Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing betting methods in races like horse racing, bicycle racing, and motorboat racing are complex, making it difficult for novice users to participate, leading to them being deterred from betting.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that allows users to easily make bets by accepting designations of betting targets and types from tipsters, transmitting video data with tip information, and processing user selections for betting, enabling users to bet based on tipster recommendations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional betting methods are used with multiple betting patterns and selections, then betting functionality is comprehensive, but user accessibility for novices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces tipsters as intermediaries between the racing system and novice users. Tipsters provide pre-analyzed betting recommendations that simplify the complex betting process for novices while maintaining comprehensive betting functionality through multiple betting patterns and selections.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis and betting target selection through tipsters before users place bets. This preliminary action reduces the complexity users would otherwise face by pre-processing the information and presenting simplified betting options.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive betting patterns and multiple racer selections are required, then betting coverage is complete, but process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex analysis and decision-making functions from the user and assigns them to tipsters. Users only need to select from pre-analyzed betting recommendations, which maintains comprehensive betting coverage while significantly reducing the perceived complexity for end users.
Solution Approach 2:
The betting system is segmented into distinct functional roles: tipsters who perform complex analysis and selection, and users who make simplified selections. This segmentation allows comprehensive betting functionality to be maintained while reducing the complexity burden on individual users.
3Loss of information
If detailed betting information and multiple options are presented, then information completeness is high, but information processing difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
Tipsters perform preliminary information processing and analysis, filtering and organizing complex racing data into actionable betting recommendations. This preliminary action maintains information completeness while reducing the processing difficulty for users who would otherwise need to analyze raw data themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
Tipsters act as intermediaries who process and interpret complex betting information, transforming raw racing data into simplified recommendations. This intermediary layer preserves information completeness while significantly reducing the cognitive load and processing difficulty for end users.
