Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information handling systems are unable to determine a destination point that is convenient for multiple individuals associated with an event, as they only consider location data from a single system to calculate routes, failing to optimize for group meetings or gatherings.

Innovation Solution

An information handling system equipped with location sensor circuitry and a processor that receives a unique session tag from a cloud server, uses dynamic location data from multiple systems to determine an optimum destination point based on event criteria such as travel time, distance, and arrival time, and provides this information to individuals associated with the event, allowing them to select a suitable location and receive alerts about the event's imminence and any delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If location data from a single system is used to calculate routes, then the system operation is simple, but the destination point cannot be optimized for multiple individuals

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoiddestination optimization for multiple individuals

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines location data from multiple information handling systems with event criteria to determine an optimal destination point that serves multiple individuals, merging previously separate data sources into a unified decision-making process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If location data from multiple systems is collected and processed, then the destination point can be optimized for multiple individuals, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedestination optimization for multiple individualsVSAvoiddata collection and processing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives location data from multiple systems and event criteria, then determines the optimal destination point by evaluating multiple factors including travel time, distance, and arrival time, mediating between complex data inputs and the final destination recommendation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of time

If real-time location data is continuously monitored and alerts are provided, then the information about event imminence and delays is timely, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvealert timing accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption for continuous monitoring

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic monitoring and alert generation based on event criteria and location data, providing notifications about event imminence and potential delays at appropriate intervals rather than through continuous monitoring, reducing energy consumption while maintaining timely information delivery

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An information handling system includes location sensor circuitry and a processor. The location sensor circuitry determines location data for the information handling system. The processor receives a unique session tag from a cloud server. The unique session tag is utilized to identify individuals associated with an event. The processor also provides the location data for the information handling system and the unique session tag to the cloud server. The processor receives one or more proposed destination points for the event from the cloud server. The processor receives a selection of one of the proposed destination points, and provides the selected destination point to the individuals associated with the event.
