Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for accessing venue-based content during events are limited in providing personalized and location-specific information to attendees, lacking efficient methods for determining user location and event status, and failing to offer tailored experiences beyond live broadcasts.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a client device to check-in to an event based on geographic location, determining if the device is at a venue and if the event is in progress, allowing for the transmission of personalized event information, including statistics, replays, and special offers, through an event management server and client application, which integrates with social networks and location services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If general event information is provided to all attendees through broadcast systems, then information coverage is improved, but information personalization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidinformation personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from uniform broadcast information to location-specific personalized content by determining user geographic location and delivering tailored event information, special offers, and statistics based on their position at the venue, making different parts of the information system serve different user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If location determination systems are implemented to enable personalized content delivery, then information personalization is improved, but system complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation personalizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an event management server as an intermediary that handles location determination, content personalization, and delivery coordination, reducing the complexity burden on client devices while enabling sophisticated personalized content delivery through centralized processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If real-time location tracking and event status monitoring are implemented, then content delivery accuracy is improved, but energy consumption deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic location updates and event status checks rather than continuous real-time monitoring, maintaining sufficient content delivery accuracy by updating information at appropriate intervals while significantly reducing the energy consumption associated with constant tracking and monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

The accessing of event related content on a client device at an event techniques include a method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some embodiments of these techniques, the method includes receiving a request to check-in to the event from the client device. The check-in request includes geographic location information of the client device. The method further includes determining whether the client device is located at a venue holding the event based on the received geographic location information of the client device and a first predetermined radius. The method further includes determining whether the event at the venue is in progress. The method further includes transmitting a first plurality of event information to the client device based upon determination that the client device is located at the venue and the event is in progress.
