Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals with scheduled entry to an event venue often arrive early and face challenges in finding suitable commercial facilities to utilize their spare time effectively due to congestion and lack of awareness of nearby options.

Innovation Solution

A privilege information issuing apparatus and system that acquires entry qualification information, calculates extra time until the event start, issues relevant privilege information for nearby commercial facilities, and notifies the individual of these opportunities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If people arrive early at the event venue, then they can avoid being late for the event start time, but they may not be able to find suitable commercial facilities to utilize their spare time effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepunctuality for event startVSAvoideffective utilization of spare time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by calculating the extra time available before the event starts and proactively issuing privilege information to attendees. This allows people to plan their spare time utilization in advance, ensuring they can both arrive punctually and effectively use their extra time at commercial facilities without needing to search for options on the day of the event.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The privilege information issuing apparatus acts as an intermediary between event attendees and commercial facilities. It receives entry qualification information from attendees, calculates their available extra time, and issues appropriate privilege information that matches both their time availability and the commercial facilities' offerings, thereby bridging the gap between punctual arrival and effective spare time utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Duration of action of moving object

If people arrive early at the event venue, then they have extra time before the event starts, but they may not be able to effectively use this time due to congestion and lack of awareness of nearby options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespare time before event startVSAvoidfinding suitable commercial facilities
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculation of the extra time available and proactively issues privilege information before the event day. This eliminates the need for attendees to search for commercial facilities on the day of the event, making their spare time utilization straightforward and easy despite potential congestion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback to attendees by issuing privilege information that is specifically tailored to their calculated extra time and the available commercial facilities. This feedback loop ensures that attendees receive relevant information about suitable facilities, making it easy for them to plan and execute their spare time activities without confusion or difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system issues privilege information based on calculated extra time, then it can match commercial facilities with attendee schedules, but it requires acquisition and calculation of entry qualification information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching commercial facilities with attendee schedulesVSAvoidacquisition and calculation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The privilege information issuing apparatus performs multiple functions within a single integrated system: acquiring entry qualification information, calculating extra time, determining suitable commercial facilities, and issuing tailored privilege information. This multi-functional approach enables adaptable scheduling matching while avoiding the need for separate complex systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically acquires entry qualification information and calculates extra time without requiring manual input or complex user interaction. This self-service approach simplifies the overall process, allowing the system to adapt to different attendee schedules and match them with appropriate commercial facilities through automated calculation and issuance of privilege information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A privilege information issuing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires entry qualification information with which a person with a schedule of entry to an event venue can enter the event venue through identity authentication; a calculation unit that calculates an extra time until a clock time that is attributable to a start of the event from a clock time at which the person with the schedule of entry is scheduled to arrive or arrives in a predetermined region including the event venue on the basis of the entry qualification information; an issuing unit that issues privilege information that are able to be used in one or more commercial facilities in a neighborhood of the event venue on the basis of the extra time; and a notification unit that notifies a terminal of the person with the schedule of entry of the issued privilege information.
