Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for organizing events struggle to verify participant skill levels, leading to difficulties in finding individuals with the required abilities to participate in specific activities, often requiring users to sacrifice desired features when scheduling events.

Innovation Solution

An event system that allows users to specify participant skill level requirements and determines eligibility based on user-provided information, using geolocation and external performance tracking repositories to verify participant qualifications, enabling the organization of events tailored to specific skill levels within a geographical area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users specify participant skill level requirements for events, then event organization quality and participant matching improve, but system complexity increases due to verification requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveparticipant skill verificationVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary verification system that acts as a mediator between event organizers and participants. This system automatically verifies participant skill levels by comparing participant profiles against event requirements, eliminating the need for manual verification while maintaining reliability. The intermediary system handles the complexity of verification internally, allowing users to specify requirements without directly managing the verification complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Participants automatically provide their own skill level information and qualifications through their profiles, eliminating the need for organizers to manually verify each participant's abilities. The system self-verifies eligibility by automatically comparing participant data against event criteria, reducing system complexity while maintaining verification reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual verification of participant abilities is implemented, then event quality improves, but time consumption and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveevent qualityVSAvoidtime consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Participants pre-submit their skill levels, qualifications, and relevant information when creating their profiles before attending events. This preliminary action allows the system to automatically verify eligibility at the time of event registration without requiring time-consuming manual verification during event organization, thus maintaining event quality while reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual verification processes with automated digital verification systems. Instead of organizers manually reviewing participant abilities, the system automatically compares digital profiles against event requirements using computational algorithms, dramatically reducing the time required for verification while maintaining or improving event quality through consistent objective criteria.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If skill level filtering is implemented, then finding suitable participants becomes easier, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveparticipant findingVSAvoidinformation processing

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments participant information into structured categories such as skill levels, qualifications, experience, and preferences. This segmentation allows the system to efficiently filter and match participants against event requirements by comparing specific segments rather than processing entire unstructured profiles, making participant finding easier while reducing overall information processing requirements through organized data structures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for generating events based on one or more user specified parameters within a geographical area. An event may be generated based on an event location, an event time, and event type, and a participation requirement specified by the event organizer. A potential event participant may receive a notification of the event. A potential event participant may be enrolled in the event upon determining event eligibility of potential event participant.
