Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems fail to gather and synchronize information from event attendees and share it with both attendees and third parties in real-time, especially during events, and do not utilize social media platforms for this purpose.

Innovation Solution

An event management system with a mobile software application platform that allows participants to receive push content and generate real-time activity feeds, which can be shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, enabling users to transmit and share notifications, ads, updates, and other information via a server.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional systems distribute event information to mobile users, then information delivery is achieved, but real-time two-way synchronization and social media integration are not accomplished

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation synchronizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates between mobile devices and social media platforms. The server receives activity feeds from mobile devices, processes the information, and distributes it to social media platforms and other participants. This intermediary approach enables real-time two-way synchronization without requiring direct complex connections between all devices and platforms, thus improving information synchronization while managing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If event information is shared among attendees, then event visibility increases, but real-time gathering and synchronization during events is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent promotion efficiencyVSAvoidinformation delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous real-time information exchange between mobile devices and the server throughout the event duration. The system maintains persistent connections that continuously transmit activity feeds, updates, and interactions as they occur, eliminating information delays. This continuous action ensures that all participants have access to current event information without time losses, while the automated processing maintains high promotion efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Ease of operation

If social media platforms are integrated for information sharing, then engagement increases, but conventional push notification systems are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing capabilityVSAvoidplatform integration flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the server to handle multiple functions: receiving push notifications from mobile devices, processing activity feeds, distributing information to social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), and enabling direct participant communication. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to integrate with multiple social media platforms and provide comprehensive information sharing capabilities, enhancing both ease of operation and adaptability to different platforms.

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

AI summary

System platform, software and hardware equipment and components, and methodologies are provided for gathering, organizing, distributing and synchronizing information about events, event attendees or group activities associated with events. Event management system and methods include mobile software application platform for event participants to receive push content, and generate and share real time activity feed(s) on various social media and/or dialogue platforms via a server that transmits push information (notifications, ads, alerts, updates) to event participant's mobile application, receives activity feed information from mobile application, and selectively transmits activity feed information to social media and/or dialog platforms. Events include conferences, tradeshows, seminars, or any activities involving one or more participants. Event participants include attendees, exhibitors, speakers, sponsors, organizers, or any other groups or individuals associated with event. Social media and/or dialogue platforms include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, text messaging, or any other communication media supporting data transfer or sharing between users.
