Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for path selection in alimentary item delivery suffer from inaccuracy in providing a unified system for multiple users at a single locale, leading to inefficiencies in provisioning and environmental impact estimation.

Innovation Solution

A computing device system that receives orders, determines environmental impact estimates, and generates a physical transfer instruction set to optimize delivery paths and cluster instructions for multiple alimentary items, using machine-learning processes to rank and select efficient transfer paths and notify users through a graphical interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing path selection methods are used for alimentary item delivery, then individual user orders can be processed, but accuracy in providing a unified system for multiple users at a single locale deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of path selectionVSAvoidunified system capability for multiple users
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple individual orders into a unified cluster instruction set that consolidates delivery paths for multiple users at the same locale. The system merges separate delivery routes into a single optimized path that serves multiple destinations, thereby improving measurement precision for path selection while maintaining versatility for handling multiple users simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a multi-functional path selection mechanism that can handle both individual orders and clustered orders for multiple users. The unified instruction set serves multiple purposes: it optimizes delivery paths for individual users while simultaneously providing a consolidated solution for multiple users at the same location, thus enhancing adaptability without sacrificing accuracy.

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

2Ease of operation

If individual order processing is used, then user-specific delivery can be achieved, but efficiency in provisioning for multiple users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-specific delivery capabilityVSAvoidprovisioning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple individual delivery operations into a single unified delivery instruction set. By combining orders for multiple users at the same locale into one consolidated delivery task, the system maintains user-specific delivery capabilities while significantly improving provisioning efficiency through reduced redundant operations and optimized resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Measurement precision

If separate delivery paths are selected for each user, then individual delivery accuracy is maintained, but environmental impact increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery path accuracyVSAvoidenvironmental impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines multiple separate delivery paths into a single unified path that serves multiple users. This consolidation maintains accurate delivery to each individual user while reducing the total environmental impact by eliminating redundant travel segments and optimizing the overall delivery route to minimize carbon footprint and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
