GUI for Attraction Recommendation Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Property managers face challenges in efficiently recommending attractions to multiple properties, as existing systems require repetitive and time-consuming processes to manage and display information to guests across various properties.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface (GUI) is developed to facilitate the association of candidate attractions with multiple properties, allowing property managers to easily select and display attraction information across multiple properties through a web-based management application and cloud-based service, reducing the need for repetitive recommendations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If property managers use existing systems to recommend attractions to multiple properties, then attraction recommendations can be provided to guests, but the process becomes repetitive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates a list of candidate attractions that are not previously recommended, allowing property managers to quickly select from pre-prepared options rather than creating recommendations from scratch for each property. This preliminary preparation of candidate attractions significantly reduces the time required for managing recommendations across multiple properties.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical user interface enables a single attraction recommendation to be associated with multiple properties simultaneously. A property manager can select one or more candidate attractions and associate them with multiple properties in a single operation, making the recommendation system universal across the entire portfolio rather than requiring separate recommendations for each property.
2Ease of operation
If property managers manually manage recommendations for each property, then specific attraction information can be provided to each property, but the process requires repetitive actions across multiple properties
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the recommendation process across multiple properties into a single unified operation. The GUI allows property managers to select multiple properties and associate candidate attractions with all selected properties simultaneously, combining what would otherwise be repetitive individual actions into one efficient operation that reduces both operational complexity and time requirements.
3Loss of information
If the system displays all attractions for all properties, then complete information is available, but the interface becomes overwhelming and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The interface segments the attraction recommendation process into distinct steps: first displaying candidate attractions that are not previously recommended, then allowing selection of properties to associate with selected attractions. This segmentation presents information in manageable portions rather than overwhelming users with all possible attractions and properties simultaneously, while still maintaining access to complete information through the multi-step process.

AI summary
A method includes displaying attraction information that identifies at least a plurality of candidate attractions, wherein the candidate attractions are attractions that are not previously recommended; receiving a first user input comprising a selection of a single candidate attraction among the plurality of candidate attractions; displaying property information that identifies a plurality of properties after receiving the first user input; receiving a second user input comprising a selection of one or more properties among the plurality of properties; and associating the selected candidate attraction and the selected one or more properties to permit respective devices disposed at the one or more properties to display information of the selected candidate attraction.
