Solution Overview

Problem

It becomes increasingly difficult to identify users who have placed bets together as the number of bets performed increases, making it challenging to recognize shared betting activities among group members.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that displays a graphical user interface (GUI) with customizable display regions for races bet by other users, allowing easy recognition of shared betting activities based on stored user information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the number of bets performed increases, then the betting activity data becomes more comprehensive, but the difficulty of identifying users who placed bets together increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of betsVSAvoiddifficulty of identifying co-betting users
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the betting information by creating separate display regions for different bets, with each region showing which users participated in that specific bet. This segmentation allows users to easily identify co-betting partners without being overwhelmed by the total number of bets, as the information is divided into manageable, bet-specific units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension to the display by showing user participation information alongside bet information in a structured layout. This dimensional addition allows the system to present both the comprehensive betting data and the co-betting user identification simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between data completeness and identifiability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If more betting information is displayed, then the information completeness improves, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct display regions, each dedicated to showing information about a specific bet including user participation. This segmentation allows comprehensive information to be presented in an organized, non-overlapping manner that reduces perceived complexity while maintaining completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the interface have different functions: some regions display bet details, others display user lists, and others display navigation controls. This local quality assignment allows each region to be optimized for its specific purpose, reducing overall interface complexity while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An information processing device includes: a processor; and a storage, in which the storage stores information about one or more races bet by a first user and information about one or more races bet by a second user, the processor causes a terminal apparatus of the first user to display a first screen, the first screen displaying a list of the one or more races bet by the first user and including one or more display regions that respectively display one or more races bet by the first user, and controls at least one of a display form and a display position of the one or more display regions based on whether the one or more races bet by the first user are bet by the second user in the information stored in the storage.
