Innovation Solution

An interactive application processing method and apparatus that allows users to qualify for offline activities by participating in associated online activities, generating a certificate based on their identity information for offline participation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If online interactive activities are kept separate from offline activities, then operational simplicity is maintained, but information interaction between online and offline activities cannot be performed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation interaction between online and offline activitiesVSAvoidsystem complexity for integrating online and offline activities
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a code generation module and code recognition module as intermediaries between online and offline systems. The online system generates unique codes for qualified users, and the offline system recognizes these codes to verify eligibility. This intermediary mechanism enables information interaction without requiring direct complex integration between online and offline activity systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If offline activities require ticket purchase, then revenue generation is achieved, but user participation based on online performance is prevented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser participation flexibility based on online performanceVSAvoidease of implementing qualification-based participation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary qualification assessment by evaluating user performance in online activities before allowing participation in offline activities. The code generation module automatically generates participation codes for users who meet the qualification criteria, eliminating the need for manual ticket purchase while ensuring only qualified users can participate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If online and offline activities are integrated, then user engagement is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement experienceVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the integration system into distinct functional modules: a code generation module in the online system, a code recognition module in the offline system, and a database for storing qualification information. This segmentation allows each module to operate independently while maintaining simple interfaces for user interaction, thereby enhancing user engagement without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An interactive application processing method is described. A selection of an online interactive activity by a user is received in an interactive application. The online interactive activity is associated with an offline interactive activity. According to a past performance result, a determination is made, by circuitry of an interactive application apparatus, as to whether the user qualifies to participate in the offline interactive activity. When the user is determined to qualify to participate in the offline interactive activity, identity information of the user is acquired. A certificate is generated based on the identity information for allowing the user to participate in the offline interactive activity.
