Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer agent technologies struggle to consider non-schedule information, such as travel time and user priorities, when determining event times, leading to suboptimal scheduling outcomes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that includes a request transmitting portion, response receiving and analyzing portion, text output portion, request generating portion, and timing control portion, enabling the agent to incorporate user information and adjust request timing based on response analysis and user input, thereby improving scheduling decisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the agent automatically determines event time based on registered schedules, then the scheduling process is efficient and automated, but it cannot consider non-schedule information such as travel time and user priorities
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively notifying users of scheduled events in advance, allowing users to provide corrections or additional information before the event occurs. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining automated scheduling while creating opportunities to incorporate non-schedule information through timely user notifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where user responses to notifications are processed and used to adjust future scheduling. Users can correct schedule information or provide travel time details, and this feedback is incorporated into subsequent scheduling decisions, thereby integrating non-schedule information while preserving automation.
2Measurement precision
If the agent requests user input for schedule corrections, then scheduling accuracy is improved, but the user burden and interaction complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by requesting user input only when necessary - specifically when schedule conflicts are detected or when preliminary notifications are sent. It does not require continuous user interaction, thus improving scheduling accuracy while minimizing user burden by engaging users only when correction or confirmation is actually needed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the agent processes multiple user responses and generates new requests, then scheduling comprehensiveness is improved, but the processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing by notifying users in advance of scheduled events and potential conflicts, allowing users to provide responses ahead of time. This preliminary action enables the system to process multiple user responses without time pressure, improving scheduling flexibility while minimizing actual processing time during event coordination.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device including a request transmitting portion that transmits a request, a response receiving portion that receives a response corresponding to the request, a response analyzing portion that analyzes the response, a text output portion that outputs, to the user, text generated based on the response analysis result, a request generating portion that newly generates the request based on the response analysis result or text input by the user, and a timing control portion that controls a timing at which the request is newly generated based on a timing at which the generated text is output.
