Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems for managing booths do not effectively improve the air environment based on the usage status of the booth, leading to potential over-cleaning or under-cleaning issues.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a processor to acquire reservation information and determine when to improve the air environment inside a booth using an improvement mechanism, which may include ultraviolet light emission and spraying of a liquid, based on the acquired reservation information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cleaning is performed on a fixed schedule, then the air environment is regularly improved, but the booth may be cleaned frequently even though not being used or not cleaned when needed

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveair environment improvement timingVSAvoidcleaning time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system acquires usage status information of the booth and uses this feedback to dynamically determine cleaning timing. The processor receives signals indicating whether the booth is currently being used and adjusts the cleaning schedule accordingly, ensuring cleaning is performed only when the booth is unused while maintaining reliable air environment improvement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning schedule transitions from a static fixed timetable to a dynamic schedule that adapts based on real-time usage status. The system continuously monitors booth usage and adjusts cleaning timing to match actual needs, optimizing both air environment improvement reliability and time efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If cleaning is performed inside a reservation period, then the air environment is improved during use, but cleaning may be performed while a user is inside the booth

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveair environment improvement timingVSAvoiduser safety during cleaning

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors the usage status of the booth and uses this feedback to determine safe cleaning timing. When the processor receives a signal that the booth is currently reserved and in use, it delays cleaning operations until the reservation period ends, ensuring user safety while maintaining air environment improvement reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system proactively checks the usage status before initiating cleaning operations and prevents cleaning from starting during reservation periods. This preliminary check avoids the harmful effect of cleaning while users are present, eliminating safety concerns before they can occur.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
