Information Distribution System Contract-Based Content Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information distribution systems often cause erroneous recognition among viewers, leading to duplicate orders for consumable items like toner, as they inadvertently promote automatic delivery services to customers who have already subscribed to remote monitoring services.
Innovation Solution
An information distribution system that includes an electronic device and a server system, where the server acquires contract information and generates content based on the device's contract status, ensuring that only relevant information is displayed to the viewer, thereby reducing erroneous recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the information distribution system promotes automatic delivery services to all customers, then the service coverage is increased, but customers who have already subscribed to remote monitoring services may receive duplicate promotions causing erroneous recognition
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary checking of the customer's contract status before generating promotion information. The information distribution apparatus acquires contract information from the server system in advance, verifying whether the electronic device is already under a remote monitoring service contract, and only then decides whether to promote the automatic delivery service, thereby preventing duplicate promotions
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the information distribution apparatus continuously acquires updated contract information from the server system. This feedback loop ensures that the promotion information is always based on the latest contract status, allowing the system to adaptively adjust whether to promote the automatic delivery service based on real-time contract data
2Productivity
If the system distributes general information to all devices, then the distribution process is simplified, but the information relevance to individual viewers is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by customizing information distribution based on individual device characteristics. The information distribution apparatus acquires device-specific contract information and generates tailored promotion information that is locally optimized for each electronic device, ensuring that only relevant information is distributed to each viewer based on their specific contract status
3Reliability
If the system acquires and processes contract information for each device, then the information accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary server system that manages contract information centrally. The information distribution apparatus acts as a mediator between the server system and electronic devices, acquiring contract information from the server and processing it according to predetermined rules. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining high information accuracy through centralized data management

AI summary
An information distribution system includes an electronic device; and a server system including at least one information distribution apparatus that communicates with the electronic device via a network. The electronic device includes an information requester configured to transmit, to the server system, a request to distribute information, the request being transmitted together with identification information of the electronic device; and an information displayer configured to display, on a display device, the information transmitted from the server system. The server system includes a contract information acquirer configured to acquire contract information relating to a contract for a service provided to the electronic device; an information generator configured to identify the contract information of the electronic device based on the identification information, and generate the information according to the contract information; and an information distributor configured to distribute the information generated by the information generator, to the electronic device.
