Solution Overview

Problem

In existing systems for obtaining information about service users, the process of registering personal information requires significant time and labor from the service user, leading to a lack of specified contact details and difficulties in delivering information to the user.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes first and second obtaining means to collect biometric information from terminals managed by the service provider and the service user, respectively, and corresponding registering means to generate registration information and associate it with contact details, facilitating efficient registration and information delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the service user manually registers personal information including contact details, then the service provider can specify and deliver information to the service user, but the procedure requires significant time and labor from the service user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact detail specificationVSAvoidregistration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically extracts contact detail information from the service user's terminal device without requiring manual input. The terminal device itself provides the contact information through its own identification mechanisms, making the registration process self-service oriented and eliminating the need for the user to actively fill out registration forms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual information entry with automated information extraction using biometric recognition and terminal device identification. Instead of the user physically typing or selecting contact details, the system automatically obtains this information through electronic means, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated electronic processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If the service user manually registers personal information, then complete contact details can be obtained, but the procedure requires significant labor from the service user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact detail accuracyVSAvoidregistration ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device automatically provides its own identification information to the system without requiring the user to manually enter or select contact details. This self-service approach ensures accurate contact information is obtained while eliminating the laborious manual registration process for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system copies contact detail information directly from the terminal device's stored data rather than requiring the user to re-enter it. This copying mechanism ensures accuracy of contact information while significantly reducing the operational burden on the user, as the information is automatically transferred from the terminal's existing records.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If biometric information is automatically obtained and matched, then contact details can be specified with reduced user effort, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the terminal device's existing biometric recognition capabilities (which the user already possesses and uses for other purposes) to also perform contact detail registration. This multi-functional approach allows the terminal device to serve both its original purpose and the registration function, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high registration efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device already contains biometric information and contact detail information stored in advance before the registration process begins. The system performs preliminary matching by comparing the biometric data already present in the terminal with registered biometric data in the system, eliminating the need for complex real-time data collection and processing during the actual registration interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Attained is an object of making it possible to specify a contact detail of a service user and deliver information while reducing time and labor of the service user. To attain the object, an information processing system (1) includes: a first obtaining section (11) which obtains first biometric information from a first terminal which is managed by a service provider; a first registering section (12) which generates first registration information in association with the first biometric information; a second obtaining section (13) which obtains second biometric information from a second terminal which is managed by a service user; and a second registering section (14) which generates second registration information in association with the first registration information and contact detail information which is associated with the second terminal, in a case where the first biometric information and the second biometric information successfully match.
