Dynamic Crowd Guidance Across Distributed Target Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing crowd guidance methods often lead to immediate overcrowding at the designated destination, failing to appropriately guide crowds to less crowded areas.
Innovation Solution
A guidance processing apparatus that acquires guidance information from images of crowd states and controls multiple devices to set different states corresponding to the crowd information, enabling targeted guidance across various spaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single guidance destination is designated based on current crowd density, then people can be guided from crowded to uncrowded places, but the guidance destination immediately becomes crowded making further guidance ineffective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic guidance by continuously updating guidance destinations based on real-time crowd density changes. Instead of a static destination, the system recalculates and redesignates guidance targets as crowds move, ensuring the guidance destination remains an uncrowded location throughout the guidance process
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary crowd density predictions for multiple potential guidance destinations before designating the final target. By predicting future crowd states at candidate locations and selecting the destination with the lowest predicted density, the system proactively prevents overcrowding at the guidance destination
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple target devices are controlled simultaneously across different spaces, then comprehensive crowd guidance can be achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the guidance system into multiple independent target devices (display devices, speakers, etc.) distributed across different spaces. Each device operates independently under centralized coordination, allowing the system to manage large-scale crowd guidance by breaking down the complex control task into simpler individual device controls
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously acquires crowd density information from the guided space and feeds this back to the guidance processing apparatus. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts guidance information for multiple target devices, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to real-time crowd conditions
