Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional learning support systems do not incorporate image capturing tasks or missions, missing an opportunity to engage users in learning through image capture experiences and maintain motivation by progressing through levels of achievement.

Innovation Solution

A method is provided to distribute image capture missions to user terminals with image capture functions, where users complete tasks, and upon evaluation, receive new missions based on their level of achievement, promoting continuous learning and engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional learning support systems distribute learning materials to user terminals, then users can access learning content, but the systems fail to engage users in image capturing activities and provide limited learning opportunities through practical experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning opportunityVSAvoidimage capture experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between learning materials and user terminals, distributing image capture missions that bridge theoretical learning with practical experience. The server receives captured images, evaluates them, and provides feedback, creating a complete learning loop that conventional systems lack.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system distributes image capture missions in advance to user terminals before users actually perform the capturing. This preliminary distribution of structured tasks prepares users for practical experience and guides their learning journey through progressively challenging missions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If learning support systems provide static learning materials, then content distribution is simple, but user motivation and engagement decrease over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distributionVSAvoiduser motivation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static learning materials to dynamic image capture missions that adapt based on user performance. Missions are updated and redistributed based on evaluation results, creating an evolving learning experience that maintains user motivation through progressive challenge and achievement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The server evaluates captured images and provides feedback to users, creating a closed-loop system where user performance informs future mission distribution. This feedback mechanism sustains motivation by recognizing achievement and guiding continued improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the system evaluates user performance and provides new missions, then learning progression is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelevel of achievementVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server automatically evaluates captured images and determines achievement levels without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages mission distribution, evaluation, and progression tracking, reducing operational complexity while maintaining precise measurement of user achievement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method includes providing a mission regarding image capturing to a user terminal having an image capture function, evaluating an image transmitted from the user terminal in response to the mission, and additionally providing a new mission regarding image capturing to the user terminal in a case where a level of achievement of the mission is determined to satisfy a criterion based on the evaluation.
