Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in determining the details of events associated with information received by electronic devices, such as transaction locations, due to limited information provided.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that correlates location information with received information, determining additional details related to agencies involved in the event, and outputs this information to the user upon request, using modules for location acquisition, correlation, and data updating within the electronic device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If location information is correlated with received information to enhance event details, then user understanding of transactions is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent details informationVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically acquiring location information at the moment the notification is received, and pre-correlating it with the notification content and agency information. This preliminary processing ensures that when users review notifications, complete event details are already available without requiring users to manually gather location data or interact with multiple systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that acts as a bridge between the notification system and location services. The electronic device serves as an intermediary that receives notifications, automatically obtains location data, identifies relevant agencies, and integrates all this information into a unified event context. This intermediary approach simplifies the user experience while managing the complexity of coordinating multiple data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If additional agency information is determined and correlated with notification data, then information completeness is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagency information completenessVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of agencies based on the notification content and correlates them with location information in advance. By pre-processing and pre-correlating agency information with notification data, the system ensures that when users review notifications, complete agency details are already available without requiring real-time processing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If location information is integrated with notification data, then event context understanding is improved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent context informationVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data elements (notification content, location information, agency information, and event context) into a unified data structure. By combining these previously separate information streams into a single integrated event record, the system provides complete event context while managing data complexity through unified storage and retrieval mechanisms rather than separate management of each data type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
