Smart Notification System for Departure Time Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for controlling electrical home appliances via networks do not effectively notify users of precise departure time adjustments based on their daily behavior patterns, particularly in relation to traffic information.
Innovation Solution
An information notification method and system that acquires and manages user behavior information, including departure and arrival times, to determine if the current departure time needs to be advanced, and notifies the user through a suitable apparatus, ensuring timely adjustments without unnecessary notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the system notifies users of departure time adjustments based on traffic information, then punctuality is improved, but unnecessary notifications increase user bother
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of notification triggering from simple traffic condition changes to comparisons with learned typical behavior patterns. By adjusting the threshold parameter for what constitutes a 'significant' deviation from typical behavior, the system provides precise notifications only when necessary, improving punctuality while reducing unnecessary user bother.
Solution Approach 2:
The system learns the user's typical behavior patterns automatically without requiring manual input or configuration. By self-learning departure times, destinations, and typical routes, the system can autonomously determine when notifications are necessary, providing accurate punctuality guidance while filtering out unnecessary alerts that would bother the user.
2Measurement precision
If the system learns and manages detailed behavior information, then notification precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The behavior information manager automatically learns and updates user behavior patterns without requiring manual configuration or complex user input. The system self-manages the complexity of tracking departure times, destinations, and routes by autonomously processing this information, thereby achieving high notification precision while keeping the user-facing system simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary learning and analysis of behavior patterns in advance, building a database of typical user behaviors before notifications are needed. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly compare current situations against established patterns, achieving high precision notifications without adding complexity to the real-time notification process.

AI summary
An information notification method in an information notification system, including: an acquiring step for acquiring today's required time which is required for traveling from a departure point to a destination included in behavior information; a determining step for determining today's departure time using the acquired today's required time and an arrival time included in the behavior information; a judging step for judging whether or not the determined today's departure time is earlier than a typical departure time included in the behavior information; a notifying step for notifying a notifying apparatus owned by the user of notification information for adjusting the behavior of the user, when judgment is made that the determined today's departure time is earlier than the typical departure time; and an output step for causing the notifying apparatus to output the notified notification information.
