Solution Overview

Problem

Ride-hailing methods require manual operation on software, which can be inconvenient for users, especially the elderly and children unfamiliar with such operations, degrading the user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows users to generate travel orders through gestures and location detection, enabling the ride-hailing platform to determine departure and destination addresses based on collected gestures and device location, without manual software operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual operation on ride-hailing software is required, then the system can accurately obtain user travel information, but the ease of operation deteriorates for users unfamiliar with software operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of travel informationVSAvoidconvenience of booking
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual software operations with gesture-based mechanical actions. Users make gestures (e.g., pointing, waving) that are captured by sensors, and the system automatically extracts travel information from these gestures combined with location data, eliminating the need for users to manually input information through software interfaces.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically obtaining departure and destination addresses through gesture recognition and location services without requiring user interaction with software forms. The travel order is generated automatically based on the recognized gestures and device location, making the booking process autonomous and user-friendly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If traditional software-based ride-hailing operations are used, then the system maintains operational control, but device complexity increases for users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem controlVSAvoidsoftware operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the core functionality of ride-hailing booking from complex software operations and implements it through simple gesture recognition. The system separates the information collection function from manual input by using sensors to capture gestures and automatically deriving travel details, thereby reducing the operational burden on users while maintaining system control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If manual input methods are used to obtain departure and destination addresses, then data accuracy is ensured, but loss of time increases due to manual operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of address informationVSAvoidbooking time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-positioning the departure address based on the device's current location before the user completes the booking. When the user makes a gesture indicating destination, the system already has the departure information ready, allowing immediate generation of the travel order without requiring sequential manual input of both addresses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method of generating a travel order includes: receiving a first gesture collected by a first terminal device and a location of the first terminal device; in response to a request for a travel order triggered by the first gesture, receiving a second gesture collected by the first terminal device; generating the travel order including a departure address and a destination address, wherein the destination address matches the second gesture, and the departure address is associated with the location of the first terminal device; and sending the travel order.
