Solution Overview

Problem

Existing event management systems do not adequately enhance user convenience for participants, particularly in terms of event registration, deck creation, and match management.

Innovation Solution

An event management apparatus and system that includes a presentation control unit for presenting game media and events, a deck creation control unit for creating decks from selected game media, and a registration control unit for registering decks and events, allowing for flexible event registration based on relationships between events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually register for events and create decks independently, then users have full flexibility in event selection, but the registration process becomes time-consuming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent registration convenienceVSAvoidregistration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates multiple candidate decks based on user profiles and event requirements before the user needs to register. When a user expresses interest in an event, the system has already prepared suitable decks, eliminating the need for users to manually create decks from scratch and significantly reducing registration time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs deck creation and event registration without requiring manual user intervention. The registration control unit autonomously matches users with events and creates appropriate decks based on user preferences and event requirements, making the system serve itself rather than requiring users to perform complex manual operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides detailed deck creation options, then users can customize decks to their preferences, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeck customization flexibilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The deck creation process is divided into multiple independent stages: event selection, preference specification, candidate deck generation, and final selection. Each stage presents only the relevant controls and options for that specific step, preventing users from being overwhelmed by the entire complexity of deck creation at once while still allowing full customization when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the system automatically creates decks for users, then registration speed increases, but user control over deck composition decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration speedVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides dynamic control options that adapt to user needs. Users can select between automatic deck creation for speed and manual customization for control, or a hybrid approach where the system generates candidate decks that users can then modify. The level of automation is not fixed but adjusts based on user preferences expressed during the registration process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An event management apparatus which can communicate with a user terminal comprises a presentation control unit configured to present multiple first game media and multiple events using second game media corresponding to the first game media, to the user terminal, a deck creation control unit configured to create a deck based on a first game medium selected from the presented multiple first game media, and a registration control unit configured to register the created deck, two or more events including a first event and a second event, which are selected from the multiple events, wherein the registration control unit perform control so that the second game media can be registered according to relationship between the first event and the second event.
