and avoiding excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The service system is designed to handle multiple types of user activity data (location, moving path, exercise amount) through a unified processing framework. This multi-functional approach allows the same system infrastructure to serve diverse purposes - navigation, fitness tracking, and activity analysis - thereby comprehensively utilizing user activity data without requiring separate specialized systems for each function

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

2Productivity

If the service system measures and records comprehensive user activities, then user engagement is enhanced, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device performs preliminary processing of user activity data by measuring and recording moving path, exercise amount, and location information locally before transmitting to the server. This preliminary action reduces the data processing burden on the server and enables faster user engagement through immediate local feedback while maintaining comprehensive data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device acts as an intermediary between the user and the service server, performing initial data collection, measurement, and filtering. This intermediary role simplifies the server's processing tasks by pre-processing data and only transmitting essential information, thereby enhancing user engagement through responsive local processing while reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed are a system and a service method and system a service based on an activity of a user. A service method may include receiving location information of a terminal when a mode of the terminal is an exercise mode, measuring a moving path of the terminal and an exercise amount of a user based on the location information, calculating an activity amount of the user based on the moving path and the exercise amount, and providing a digital content to the terminal based on the activity amount of the user.
