Information Processor Conveyance Route via Person Nodes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information delivery methods, such as sending notifications to mobile devices, may not ensure immediate awareness of the recipient and cannot reach individuals without devices, leading to unreliable information conveyance.
Innovation Solution
An information processor that generates a conveyance route including both device and person nodes, using various output modalities like email, voice, and SNS messages to ensure reliable information delivery, with dynamic route updates based on user locations and situations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If notification is sent to mobile device, then information delivery speed is improved, but reliability of information conveyance deteriorates because recipient may not be immediately aware or may not have the device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces human operators as intermediary nodes in the information conveyance system. When automated delivery to a device fails or is unreliable, the system routes information through human operators who can physically deliver or ensure delivery to the recipient, thereby improving reliability while maintaining reasonable delivery speed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the information conveyance system into multiple independent paths: automated device-to-device transmission, human operator-mediated transmission, and direct personal delivery. This segmentation allows the system to select the most reliable path for each specific situation, resolving the contradiction between speed and reliability
2Reliability
If conveyance route includes multiple transit nodes (devices and persons), then reliability of information conveyance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic route selection where the conveyance path is not fixed but adapts based on real-time conditions such as device availability, recipient location, and situation context. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain reliability by selecting optimal paths while avoiding unnecessary complexity by not pre-defining all possible routes
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the status of information conveyance at each node. When a node fails or becomes unavailable, the feedback triggers automatic route recalculation and redirection through alternative nodes, maintaining reliability without requiring complex manual intervention for each failure scenario
