Solution Overview

Problem

Current internet and location-based information systems are inefficient for immediate and cost-effective information exchange and application services, particularly for unskilled users like small business owners and housewives, due to indirect connections, high setup costs, and lack of integration with existing communication networks, leading to unproductive information retrieval and poor user-friendliness.

Innovation Solution

A location and relationship-based information exchange and application service system that establishes direct links between landmark clients and users through landmark client accounts, using location and navigation data to dynamically correlate information with user interests, allowing for efficient posting and access of relevant information without relying on IP or hypertext webpages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If internet protocol and website based information sharing systems are used, then information sharing capability is improved, but connection efficiency and immediacy deteriorate due to indirect connection between service user and information subject

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation sharing capabilityVSAvoidconnection efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a location-based service system as an intermediary layer between users and information subjects. Instead of direct IP-based connections or indirect website-based access, the system uses location data and relationship-based service frameworks to mediate information exchange, enabling more direct and efficient connections while maintaining information sharing capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical website-based information access system with a location-based service system. Instead of relying on hypertext webpages, search engines, and direct IP connections, the system uses location data, relationship frameworks, and service-based architectures to enable more efficient information retrieval and exchange

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional website establishment is used, then information posting capability is improved, but setup cost and technical complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation posting capabilityVSAvoidsetup cost and technical complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables users to post and manage information through location-based service mechanisms without requiring traditional website setup. Users can create information posts through simple location-based service registrations and configurations, eliminating the need for complex website development, hosting, and maintenance while maintaining information posting and sharing capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential information posting and sharing functionality from the complex website framework. By separating the core information exchange capability from the cumbersome website infrastructure (hypertext, search engines, hosting), the system enables simple location-based information posting while eliminating unnecessary technical complexity and setup costs

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If location based information services are used, then information relevance to user location is improved, but integration with existing communication networks and user-friendliness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation relevanceVSAvoiduser-friendliness and network integration

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal location-based service system that integrates with existing communication networks and platforms. The system provides multiple functions including information posting, retrieval, relationship management, and network integration through a unified location-based framework, making it accessible and user-friendly across different devices and networks while maintaining high information relevance to user locations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An information system that provides information exchange and application services based on the location and relationships between a landmark client and a service user client. The information service system first builds up direct referral link between a landmark client account and a declared landmark location. The landmark account stores information and applications associated to the landmark client. A service user connects to the information service system via a user client account that stores information and applications associated to the user client. The information service system determines a relationship between the landmark client and the user client using the location and navigation data of the clients as well as their identity and configuration information. The service next builds up information exchange and system control connections between the landmark client and the service user client according to their specified information access and usage rules under prescribed relationship situations.
