Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems struggle to provide timely notifications about services to users, as the timing of service proposals often does not align with the user's individual circumstances, such as assets, lifestyle, and family structure.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that acquire personal and measurement data from users, classify them based on this data, and determine a suitable notification timing for service information based on the relationship between the classification and the service offered.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If service information is provided based on user age, then the service can be offered to users, but the timing does not match the user's individual circumstances
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter for determining service timing from a single demographic factor (age) to multiple parameters including personal data (assets, lifestyle, family structure) and measurement data (activity levels). This multi-parameter approach enables the system to adapt service timing to individual user circumstances, resolving the contradiction between providing services broadly and ensuring relevance to specific user situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates measurement data from sensors that continuously monitor user activity levels and compares this feedback against reference values associated with different user classifications. This feedback mechanism allows the system to dynamically determine optimal service timing based on real-time user state, improving both adaptability and reliability of service proposals.
2Ease of operation
If service proposals are made based on general demographics, then the system is simple to operate, but the service timing does not align with user-specific circumstances
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments user characteristics into different classifications based on combinations of personal data and measurement data. By dividing users into distinct categories with specific reference values, the system maintains operational simplicity through automated classification while achieving precise, individualized service timing. The segmentation allows complex personalization without requiring manual user input or configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically acquiring personal data, obtaining measurement data from sensors, determining user classifications, and selecting appropriate service timing without requiring user intervention. This automation maintains ease of operation while achieving high adaptability through the system's autonomous ability to process multiple data types and make intelligent timing decisions.
3Measurement precision
If the system collects multiple types of data (personal and measurement data), then the service timing can be precisely tailored, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs a universal data processing framework that handles multiple data types (personal data from various sources and measurement data from sensors) through a single classification mechanism. The reference value storage and comparison process serves multiple functions: it stores classification criteria, enables timing determination, and provides the basis for service recommendations. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity despite collecting diverse data types.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces classification data as an intermediary between raw data sources and service timing decisions. Personal data and measurement data are first processed into user classifications, which then serve as the basis for determining service timing. This intermediary layer simplifies the data processing architecture by providing a structured intermediate representation that bridges diverse input data with service delivery decisions.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition part that acquires personal data indicating an attribute of a user; a classification part that determines a classification of the user using the personal data; a determination part that determines a timing at which information about a service offered to the user is notified, the timing corresponding to a relationship between the classification and the service; and a notification part that provides the information about the service to the user at the timing.
