Dynamic Selection Option Display for User Desire Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for extracting user desires often fail to fully capture users' visions and concepts, leading to only partial satisfaction of user needs, as they are swayed by existing products and services, requiring time-consuming and costly consulting to accurately understand user desires.
Innovation Solution
A selection option information presentation system that displays multiple selection options on a first display device, with the system modifying the display positions of these options over time to create visually distinct combinations, encouraging users to notice and consider various options, and allowing users to select and arrange these options on a second display device to represent their desires.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If selection options are displayed in fixed positions on the display device, then the display layout is simple and stable, but users may fail to notice all available options, reducing the comprehensiveness of user desire extraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display positions of selection options changeable over time. The control device modifies display positions of at least some selection options at specific timings, transforming the static display into a dynamic one that actively draws user attention to different options sequentially, thereby improving user noticeability without requiring complex user interaction mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic action through the time-based modification of display positions. The control device is configured to modify display positions at specific timings during the period when no selection operation is detected, creating a periodic pattern of position changes that systematically presents different combinations of selection options to users over time, ensuring comprehensive exposure of all options.
2Measurement precision
If consulting is conducted to accurately understand user desires including visions and concepts, then user desires can be fully extracted, but time and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling users to autonomously express their desires through the selection option display system. Users interact with the display device to select options that represent their visions and concepts without requiring external consultants. The system automatically processes user selections and generates desire information, allowing users to perform the extraction task themselves efficiently and accurately.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical consulting process with an automated information processing system. Instead of human consultants analyzing user statements through interviews or surveys, the control device automatically analyzes user selections from the display, processes the data, and extracts desire information using computational methods, thereby eliminating time-consuming and costly human consulting while maintaining or improving accuracy.
3Loss of information
If multiple selection options are presented to users, then user desires can be comprehensively captured, but users may overlook some options, reducing the effectiveness of desire extraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dynamics to present multiple selection options by changing their display positions over time. Instead of showing all options simultaneously in a static layout where users might overlook some, the system dynamically repositions options at specific timings, ensuring that users' attention is drawn to different combinations of options sequentially, thereby improving the likelihood that users will notice and consider all available options.
4Ease of operation
If selection options are displayed in static combinations, then the display is simple, but users cannot be encouraged to notice various combinations of options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by systematically modifying display positions of selection options at specific timings. This creates a structured pattern where different combinations of options are presented to users in sequence, encouraging users to notice various combinations without requiring complex user interaction. The periodic modification ensures that all options and their combinations are systematically exposed to users over time.

AI summary
A selection option information presentation system includes a processor that executes a procedure. The procedure includes: displaying plural items of selection option information on a first display device in states in which a selection operation can be received, and, at a specific timing in a duration in which no selection operation is detected, modifying and displaying a display position of at least one or more items of selection option information set as a display target such that a combination of adjacent items of selection option information within a display region forms a combination in which a display position differs in an up-down direction or a left-right direction, or both; and, when a selection operation of any of the plural items of selection option information displayed on the first display device has been received, displaying the selection option information that received the selection operation on a second display device.
