Problem

Event organizers face challenges in accurately identifying the electrical infrastructure needs of participants, leading to dissatisfaction and potential revenue loss due to the variety of electric platforms used by vendors and the lack of electrical knowledge among participants.

Innovation Solution

A data controller system that electronically receives and processes basic data including event, vendor, producer, and supply identifiers to generate and transmit accurate output data, facilitating improved event planning by automating the identification of electrical needs through a networked-based system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If organizers manually identify electrical infrastructure needs of participants, then they can provide personalized attention and understanding, but the accuracy of electrical platform information is insufficient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of electrical platform informationVSAvoidtime for identifying electrical needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of organizers identifying electrical needs with an automated computer-based system. The system automatically collects vendor information, identifies electrical platform requirements, and matches them with appropriate infrastructure, eliminating manual evaluation and significantly improving both accuracy and speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

Vendors are required to self-report their electrical platform needs through the system during registration. This self-service approach allows the system to automatically capture accurate electrical requirements without requiring organizers to manually assess each vendor's needs, thereby improving information accuracy while reducing time investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of manufacture

If organizers rely on participant-provided electrical information, then the process is simple, but the information accuracy is insufficient due to lack of electrical knowledge among participants

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of information collectionVSAvoidaccuracy of electrical platform information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary computer-based system that acts as a mediator between vendors and organizers. The system provides standardized electrical platform options and requirements to vendors, collects their responses, and processes this information using electrical expertise embedded in the software, thereby maintaining ease of information collection while ensuring accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the electrical information collection process by changing the parameters from open-ended vendor descriptions to standardized electrical platform categories and specifications. This parameter standardization allows vendors to easily select from predefined options while ensuring the collected information meets the required accuracy standards for event planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports numerous types of electric platforms, then vendor versatility is improved, but the complexity of identifying and matching electrical needs increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport for various electric platformsVSAvoidcomplexity of electrical needs identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex electrical platform requirements into distinct, manageable categories and components. The system divides electrical needs into separate identifiable elements that can be independently assessed and matched, making the overall complex matching process more tractable and systematic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal computer-based system that handles multiple types of electrical platforms through a single integrated platform. The system is designed to accommodate diverse vendor electrical requirements using common processing logic and standardized data structures, thereby supporting versatility without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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