Dynamic Boarding Space Reservation for User-Convenient Transfers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional boarding spaces for taxis and buses are fixed and often located far from user-friendly positions, such as ticket gates at stations, leading to impaired user convenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires target area information, use schedule information, and space reservation information to determine a use mode based on user convenience, updating space reservation information accordingly and determining the need for additional transfer spaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If boarding spaces are fixedly located, then space management is simple, but user convenience is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic space reservation by allowing boarding spaces to be virtually relocated based on user schedules and real-time conditions. The system dynamically determines optimal boarding positions near user destinations or transfer points, rather than using fixed locations, thereby improving user convenience while managing complexity through automated information processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by continuously acquiring target area information, use schedule information, and space reservation information to adjust boarding space allocations. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to changing user needs and conditions, optimizing user convenience while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making.
2Ease of operation
If boarding space is located far from ticket gate, then space allocation is simple, but user accessibility is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selecting specific localized areas near ticket gates or user destinations as boarding spaces based on individual user schedules and needs. Rather than uniformly allocating space, the system identifies optimal local positions for each user or group, improving accessibility while managing space allocation through precise, location-specific reservations.
3Ease of operation
If boarding space is dynamically relocated, then user convenience is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically processing user schedules, target area information, and space reservations to determine optimal boarding spaces without requiring complex manual intervention. The automated information processing handles the complexity internally, presenting simple, convenient boarding location recommendations to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a multi-functional information processing system that handles multiple tasks simultaneously: acquiring user schedules, analyzing target area conditions, managing space reservations, and determining optimal boarding locations. This universal system consolidates complex functions into a single integrated platform, managing information processing complexity while delivering improved user convenience.

AI summary
An information processing device includes processing circuitry configured to; acquire target area information indicating a situation of a target area, use schedule information indicating a use schedule of a mobile body by a user in the target area, and space reservation information indicating a use reservation of a space in the target area; determine a use mode of the space for the mobile body depending on convenience of the user in the target area on a basis of the target area information and the use schedule information; and update the space reservation information on a basis of the determined use mode.
