Event Handling System for Proactive Mobile Assistance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile device services primarily focus on targeted advertising and search results, failing to assist users in handling stressful situations proactively, such as vehicle breakdowns or emergencies, by passively providing search results without determining the user's specific needs or circumstances.
Innovation Solution
A method that identifies events on a mobile device, selects relevant actions based on user location, schedule, and profile, and performs those actions automatically or suggests them to the user, integrating with a database system to learn and improve predictions over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides targeted advertising and search results, then service providers can market products to consumers, but the system fails to assist users in handling stressful situations proactively
Solution Approach 1:
The system proactively identifies events and determines actions before users explicitly request help. By monitoring user context (location, schedule, profile) and anticipating needs, the system performs preliminary analysis and prepares assistance options in advance, transforming passive search response into active problem prevention and resolution
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intelligent event handling service as an intermediary between users and service providers. This mediator analyzes user events, determines appropriate actions, and coordinates with relevant service providers, thereby bridging the gap between user needs and available services while enabling proactive assistance
2Loss of information
If the system passively responds to search requests with pages of results, then users can find information, but the system fails to determine and handle user's specific needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant information and actions needed to handle user events, rather than presenting comprehensive search results. By filtering and prioritizing based on user context (location, schedule, profile), the system delivers targeted assistance that reduces information overload while maintaining completeness of critical details
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the parameters of information delivery based on user context. By adjusting what information is presented, how it's presented, and when it's presented based on event type, user profile, and situational factors, the system optimizes information delivery to match specific user needs without increasing overall system complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides comprehensive search results, then users can potentially find solutions, but users must manually evaluate and select appropriate actions during stressful situations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user events and pre-determines appropriate actions before users need to make decisions. By anticipating user needs and preparing action recommendations in advance based on event context, the system eliminates manual evaluation time during stressful situations while maintaining comprehensive service coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automated event handling where the system itself determines and executes actions without requiring manual user intervention. By monitoring user context and automatically coordinating with service providers, the system reduces user workload and response time while maintaining adaptability to diverse situations
Data Source
AI summary
A service that determines what event has occurred and provide a list of actions that the service can be performed in order to help the user through a hectic time period is disclosed. In one example, one or more modules can identify one or more events and transmitting an indication of the at least one event to a mobile device. Then, one or more modules can receive an indication that a mobile device has selected at least one of the at least one event, and determine at least one action to perform, wherein the at least one action can be associated with the at least one selected event.
