Facility Reservation System Purpose-Based Function Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Facilities with multiple purposes of use face inconvenience due to unrecognized business use or unauthorized business activities when proper processes are not followed, leading to potential misuse or lack of permission.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that accepts input of a purpose of use during facility reservation and adjusts facility functions or information accordingly, ensuring proper permissions and use environments are maintained based on the selected purpose.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a facility is used for multiple purposes without distinguishing them, then the facility can be utilized more flexibly, but unauthorized business activities may occur and other users cannot recognize the business use
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by requiring users to specify the purpose of use during the reservation process before actually using the facility. This advance declaration ensures that business use is recognized and recorded before the facility is utilized, preventing unauthorized business activities while maintaining flexible multi-purpose usage.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a facility is used for multiple purposes without distinguishing them, then the facility can be utilized more flexibly, but business use requiring permission may be performed without permission
Solution Approach 1:
The system requires users to declare the purpose of use in advance during reservation, enabling the system to identify and control business use that requires permission before it occurs. This preliminary declaration prevents unauthorized business activities while allowing flexible multi-purpose facility utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by notifying users when their reservation requires permission approval. This feedback mechanism ensures that users are aware of the permission requirement before using the facility for business purposes, preventing unauthorized business activities while maintaining system flexibility.
3Ease of operation
If the reservation process is simplified without purpose of use input, then ease of reservation is improved, but proper permissions cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically identifying business use and determining permission requirements based on the declared purpose of use. This approach maintains ease of reservation while ensuring proper permission control through automated classification and notification mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to automatically declare their purpose of use during reservation, with the system then automatically determining whether permission is required. This self-declaration approach maintains ease of operation while ensuring reliability of permission control through automated processing.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, in a reservation process of making a reservation for use of a facility, accept input of one purpose of use among plural purposes of use provided for the facility, and in accordance with the accepted purpose of use, change at least one of a function provided in the reserved facility or information for which input is accepted in the reservation process.
