Information Processing Apparatus Intermittent Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing technologies do not effectively handle the intermittent allocation of information to multiple elements, leading to inefficiencies in resource utilization and packing optimization, particularly in scenarios where information is not allocated to all objects at once.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that classifies elements into two subsets, where one subset receives information allocation at a time, using a system with an allocator, updater, reviewer, evaluator, and decider to dynamically allocate information based on rules and update subsets as elements arrive, optimizing packing positions and resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If information is allocated to all elements at once, then resource utilization can be optimized, but the system cannot handle intermittent arrival of elements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the set of elements into multiple subsets based on information allocation status. Elements are divided into those that have received information and those that haven't, allowing the system to process elements in groups as they arrive rather than requiring all elements to be present simultaneously. This segmentation enables the system to handle intermittent element arrival while maintaining optimization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary information allocation to subsets of elements before all elements are available. By allocating information to elements as they arrive rather than waiting for complete sets, the system prepares allocations in advance and updates subsets dynamically, improving both resource utilization and adaptability to intermittent arrivals.
2Quantity of substance
If packing positions are decided for all packages at once, then packing fraction can be optimized, but the system cannot accommodate packages arriving over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments packages into different subsets based on arrival time and allocation status. By dividing packages into those currently available and those yet to arrive, the system can optimize packing fractions for available packages immediately rather than waiting for complete sets, reducing time loss while maintaining packing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic subset updates as packages arrive and information is allocated. The subsets are not static but change over time to reflect the current state of package arrival and allocation progress, enabling the system to continuously optimize packing fractions without waiting for all packages to arrive.
3Reliability
If the system waits for all elements to arrive before allocating information, then complete information can be processed, but productivity decreases due to waiting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary information allocation to element subsets as elements arrive, rather than waiting for complete information. This preliminary action maintains reliability by ensuring accurate allocation based on available data while significantly improving productivity by processing information incrementally as it becomes available.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent maintains continuous information processing by allocating information to element subsets as they arrive, rather than pausing to wait for all elements. This continuous action improves productivity while maintaining reliability through systematic subset updates and progression toward complete allocation.

AI summary
According to an arrangement of the present invention, a probability to achieve a purpose is increased in a case where information is intermittently allocated to a plurality of elements. An information processing apparatus according to an arrangement of the present invention is an information processing apparatus (1) that allocates information to respective elements included in a first set and includes an allocator (123, 124, and 125). The allocator uses a first subset and a second subset, and allocates the information to at least one element included in the first subset. The first subset is constituted by elements which are included in the first set and in which information allocation may be performed at a present time. The second subset is constituted by elements which are included in the first set and in which the information allocation is not performed at the present time.
