Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for social communication information management lack effective memory structure and management mechanisms for handling large amounts of communication data, leading to inadequate memory management and lack of appropriate memory management for communication information.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and system that collects, extracts, and manages life log information from user communication data, storing it in a searchable format with associated scores to determine its contribution to new social communication generation, and provides guidance or advertising information based on user preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If communication information is collected and stored in large amounts, then the quantity of available data for social communication generation increases, but the complexity of memory management and information organization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of communication informationVSAvoidcomplexity of memory management
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments communication information into distinct categories including life log information, preference information, and social communication information. Each category is stored in dedicated storage units with specific management rules, transforming the undifferentiated mass of communication data into organized, manageable segments that can be processed independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an information management server as an intermediary between communication terminals and users. This server consolidates the storage and management of large amounts of communication information from multiple users, providing centralized organization and retrieval capabilities that would be difficult to implement in distributed terminal devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If communication information is stored without structured management, then storage capacity is maximized, but the ability to retrieve and utilize relevant information decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacity utilizationVSAvoidloss of useful information
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different storage characteristics and management approaches to different types of information. Life log information receives frequent updates and high-priority storage, preference information is maintained with historical continuity, and social communication information is organized for rapid retrieval. This differentiated approach ensures that each information type is stored with the appropriate quality and accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary classification and organization of communication information as it is collected, rather than attempting to organize it afterward. Information is categorized into life log, preference, and social communication types during the collection phase, with metadata and indexing applied in advance, enabling efficient retrieval without requiring complex post-processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing device assists generation of social communication, based on user communication information exchanged through a network. The information processing device includes: a communication information collection unit that collects the communication information; a life log information extraction unit that extracts life log information included in the collected communication information; a life log information storage unit that stores the extracted life log information in a configuration capable of being searched at least on an individual user unit basis, the life log information storage unit memorizing scores of a plurality of indexes while associating the scores with the life log information, the indexes indicating degrees of contribution of the life log information to new social communication generation; and a life log information management unit that manages the life log information stored in the life log information storage unit, based on a combination of the scores of the indexes.
