Solution Overview

Problem

It is difficult for individuals to visualize the space requirements in a residence or facility based on their future possessions due to changes in life stages and possessions over time.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that utilizes a processor to obtain attribute and possession information, compare it with standard space information, and generate future information indicating the space required by combining images of possessions with facility images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If standard space information is provided without personalization, then information provision is simple and quick, but the information does not reflect individual future space requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of space requirement informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of future space requirements by combining standard space information with projected possession changes based on life stage transitions. This preliminary action allows the system to pre-compute and store personalized space requirement data, reducing the need for complex real-time calculations when providing information to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing is segmented into multiple components: standard space information database, possession change projection module, life stage transition model, and personalized information generation module. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high accuracy in final space requirement predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If detailed possession information is collected and processed, then future space requirements can be accurately predicted, but information processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of future space projectionVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of future space requirements by combining standard space information with projected possession changes based on life stage transitions. This preliminary action allows the system to pre-compute and store personalized space requirement data, reducing the need for complex real-time calculations when providing information to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters from detailed individual possession data to aggregated statistical models of possession changes by life stage. Instead of processing each individual possession item in detail, the system uses parameter changes based on typical possession accumulation patterns for different life stages, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If standard space information is used without correction, then information provision is straightforward, but it does not account for actual possession amounts and future changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of space informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information correction process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses universal life stage transition models and possession change patterns that apply across different individuals. These universal models serve multiple functions: predicting future possessions, calculating space requirements, and generating personalized recommendations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for complex individualized analysis while maintaining personalization through life stage-based adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters from fixed standard space information to dynamic corrected space requirements by applying life stage-based adjustment factors. These parameter changes allow the system to adapt standard information to individual circumstances without requiring complex customization for each user, achieving personalization through systematic parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An information processing method includes: obtaining attribute information and possession information, the attribute information including ages of one or more users at a reference point in time, the possession information indicating possessions owned by the one or more users at the reference point in time; obtaining amount information indicating an amount of the possessions owned by the one or more users, by referring to standard information indicating standard spaces determined in advance for ages of people and occupied by standard possessions owned by the people and by comparing standard spaces for the one or more users obtained from the attribute information and the standard information to spaces occupied by the possessions indicated by the possession information; and obtaining future information indicating possessions to be owned by the one or more users in future by correcting the standard information using the amount information obtained, and providing the future information.
