Solution Overview

Problem

Existing call taxi service systems require users and taxi drivers to install separate programs or applications, lacking integration with taxi company networks, which leads to credibility issues, inefficient route selection, and potential safety concerns, especially for vulnerable users.

Innovation Solution

A call taxi service system that integrates with existing taxi company networks, allowing users to request taxis through a mobile communication terminal, utilizing a call taxi relay server to dispatch taxis, providing guaranteed credibility, optimized route selection, and real-time tracking, while enabling users to select trusted taxi companies and drivers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a call taxi relay server is directly connected to mobile communication terminal and taxi terminal, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a call taxi relay server as an intermediary component that mediates between the mobile communication terminal and the taxi terminal. This relay server simplifies the direct connection requirements by providing a centralized coordination point, thereby improving ease of operation while managing system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If existing call taxi control servers are integrated, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple existing call taxi control servers into an integrated network system. By combining the functionalities of separate servers into a unified platform, the system achieves improved productivity through coordinated dispatching and resource allocation, while managing complexity through standardized protocols and modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated call taxi service network is designed to perform multiple functions including dispatching, tracking, billing, and safety monitoring through a single unified system. This multi-functionality improves productivity by eliminating the need for separate systems while the universal architecture manages complexity through reusable components and standard interfaces.

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

3Reliability

If user credibility is guaranteed through network integration, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the call taxi relay server continuously monitors and verifies user information, taxi driver credentials, and service completion status. This feedback loop ensures reliability by confirming the authenticity of participants in the taxi service, while the automated verification processes manage the complexity of credibility checking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Loss of time

If route optimization is provided by the system, then loss of time is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloss of timeVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary route optimization calculations before the taxi journey begins. The call taxi relay server computes the optimal route from departure point to destination in advance, allowing the taxi driver to follow a pre-determined efficient path, thereby reducing time loss during the actual journey while managing computational complexity through offline processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
