Emission Data Segmentation for Production Site Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems provide information on greenhouse gas emissions for products but do not visualize the factors contributing to reduced emissions, making it difficult for users to identify the causes of lower emissions and requiring significant time and effort to determine the contributing factors.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that receives product search requests, extracts product information including emission data associated with production sites, and returns this information to user terminals, allowing users to compare emission amounts and identify factors contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional systems provide emission information for products, then users can access greenhouse gas emission data, but users cannot easily identify the factors contributing to reduced emissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments emission information into distinct components: total emission amount and breakdown by production site. Each production site's contribution is separately displayed with its specific emission amount, allowing users to identify which sites contribute most to emissions and which contribute to reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to emission information display by organizing data geographically across multiple production sites. Instead of showing only aggregate emission numbers, the system displays emission amounts distributed across different locations, enabling users to visualize spatial factors contributing to emission reduction.
2Measurement precision
If users manually analyze emission data to identify reduction factors, then comprehensive understanding can be achieved, but significant time and effort are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis by pre-calculating and organizing emission data across all production sites before user interaction. The breakdown information is prepared in advance, so when users access the data, the analytical work has already been completed, eliminating the need for manual analysis time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates and presents the emission factor breakdown without requiring user intervention for analysis. The data structure itself provides the answers users need, allowing them to understand emission reduction causes simply by viewing the organized information rather than performing analytical tasks.
3Loss of information
If detailed emission data for each production site is provided, then users can identify reduction factors, but data complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments complex emission data into manageable units organized by production site. Each site's emission amount is separately identified and displayed, transforming a complex aggregate number into simple, comparable components that reduce perceived complexity while maintaining full information transparency.

AI summary
An information processing device according to an aspect of the present disclosure receives a request for a product search from a user terminal, and extracts product information of a product corresponding to the received request from a product database. The product information includes emission information indicating an emission amount of a greenhouse gas of the product in association with a production site of the product. Then, the information processing device returns the extracted product information to the user terminal so that the emission information can be output in association with the production site.
