Event Participation Control for Scheduled Data Acquisition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in efficiently accessing and utilizing desired electronic content and services due to the overwhelming availability of options, often leading to missed opportunities as they lose interest or forget about registered events without proper notification and activation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes an event participation operation control section and an information processing device, which acquires data from a content provision server and a management server to automatically activate and perform operations at scheduled times, ensuring users are notified and engaged with registered events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually search for and access electronic content, then they can find desired content, but they lose interest or forget about registered events due to the troublesome process
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically activating the information processing device at scheduled times before events occur, and by pre-acquiring event data from content provision servers. This eliminates the need for users to manually search and access content at the moment of need, ensuring timely participation in registered events while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically managing event participation without requiring continuous user intervention. The event participation operation control section autonomously activates the device, retrieves event data, and manages the information processing tasks, allowing users to benefit from registered events without needing to actively monitor or manually access them.
2Reliability
If the information processing device is always active to ensure event participation, then no events are missed, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic action by activating the information processing device only at specific scheduled times when events are expected to occur, rather than maintaining continuous operation. The event participation operation control section monitors for scheduled event times and activates the device periodically to acquire event data and perform information processing tasks, thereby ensuring reliable event participation while minimizing energy consumption during non-event periods.

AI summary
Disclosed herein is an information processing device for acquiring, via a network, data provided as an event by a content provision server for a set duration and performing an information processing task using the data, the information processing device including: an event participation operation control section adapted to acquire, from a management server that manages an event in which a user of the information processing device is registered for participation, setup data that sets up a given operation to be started at a given time relative to a start time of the event in which the user is registered for participation, and to control the given operation such that the operation is performed at the time specified by the setup; and an information processing section adapted to perform an information processing task using the event data acquired from the content provision server and generate output data after the given operation.
