Chat Interface for Car Sharing Trip Scheduling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle sharing services lack an effective user interface for efficiently grouping users and agreeing on schedules, making it difficult for multiple users to share a vehicle.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication circuit, touch screen display, and processor that provides a chat screen for users to agree on pick-up times and places, changes button colors based on user input, and determines pick-up times and places through analyzed text data, facilitating efficient scheduling and grouping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user interface is provided for grouping users and agreeing on schedules in vehicle sharing service, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The scheduling process is segmented into distinct phases: chat-based negotiation phase and confirmation phase. The interface separates user interactions into logical segments (chat messages, extracted keywords, confirmation buttons) to simplify the overall operation while maintaining functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary by automatically extracting time and place keywords from chat messages and presenting structured confirmation options to users. This intermediary function bridges the gap between free-form chat and structured scheduling agreement, improving ease of operation without requiring complex manual interface design.
2Productivity
If text data analysis is performed to extract time and place keywords from chat screen, then the productivity is improved, but the loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary extraction of time and place keywords from chat messages before finalizing the scheduling agreement. This preliminary action allows the system to prepare structured data for confirmation while retaining the original chat context, enabling efficient processing without permanent information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying extracted time and place keywords back to users for verification and confirmation. This feedback mechanism ensures that the analyzed information is accurate and complete, allowing users to correct any extraction errors before finalizing the schedule, thus preventing information loss.

AI summary
An electronic device may include a communication circuit, a touch screen display, and a processor configured to be electrically connected to the communication circuit and the touch screen display wherein the processor provides a chat screen for displaying a chat among a plurality of users including a user of the electronic device and a user of at least one external device using the communication circuit and the touch screen display, obtains a time keyword associated with a pick-up time and a place keyword associated with a pick-up place by analyzing text data displayed on the chat screen, and, when inputs of all of the plurality of users are provided to a confirmation button included in the chat screen, provides a question screen for inquiring whether the plurality of users agree on the pick-up time and the pick-up place.
