Group Trip Planning via Interactive Customized Scheme Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional trip planning systems prioritize routes based solely on traffic and weather conditions, neglecting individual user preferences such as sightseeing, dining, and scenic interests, leading to suboptimal travel experiences.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that generates an interactive customized scheme object for each user in a group, merging these to create a prioritized group trip plan based on common routes and user preferences, including sightseeing, restaurant, and scenery choices, using machine learning algorithms and real-time updates for traffic and weather conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If trip planning systems prioritize routes based solely on traffic and weather conditions, then the fastest route is identified, but individual user preferences such as sightseeing, dining, and scenic interests are neglected
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the trip planning process into two distinct phases: first identifying the fastest route based on traffic and weather conditions, then separately integrating user preferences for sightseeing, dining, and scenic interests. This segmentation allows both speed optimization and preference adaptation to be addressed independently and combined in the final itinerary.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the fastest route determination with user preference integration to create a comprehensive trip plan. By combining these previously separate functions, the system simultaneously achieves both speed optimization and adaptability to individual user interests in sightseeing, dining, and scenery.
2Device complexity
If a static trip grouping scheme is used for a group of users, then the planning process is simple, but it cannot accommodate individual user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the group trip planning into a static grouping component (maintaining simplicity) and individual preference components (enabling customization). Each user's preferences are processed separately while maintaining the overall group structure, achieving both simplicity and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The static trip grouping scheme is enhanced with multi-functionality to serve both as a simple organizational framework and as a basis for individualized preference integration. The same grouping structure supports both group-level planning simplicity and individual-level preference accommodation simultaneously.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple individual customized schemes are generated for each user in a group, then user preferences are well accommodated, but the merging process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The merging process is segmented into distinct stages: first merging common elements across all user schemes (such as shared destinations and time slots), then integrating individual preferences in a structured sequence. This segmentation reduces the complexity of merging multiple customized schemes by breaking it into manageable steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary merging of common trip elements before finalizing individual preferences. By pre-establishing the shared framework and common itinerary components, the subsequent integration of individual preferences becomes less complex and more systematic.

AI summary
Provided are systems, methods, and media for building a prioritized group trip object to generate a social trip plan recommendation. An example method includes receiving a static trip grouping scheme object for a group of users. Generating an interactive customized scheme object (ICSO) for each user based, at least in part, on the received static trip grouping scheme object and on a set of user preferences of the user such that a plurality of ICSOs are generated for the group of users. Merging the plurality of ICSOs to generate a prioritized group trip ICSO. Generating a recommended trip plan for the group based, at least in part, on the prioritized group trip ICSO.
