Solution Overview

Problem

Manual interactions between users and third parties are inefficient, slow, and insecure, necessitating a system for improving efficiency, speed, and data security in interactions.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates user networks of devices, including automobiles and mobile devices, with vendor systems to receive provisioning requests, determine locations, calculate real-time limits, and optimize product delivery by establishing communication links and transferring resources for interactions such as fuel purchases or toll payments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual interactions between users and third parties are used for data conveyance, then system complexity is reduced, but interaction efficiency and speed deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a vendor system as an intermediary platform that mediates interactions between users and third parties. This system automatically conveys data and information, eliminating the need for manual interactions while maintaining manageable system complexity through centralized automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables automated self-service interactions where users can request products and services, and the system automatically processes these requests by conveying necessary data to third parties without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving interaction efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If manual face-to-face conveyance of data is used, then data security is maintained through direct control, but interaction speed and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction speedVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual face-to-face data conveyance with automated electronic data transmission systems. This substitution increases interaction speed while maintaining data security through encrypted digital communication channels and automated authentication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The vendor system acts as a secure intermediary that handles data transmission between users and third parties automatically. This mediator ensures data security through controlled access and encrypted communications while enabling faster interactions compared to manual methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If real-time location tracking and continuous calculations are implemented, then delivery optimization is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery optimizationVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous real-time tracking, the system implements periodic location updates and calculations at relevant milestones in the delivery process. This approach maintains delivery optimization while significantly reducing energy consumption by activating tracking only when necessary for decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the intensity of location tracking based on delivery stage and urgency. During critical phases, real-time monitoring is activated for optimal delivery decisions, while during stable phases, tracking is reduced or suspended to conserve energy, balancing optimization needs with energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communicable integration of a user network of devices and a vendor system. Embodiments receive, at the vendor system from the user network of devices, a request for provisioning of products by a vendor; determine a provisioning location for provisioning of the products by the vendor; continuously identify a real-time location of the user via the one or more components of the user network of devices; continuously calculate a real-time first limit based on the continuously identified current location of the user and the provisioning location; calculate a total time to provision the products comprising a sum of a product preparation time and the real-time first limit; and optimize delivery of the products based on the total time to provision and the real-time location of the user.
