Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for collecting information related to advertisement activity are inefficient, particularly in dynamically adjusting the placement of advertisement units to maximize user interaction and data collection.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and system that includes a controller to acquire and analyze data on advertisement activity and user movement, instructing a vehicle unit to move to optimal locations based on this information, enhancing data collection efficiency by strategically repositioning advertisement units.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If advertisement units are fixed in position, then device complexity is reduced, but information collection efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation collection efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement unit is designed with movable capabilities, transitioning from a fixed position to a dynamic repositionable state. The controller receives information about user density and advertisement effectiveness, then dynamically adjusts the position of the advertisement unit to optimize information collection efficiency while managing system complexity through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If advertisement units are repositioned frequently, then information collection efficiency is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation collection efficiencyVSAvoidtime for movement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the controller continuously receives information about user density and advertisement effectiveness from various sources. Based on this feedback, the controller makes informed decisions about when and where to reposition advertisement units, optimizing the balance between information collection efficiency and movement time by only relocating when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If more advertisement units are deployed, then information collection efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation collection efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system design allows advertisement units to serve multiple functions: they can be positioned in high-traffic areas for maximum exposure, relocated to areas with specific user demographics based on collected data, and coordinated with other units through the controller. This multi-functionality enables the system to optimize information collection efficiency without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

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