Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In bill splitting scenarios, payees face difficulties in efficiently notifying payers about the transaction targeted for splitting, as they need to attach photos or notes, making it cumbersome for payers to recognize the transaction.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that utilize a management unit to manage setting data for bill splitting, a generation unit to create instruction data for displaying transaction details, and an output unit to display screens on information terminal devices, enabling payers to easily identify transactions using two-dimensional codes and intuitive screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the payee notifies each payer using SNS or another type of communication by attaching a photo of the receipt or entering an explanatory note, then the transaction information can be conveyed to the payer, but the notification process becomes troublesome and complex for the payee
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates and transmits notification data to payers without requiring the payee to manually attach photos or write explanatory notes. The notification includes transaction details such as store name, date, and amount, which are automatically extracted and formatted by the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the payee and payers, automatically processing and transmitting transaction information. The payee simply initiates the notification, and the system handles the formatting and delivery, eliminating the need for manual intervention in attaching photos or writing notes.
2Loss of information
If the payee manually attaches photos or enters explanatory notes for each notification, then transaction details can be provided to payers, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-prepares notification data by automatically extracting transaction details such as store name, date, and amount from the transaction record before the payee needs to notify the payer. This eliminates the time required for manual photo attachment and note writing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates and sends notifications with complete transaction details without requiring the payee to spend time manually attaching photos or writing explanatory notes for each payer.
3Ease of operation
If simple remittance notification is used without transaction details, then the notification process is simple, but payers cannot easily recognize which transaction is targeted for bill splitting
Solution Approach 1:
The notification data is segmented into key transaction elements such as store name, date, and amount, which are automatically extracted and presented to the payer. This provides sufficient transaction identification without requiring complex manual descriptions.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a management unit configured to manage setting data relating to remittance for paying at least a part of a price associated with a settled transaction from a payer to a payee associated with the settled transaction. The apparatus further includes a generation unit configured to generate instruction data containing instructions to display a screen requesting remittance from the payer based on the setting data, and an output unit configured to output the instruction data generated by the generation unit. The screen requesting remittance displays information identifying the settled transaction associated with the setting data.
