Information Processing Apparatus for Concurrent Riding Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies do not effectively account for the impact of passengers on cargo when both are transported together, leading to potential degradation of odor-sensitive articles due to exposure to passengers with certain characteristics, such as smokers, making it difficult for manufacturers and users to take preventive measures.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires information about articles and passengers, determines if concurrent riding of affected individuals is occurring or will occur, and provides notifications to users to mitigate these effects by facilitating the transfer of sensitive articles to different vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If cargo and passengers are transported together in a mixed load vehicle, then vehicle utilization efficiency is improved, but articles may be degraded by passengers with certain characteristics (e.g., smokers)
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of concurrent riding between articles and users before transportation occurs. By acquiring information about articles to be loaded and characteristics of users, the system identifies potential harmful interactions in advance, allowing preventive measures to be taken before the article is exposed to harmful factors
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop by determining concurrent riding status and notifying relevant parties. When concurrent riding is detected, notifications are sent to users and/or article owners, enabling them to take corrective actions such as transferring articles to different vehicles or adjusting user assignments
2Device complexity
If information about concurrent riding is not provided to users, then system complexity is reduced, but users cannot take preventive measures for their articles
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to make informed decisions about their own articles by providing them with concurrent riding information. Users can independently determine whether to transfer their articles or adjust their transportation arrangements based on the notifications received, reducing the need for complex automated intervention mechanisms

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a controller that acquires information about an article to be loaded onto a vehicle, acquires a characteristic of a person who can affect the article based on the information, and executes a concurrent riding determination to determine existence of concurrent riding on the vehicle by the article and a user having the characteristic.
