Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems that utilize IC chips for non-contact communication require significant burdens on service providers to modify programs and systems every time new services are introduced or data used by IC chips is modified, limiting flexibility and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system comprising an information processing terminal with an IC chip, a data provider device, and a control information processing device that creates service data by combining first data records from the terminal and second data records stored in the control device, allowing for flexible data creation and reduction in dependence on terminal-specific systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If service providers modify programs and systems every time new services are introduced or IC chip data is modified, then service functionality is improved, but system complexity and maintenance burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides service data into two separate data records: first data records stored in the IC chip and second data records stored in the control information processing device. This segmentation allows each part to be independently managed and updated without affecting the other, reducing system complexity while maintaining service adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control information processing device acts as an intermediary that creates service data by combining first and second data records. This intermediary component manages the complexity of service provisioning, allowing service providers to introduce new services by simply adding new second data records without modifying existing IC chips or terminal systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If service providers construct information processing systems for each new service, then service capability is improved, but loss of time and productivity decrease

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidsystem construction time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control information processing device is designed with universal functionality to create service data for multiple different services by combining first data records from various IC chips with second data records. This eliminates the need to construct separate information processing systems for each new service, significantly reducing system construction time while maintaining diverse service capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Second data records are pre-prepared and stored in the control information processing device for various services. When a new service is introduced, the system simply needs to add new second data records rather than constructing entire information processing systems from scratch, thereby reducing the time required to deploy new services.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If data used by IC chips is modified, then service data accuracy is improved, but program modification requirements increase the burden on service providers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice data accuracyVSAvoidprogram modification burden

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the service-specific data into separate second data records stored in the control information processing device, distinct from the first data records in IC chips. This extraction allows service data to be modified by simply updating second data records without requiring program modifications, maintaining data accuracy while reducing operational burden.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

There is provided an information processing system that includes an information processing terminal equipped with an IC chip capable of non-contact communication with a reader/writer, a data provider device that stores a first data record for creating service data, and a control information processing device that creates the service data and transmits the service data to the information processing terminal. The information processing terminal includes a terminal communication portion that acquires the first data record from the data provider device and transmits the first data record to the control information processing device. The control information processing device includes a control communication portion that receives the first data record, a control storage portion that stores a second data record for creating the service data, and a data creation portion that creates the service data based on the first data record and the second data record.
