Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for informing trip preparations are limited and time-consuming, leading to reduced user satisfaction and efficiency when planning a trip based on digital content from other users.

Innovation Solution

A client device with a content control module that collects and analyzes digital content from various sources to generate personalized recommendations for goods and services at a destination, incorporating image recognition and monitoring systems to adapt to changing conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users manually research and prepare for trips using digital content from other users, then they can gather information about destinations, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrip preparation informationVSAvoidtrip planning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes digital content from social media platforms and generates personalized trip recommendations without requiring manual user research. The content control module autonomously processes images, videos, and text to extract destination information, local products, and services, then presents curated recommendations to users, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual information gathering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical research processes with automated digital content analysis. Image recognition algorithms, natural language processing, and machine learning models automatically extract and analyze information from digital content, substituting the manual effort of users scrolling through and evaluating individual posts with automated computational analysis of large datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If users view photographs of locations taken by other individuals, then they can get visual inspiration, but they fail to obtain comprehensive trip preparation ideas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrip preparation informationVSAvoiduser satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The content control module performs multiple functions simultaneously: it analyzes visual content for destination identification, extracts product and service information from images and text, determines local relevance based on geographic location, and generates personalized recommendations. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate manual research tasks into a single automated process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and analyzes digital content from multiple sources before users need trip information. By continuously monitoring and analyzing social media content, the system builds a database of destination information, local products, and services in advance, so when users query for trip recommendations, the analysis and curation work is already completed, delivering immediate comprehensive results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the system generates personalized recommendations based on itinerary and digital content analysis, then user satisfaction and efficiency improve, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrip preparation efficiencyVSAvoidcontent control module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The content control module is divided into specialized sub-modules: image recognition module for visual content analysis, natural language processing module for text analysis, geographic information module for location-based filtering, and recommendation generation module for compiling results. Each module handles specific tasks, allowing parallel processing and reducing the complexity burden on any single component while maintaining high overall productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Techniques for personalized product recommendations based on an itinerary are described and are implementable to generate a recommendation for a good and/or service based on product data associated with a destination. The described implementations, for instance, enable generation of a recommendation for a user to acquire the good and/or service prior to visiting the destination based on digital content associated with the destination. The described implementations further enable generation of synthetic digital content that depicts the user at the destination with the good and/or service. Additionally, the techniques described herein include a monitoring system that is operable to detect a development related to the destination, and generate an updated recommendation based on the development.
