Solution Overview

Problem

In construction sites where various workers with different knowledge and backgrounds collaborate, efficiently communicating worker information while protecting privacy is challenging.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that derives organizational distance and work relevance between workers based on their profiles and work plans, generating and outputting tailored information to be presented to each worker using wearable devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If worker information is communicated openly to all workers, then communication efficiency is improved, but privacy protection deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidprivacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different information to different workers based on their organizational distance and work relevance. Instead of uniform information distribution, the system tailors the amount and type of worker information shared with each individual, ensuring that only relevant workers receive detailed information while maintaining privacy for others.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts information sharing parameters (organizational distance and work relevance) to control the level of privacy protection and communication efficiency. By changing these parameters, the system optimizes the balance between sharing worker information for communication purposes and protecting individual worker privacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If detailed worker profile information is shared, then work coordination is improved, but information security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework coordinationVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by selectively sharing different levels of profile information with different workers. The system evaluates work relevance and organizational distance to determine which specific profile attributes should be shared with each worker, providing just enough information for effective coordination while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by sharing only the necessary portion of worker profile information required for effective work coordination. Instead of sharing complete profiles, the system selectively discloses relevant attributes based on the specific work context and relationship between workers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If identity confirmation procedures are implemented, then privacy protection is improved, but operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by automatically calculating organizational distance and work relevance, and dynamically generating appropriate information-to-be-presented without requiring manual identity confirmation procedures. The system autonomously manages privacy protection by selecting and filtering profile information based on pre-established criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating organizational distance and work relevance metrics before information sharing occurs. This advance preparation enables automatic privacy protection without requiring complex real-time identity confirmation procedures during worker interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
