Boat Point Calculation Using Vibration Sensor Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional point granting methods for passengers on vehicles like boats do not account for the severity of shaking caused by waves or wind, leading to passenger dissatisfaction, as they do not differentiate points based on actual shaking experiences.
Innovation Solution
A point calculation device and method that determines vehicle shaking using weather information and vibration sensor data, calculating points based on the duration, frequency, and magnitude of shaking, as well as other factors like passenger room grade and crowdedness, to provide personalized point rewards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional point granting methods are used that only consider embarkation section, then point calculation is simple, but passenger satisfaction deteriorates due to ignoring actual shaking experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters used for point calculation from simple embarkation section data to include multiple dimensions: shaking intensity (from vibration sensors), shaking duration, weather conditions, and passenger room type. This multi-parameter approach resolves the contradiction by making point calculation more comprehensive and satisfying for passengers while maintaining systematic manageability through automated sensor data collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces vibration sensors mounted on the boat as an intermediary device to objectively measure shaking conditions. These sensors act as mediators between the physical shaking experience and the point calculation system, providing accurate data that reflects actual passenger experience without requiring manual input or complex subjective assessments.
2Reliability
If vibration sensors and multiple calculation parameters are introduced, then passenger satisfaction improves through accurate shaking-based points, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the point calculation system multi-functional by integrating it with existing boat operation systems, weather information systems, and sensor networks. The same infrastructure used for boat monitoring and navigation is leveraged to collect shaking data, eliminating the need for separate dedicated systems and reducing overall complexity despite the enhanced functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically collecting shaking data from vibration sensors, correlating it with weather information, and calculating points without manual intervention. The automated processing of sensor data and integration with existing boat management systems reduces the operational burden and complexity of managing the enhanced point calculation system.
3Measurement precision
If points are calculated based on multiple factors including shaking, weather, and passenger room, then point accuracy improves, but calculation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and pre-processing vibration sensor data, weather information, and boat operation data during the voyage. This pre-collection and pre-processing of multi-factor data during the actual travel time eliminates the need for time-consuming manual data gathering and calculation after the fact, maintaining high accuracy while minimizing additional calculation time.
