On-Demand Facility Rental System with Dynamic Space Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional reservation systems for renting facilities, such as conference rooms, require pre-determination of the number of users, which burdens organizers and reduces convenience for both organizers and users, leading to inferior operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An on-demand rental facility system with a management server connected to a communication network, allowing users to directly register for events without pre-determining the number of attendees, and providing features like unlocking keys, location notifications, and automated facility allocation based on event information and user data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of users is determined in advance before reservation, then the rental space size can be predetermined, but the burden on the reservation organizer increases and convenience for users is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-allocating facility spaces based on event type and duration rather than requiring advance determination of user numbers. The management server pre-reserves appropriate spaces and notifies users, allowing flexible event planning without requiring organizers to determine exact attendance numbers beforehand.
Solution Approach 2:
Users perform self-service by directly registering their participation through the user input unit without requiring organizer intervention to determine headcount. The system automatically processes user registrations, allocates spaces, and sends notifications, eliminating the burden of manual user determination and improving overall convenience.
2Manufacturing precision
If the number of users is determined at the time of reservation, then the rental space can be allocated accurately, but the operational efficiency of the facility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamics by allowing space allocation to be adjusted based on actual user registrations rather than fixed advance determinations. The management server dynamically allocates spaces as users register through the user input unit, improving operational efficiency while maintaining accurate space allocation through real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the management server receives user registration information, processes it in real-time, and provides feedback through notifications. This feedback loop enables accurate space allocation based on actual demand while improving operational efficiency through automated processing of registration data.

AI summary
An on-demand rental facility that can improve operational efficiency of a facility by improving convenience for both a reservation person and a user, wherein a management server for managing information on the on-demand rental facility includes: a reservation person receiver that receives an event holding information of an event to be held using the facility from the reservation person, to cause a storage unit to store event holding information; a user receiver that receives user information on the user of the event related to the event holding information from the user, to cause the storage unit to store user information; and a user notifier that notifies the user that the user information has been received. Since the user can directly register the user information, the reservation person does not need to determine the number of users at a time of reservation, and can relatively easily reserve the facility.
