Facility Information Delivery Using User and Facility ID Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing facility monitoring systems fail to associate users with relevant facility-related information, leading to irrelevant information being provided to users.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a mobile terminal and a server device that uses facility and user IDs to identify facilities and users, allowing the server to extract and transmit relevant facility-related information to the mobile terminal for display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If facility-related information is stored and transmitted without user identification, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the information provided is irrelevant to specific users
Solution Approach 1:
The server device stores multiple types of facility-related information in advance, corresponding to different facilities and user categories. When a mobile terminal requests information, the server already has the relevant data prepared and can quickly extract and provide the appropriate information without needing to generate or search for it in real-time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces user category identification as an intermediary mechanism. Instead of directly matching users with specific information, the system uses user categories (such as employee, visitor, contractor) as a mediator to select and provide appropriate facility-related information. This intermediary layer resolves the contradiction by enabling relevant information delivery while maintaining system simplicity.
2Loss of information
If the server stores and processes multiple types of facility-related information with user identification, then the relevance of information to users is improved, but the processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server device pre-stores multiple types of facility-related information organized by facility identification and user category. This preliminary organization allows the server to quickly extract relevant information without complex real-time processing, reducing the time loss while maintaining high information relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by organizing facility-related information according to different user categories (such as employees, visitors, contractors). Each user category has its own tailored information set, allowing the server to efficiently extract and provide locally optimized information for each user type without processing all information for every user.
3Ease of operation
If the system provides general facility information to all users, then the system is easy to operate, but the information does not meet specific user needs and roles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses user category identification as an intermediary to bridge the gap between simple information access and user-specific relevance. The mobile terminal automatically transmits user identification information, and the server uses this intermediary category system to select and provide appropriately tailored facility-related information, maintaining ease of operation while improving user-specific relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The server device pre-prepares and stores multiple types of facility-related information corresponding to different user categories. This preliminary preparation allows the system to provide user-specific information automatically without requiring complex real-time analysis or user input, thus maintaining ease of operation while delivering relevant information.

AI summary
The information providing system includes a mobile terminal and a server device that communicates with the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes: a sensor that reads a facility ID used to identify at least one facility; and a communication device that transmits, to the server device, the facility ID read by the sensor and a user ID used to identify a user of the mobile terminal. The server device includes: a memory that stores a plurality of types of facility-related information; a processor that extracts, from the plurality of types of facility-related information stored in the memory, facility-related information corresponding to the facility ID and the user ID transmitted from the mobile terminal; and a communication device that transmits, to the mobile terminal, the facility-related information extracted by the processor. The mobile terminal includes a display on which the facility-related information transmitted from the server device is displayed.
