Solution Overview

Problem

Existing user management methods fail to provide household job points that accurately reflect a user's contribution to household chores, leading to unfairness and lack of incentive among users.

Innovation Solution

A method for calculating household job points using an information processing device that acquires use information, collects household job data, and applies third-party coefficients to accurately reward users based on their job contributions, incorporating manufacturer and attribute coefficients to enhance fairness and motivation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If household job points are calculated based on simple use information without third party coefficients, then the calculation is simple and quick, but the fairness and accuracy of rewarding users based on their actual contributions is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of household job point calculationVSAvoidcomplexity of calculation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces third party coefficients as new parameters to the calculation system. These coefficients modify the basic calculation by incorporating additional factors such as appliance type, usage duration, and task difficulty, thereby improving the accuracy and fairness of household job point calculation while maintaining system manageability through structured parameter integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If third party coefficient information is incorporated into the calculation, then user rewards become more fair and motivating, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefairness of user reward systemVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the calculation system into distinct modules: data collection module for gathering use information, coefficient application module for incorporating third party coefficients, and calculation module for computing final points. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by making each component independent and easier to manage while maintaining high reliability through comprehensive data processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If comprehensive household job data is collected and processed, then the incentive system becomes more equitable and motivating, but the time and resources required for data processing increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of incentive deliveryVSAvoidtime for data collection and processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining third party coefficients and calculation rules before actual household job execution. The system prepares data collection templates and processing algorithms in advance, enabling rapid processing of household job data during execution without requiring extensive real-time analysis, thus maintaining high productivity while minimizing time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing device performs: acquiring use information indicating a use situation of an appliance or a facility; collecting household job data of a user on the basis of the use information; acquiring third party coefficient information indicating a third party coefficient set by a third party different from the user; and calculating, on the basis of the household job data and the third party coefficient information, a household job point that is commensurate with a household job amount of the user.
