Solution Overview

Problem

Existing social networking and ticketing systems lack efficient features for group event coordination, communication, and ticket management, failing to seamlessly connect users attending the same events and provide effective cost division and user behavior analytics.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for coordinating event communication and ticketing that utilizes a server with an internet messaging platform to manage user profiles, establish group connections, receive price ranges, and reserve or purchase tickets, incorporating artificial intelligence for smart matching and event recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If social networking systems provide basic communication features between event participants, then communication capability is improved, but the system cannot efficiently identify and connect accounts that have a likelihood of attending the event together

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection accuracyVSAvoidgroup matching capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses machine learning models that analyze user behavior patterns, event attendance history, and social graph data to predict and identify groups of users likely to attend events together. This feedback mechanism continuously improves matching accuracy by learning from actual attendance data and user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms basic communication functionality into intelligent group coordination by introducing multiple parameters including user preferences, event types, time constraints, and social connection strength. These parameter changes enable the system to adaptively match users for group events based on multiple criteria rather than simple communication capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If ticketing systems hold reserved seats for a set time period, then ticket availability is improved, but there is no efficient method for coordinating events between group participants

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveticket reservation efficiencyVSAvoidgroup coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges ticketing functionality with social networking and group coordination features. When users reserve tickets, the system automatically creates or joins group coordination channels, enabling seamless communication and coordination among participants while maintaining the reserved seat holding period.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The platform acts as an intermediary between individual ticket purchasers and group coordination needs. It provides automated group formation, communication channels, and coordination tools that bridge the gap between simple ticket reservation and complex group event planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If split-fare features are implemented in group ticketing systems, then cost division capability is improved, but the systems do not provide methods for efficiently coordinating events between group participants

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecost divisionVSAvoidcoordination system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines payment coordination with event coordination in a unified platform. The same interface that manages split-fare payments also provides group chat, event details, attendance tracking, and communication tools, reducing overall system complexity despite the added functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Loss of information

If existing systems provide communication via message board or forum, then communication capability is improved, but they fail to provide relevant social tools and recommendations for event coordination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidsocial tool integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The platform provides a universal communication system that adapts its functionality based on the context. The same communication infrastructure supports private messages, group chats, event-specific discussions, and automated notifications, while integrating machine learning-based recommendations and social tools across all interaction types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Systems and methods for group event and service coordination are provided, including Smart Chats, which connect user accounts to tools for intelligently finding tickets for sale, cost splitting, accessing related events and services, and sharing media. The systems and methods further implement artificial intelligence to match non-connected user accounts and provide event and service recommendations to connected user accounts.
