Interest Detection Apparatus for Social Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In social gatherings where people are together for the first time, they often fail to recognize and engage with common interests, leading to inadequate communication due to insufficient analysis and presentation of user interests based on their behavior and expressed information.
Innovation Solution
An information presentation apparatus that detects nearby users with shared interests and executes a notification operation, such as moving towards them or projecting a related image, to facilitate communication, while also considering user preferences to avoid unwanted notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a mechanism analyzes user interest from behavior and information to provide interest information, then user interest analysis capability is improved, but communication initiation between users with common interests is not sufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The information presentation apparatus automatically performs interest analysis and communication initiation without requiring user intervention. The detection unit detects nearby apparatuses, the specification unit specifies interest themes, and the execution unit autonomously executes notification operations when common interests are found, making the system self-serve the communication initiation function.
Solution Approach 2:
The information presentation apparatus acts as an intermediary between users with common interests. It detects nearby apparatuses, analyzes their interests, and mediates communication by executing notification operations that facilitate interaction between users who share common interests but would not otherwise initiate contact.
2Productivity
If notification operations are executed to notify users of common interests, then communication between users with common interests is promoted, but user privacy and preference may be violated
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit provides feedback by determining whether the first user wants to receive notifications before executing notification operations. This feedback mechanism ensures that user preferences are respected and privacy is protected while still promoting communication when users are open to it.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system is made dynamic by allowing users to control their notification preferences. The determination unit assesses user willingness to receive notifications, and the execution unit adapts its behavior based on this assessment, enabling the system to dynamically adjust between promoting communication and respecting user privacy based on real-time user state.

AI summary
There is provided an information presentation apparatus. A detection unit detects whether another information presentation apparatus is within a predetermined range from an own apparatus. A specification unit specifies a theme in which a first user corresponding to the own apparatus is interested. An execution unit, in a case where it is found by communication with the other information presentation apparatus which is detected as being in the predetermined range from the own apparatus by the detection unit that there is a common theme between a theme in which a second user corresponding to the other information presentation apparatus is interested and the first user's interest theme which is specified by the specification unit, executes a notification operation to notify that the first user and the second user are interested in the common theme to the first user and the second user.
