Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing devices focus on providing movement routes with stopover locations, but users often need to visit multiple places to experience various activities, limiting experiences to a single location.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that generates movement plans, identifies experience providers capable of delivering desired experiences at the user's place of stay, and transmits experience information, allowing users to have multiple experiences at their destination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users visit multiple places to experience various activities, then the variety of experiences is improved, but the time and effort required to travel between locations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety of experiencesVSAvoidtravel time between locations
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple experience providers into a single location by enabling them to operate from the user's destination. Instead of visiting multiple separate places, the system merges various experience services (restaurants, entertainment venues, etc.) that can be accessed at the user's chosen destination location, thereby reducing travel time while maintaining experience variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system (the information processing device and communication network) that connects experience providers to users remotely. This intermediary enables experience providers to deliver services to users at their destination without requiring physical travel between multiple locations, thus reducing time loss while preserving experience diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users visit multiple places to experience various activities, then the variety of experiences is improved, but the complexity of planning and navigating multiple locations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety of experiencesVSAvoidcomplexity of planning and navigating
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the user's destination a universal access point for multiple experience providers. Instead of requiring users to plan and navigate multiple separate locations, the system enables various experiences to be accessed through a single destination location, simplifying planning and navigation while maintaining experience variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing device acts as an intermediary that manages the complexity of connecting multiple experience providers to the user. It handles the planning and navigation complexity by providing a centralized interface at the user's destination, thereby reducing the cognitive and practical complexity of coordinating multiple locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If experience providers are located at the user's place of stay, then the ease of accessing experiences is improved, but the ability to provide diverse experiences may be limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing experiencesVSAvoiddiversity of experiences
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the user's destination to serve as a universal hub that can accommodate multiple types of experience providers simultaneously. By making the destination multi-functional and capable of hosting diverse experiences (restaurants, entertainment, shopping, etc.), the system maintains both ease of access and experience diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a physical spatial arrangement to a virtual or multi-dimensional arrangement of experience providers. Instead of requiring physical proximity for all experiences, the system uses communication networks and digital interfaces to connect experience providers to users at their destination, adding a virtual dimension that enables diversity while maintaining accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

An information processing device includes a movement plan generation unit, a provider specification unit, and a transmission unit. The movement plan generation unit is configured to generate movement plan data indicating a user's movement plan. The provider specification unit is configured to extract an experience different from an original experience at a user's place that is allowed to be experienced during stay time, when the stay time at the user's place of stay included in the movement plan is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, and specify an experience provider capable of moving to the user's place of stay and providing the user with the experience. The transmission unit is configured to transmit, to the user, experience information data including information on the experience that the experience provider can provide. The movement plan generation unit is configured to calculate the stay time when the stay time becomes longer due to the user having a different experience. The transmission unit is configured to transmit, to the user, data of a movement plan including information of the calculated stay time.
