Crowded-Area Content Distribution for Relieving User Discomfort
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to address negative emotions experienced by users in crowded spaces where they are forced to wait, such as long lines or packed trains, by providing suitable content to alleviate these unpleasant circumstances.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that utilizes user terminals, sensors, and a server to detect crowded areas and distribute special content, such as AR images or music, to users experiencing negative emotions, enhancing their experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content is distributed according to user circumstances (such as being with family or friends), then positive feelings are fostered, but negative emotions in crowded spaces are not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of only distributing content to foster positive feelings as in prior art, this invention inverts the approach by specifically targeting and addressing negative emotions in crowded spaces. The system detects crowded areas and distributes content designed to alleviate discomfort, transforming the conventional positive-only approach into a dual approach that actively counteracts negative experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention converts the harmful effect of crowded spaces causing negative emotions into a beneficial outcome by distributing special content. The system detects when users are in crowded areas experiencing negative feelings and provides content that transforms this unpleasant situation into an enjoyable experience, effectively converting harm into benefit.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If special content is distributed to users in crowded areas, then negative emotions are relieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces an intermediary component - a server - that mediates between the complex tasks of detecting crowded areas and distributing appropriate content. The server acts as a central coordinator that receives data from multiple sources, processes it, and manages content distribution, thereby reducing the complexity burden on individual user terminals and making the overall system more manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where user terminals automatically detect their own location, determine if they are in crowded areas, and receive appropriate content without manual intervention. The server automatically processes location data and distributes content based on pre-established criteria, reducing the need for complex user-side processing and decision-making logic.

AI summary
To provide an information processing system, an information processing device, an information processing method, and a recording medium capable of distributing special content for relieving a user's negative circumstances. According to the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing system including: a communication unit configured to receive at least current position information regarding a user; and a control unit configured to cause the communication unit, if the control unit determines that a predetermined area containing a position indicated by the current position information is an area that makes people staying in the predetermined area feel unpleasant, to distribute specific content to the user.
