Geo-fenced Event Platform for Controlled Guest Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional social media platforms are inadequate for events that require exclusive guest interaction, as they lack geo-location-based features to control access and sharing of information, leading to inefficient guest engagement and privacy issues.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing geo-location technology to create event-specific platforms where users can create events with geo-fences, allowing guests to interact through direct messaging, media sharing, and friend requests, while charging fees based on ticket sales, push notifications, and advertising, with options for public or private events and post-event access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional social media algorithms are used to share information with friends, then information sharing is simplified, but event exclusivity and privacy control are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the user base into event-specific groups using geo-fenced boundaries. Only users whose device locations fall within the defined geo-fence can access and share information for that specific event, creating isolated information ecosystems for each event while maintaining overall system simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The geo-location system acts as an intermediary layer between users and event information. The system automatically verifies user location against the geo-fence and mediates information access accordingly, eliminating the need for complex manual invitation systems while preserving event exclusivity
2Reliability
If geo-location technology is implemented to control event access, then event privacy and exclusivity are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The geo-location technology serves multiple functions simultaneously: it controls event access, enables automatic guest identification, facilitates information sharing permissions, and supports post-event access decisions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems while achieving comprehensive privacy control
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically performs location verification, guest identification, and access permission assignment without requiring manual intervention from event organizers. Users simply need to have location services enabled on their devices, and the system handles all privacy control operations autonomously
3Reliability
If event features are restricted to geo-fenced locations, then event privacy is maintained, but guest accessibility and engagement flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts access permissions based on real-time location data. Guests can access event features when they enter the geo-fenced area and automatically lose access when they leave, creating flexible, context-aware privacy control that adapts to guest movements without restricting overall accessibility
4Productivity
If monetization features are added to generate revenue, then organizer profitability increases, but system complexity and user cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The monetization features are merged with the existing geo-location and event management system. Ticket sales, push notifications, and advertising revenues are integrated into the same platform that already controls event access and information sharing, achieving profitability without requiring separate complex systems

AI summary
A system and method of allowing guests of events to interact with one another. A user of an event system may log into the event system and create a user profile to be utilized in the event system. The user may create an event with the event system. The event may include a geo-fence surrounding a location of the event, which may be customized by the user of the event system. The event may be a public event or a private event. The user of the event system may create an event poster of the event, which may include details of the event, the location of the event, the ability to invite the guests to the event, and the ability to bookmark the event. The user of the event system may invite at least some of the plurality of users to be the guests of the event. The geo-location of the guests of the event may also be determined. The guests of the event may be allowed to access features of the event, which may include direct messaging, guest profiles, and friend requests when the geo-location of the guests is within the geo-fence of the event. The features of the event may include direct messaging, guest profiles, and friend requests. The media content of the guests of the event being organized into galleries. The system and method may include monetization tools for utilizing features of the event system. The event system may charge users and guests of the event system depending on the type of service provided.
