Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack the ability to effectively determine and transmit superior processing actions for information specific to a current location, particularly in industrial processes and gaming contexts, where previous interactions are not optimally evaluated or utilized.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that store information specific to a current location, perform processing actions, and determine their superiority using a metric, with transmission dependent on these determinations, allowing for improved industrial process control and competitive gaming experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If processing actions are performed on location-specific information by mobile devices, then processing capability and service optimization are improved, but the ability to evaluate and transmit superior processing results is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing capabilityVSAvoidsuperior processing evaluation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where processing results are evaluated against a metric and superior results are transmitted back to update the location-specific information. This creates a closed-loop system where mobile devices can improve their processing capabilities over time by learning from evaluated superior results, resolving the contradiction between having processing capability and being able to evaluate/improve it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables mobile devices to autonomously evaluate their own processing actions against stored metrics and automatically transmit superior results without requiring constant centralized control. This self-service approach allows devices to independently improve their processing while contributing to the collective knowledge base, addressing both productivity improvement and information preservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If location-specific information is stored and processed locally, then service optimization for specific locations is improved, but the system lacks mechanisms to evaluate and propagate superior processing actions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice optimizationVSAvoidevaluation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-stores metrics and evaluation criteria in the database associated with location-specific information. This preliminary preparation allows mobile devices to immediately evaluate their processing actions against established standards without requiring complex real-time evaluation mechanisms, thus improving service optimization while keeping device complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses a database as an intermediary between mobile devices and the evaluation mechanism. Rather than requiring complex evaluation logic in each device, the database stores metrics and facilitates the evaluation process, simplifying device complexity while enabling sophisticated service optimization through location-specific information processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
