Article Usage Information Filtering to Avoid Repeated Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience discomfort when repeatedly provided with past usage information for delivered articles.
Innovation Solution
An article management system that associates and stores identification information with usage information, excluding previously output information to prevent its repetition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If usage information is provided to the user every time an article is delivered, then the user receives complete information, but the user experiences discomfort when receiving repeated past information
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by storing the delivery history and previously provided usage information in advance. Before providing usage information again, the system checks the stored history to identify what has already been provided, thereby preventing the harmful effect of repeating past information while ensuring complete information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring and recording which usage information has been previously provided to the user through delivery history storage. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adjust its information provision by excluding already-delivered content, thus avoiding user discomfort while maintaining information completeness.
2Loss of information
If all usage information is provided to the user, then the user has access to complete information, but the information becomes less relevant and timely
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies the extraction principle by selectively removing previously provided usage information from the set of all available usage information. By extracting only the new, relevant information that has not been previously delivered, the system maintains information completeness while ensuring timeliness and relevance for the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing the complete set of usage information and delivery history. This allows the system to efficiently determine what information is new and relevant at the moment of delivery, thereby maintaining both completeness and timeliness without delaying information provision.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the system checks delivery history to exclude past information, then user discomfort is reduced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies the copying principle by creating a simplified digital copy of the delivery history and usage information status in storage. This copy allows the system to efficiently check what information has been previously provided without requiring complex real-time analysis, thereby reducing user discomfort while keeping system complexity manageable through straightforward data replication and comparison.

AI summary
Provided is an article management system using a computer that associates and stores identification information for identifying an article to be delivered to a user and one or more pieces of usage information regarding use of the article attached by a sender of the article, and that reads the identification information attached to the article, extracts at least one piece of usage information from the one or more pieces of usage information associated with the identification information, and outputs the extracted piece of usage information to the user. When usage information to be output to the user is extracted, output usage information output to the user in the past is excluded from the one or more pieces of usage information.
