Information Output for Adaptive Hierarchical Activity Goals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for setting and achieving goals in activities lack a structured approach that maintains user motivation and efficiency, particularly when there is a significant gap between the user's current abilities and the desired goal.
Innovation Solution
An information output system that includes a measurement device, an electronic device, and a server device, which sets a final goal and interim goals with detailed plans, provides real-time feedback, and uses machine learning to adjust plans based on user progress, ensuring motivation and efficient goal achievement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single final goal is set without interim goals, then the overall goal is clear, but user motivation decreases when the gap between current ability and final goal is large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a long-term final goal into multiple short-term interim goals that are sequentially achievable. Each interim goal represents a smaller step that users can realistically achieve, providing frequent sense of accomplishment and maintaining motivation throughout the journey to the final goal.
2Productivity
If detailed plans are provided for every activity, then goal achievement efficiency increases, but system complexity and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic plan adjustment where the system automatically modifies interim goals and activity plans based on real-time user progress, performance data, and achievement rates. This allows the system to provide detailed guidance when needed while simplifying or adjusting plans when user capacity changes, optimizing both efficiency and usability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user progress toward interim goals and uses this feedback to adjust subsequent plans. By providing real-time feedback on achievement status and automatically adapting the plan, the system maintains high goal achievement efficiency without requiring manual intervention or overly complex user management.
3Ease of manufacture
If static goals and plans are set in advance, then planning is simple, but adaptability to user progress and changing conditions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static goals into dynamic interim goals that automatically adjust based on user progress. The system calculates achievement rates and modifies subsequent interim goals and activity plans in real-time, enabling the plan to adapt to changing user conditions while maintaining ease of initial setup.

AI summary
An information output method to be executed by a computer includes: a setting operation to set a goal, a strategy, and a plan for an activity of a user, the strategy and the plan being for achieving the goal; and an outputting operation to output an instruction regarding the activity according to the set plan and a state of the user. The setting operation includes: a first setting operation to set a final goal in the activity and the strategy for achieving the final goal; and a second setting operation to set an interim goal and the plan for achieving the interim goal based on the strategy. The interim goal is set between the final goal and the user's initial state at a time of setting the final goal. The outputting operation outputs the instruction according to the plan for the interim goal and the state of the user.
