Management Server Active Relation Locking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems face difficulties in tracking the usage of mobile bodies, such as vehicles, without contracts or reservations, and struggle to manage multiple usage relations efficiently, leading to increased processing costs and complexity.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a management server and terminals that establish and manage correlative relations between first and second objects, allowing for the activation and deactivation of these relations based on status information, enabling efficient tracking and simplifying the management of usage relations by locking active relations until predetermined conditions are met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple correlative relations are established for the same first object, then the system can track multiple usage relations, but the management complexity and processing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the correlative relation settings changeable between active and non-active states. The management server dynamically adjusts the status of correlative relations based on usage conditions, allowing flexible tracking of multiple usage relations without permanent complex configurations. This enables the system to adapt to different usage scenarios while simplifying management through state transitions rather than structural complexity.
2Measurement precision
If correlative relation settings are repeatedly set and terminated for usage generation and dissolution, then usage relations can be tracked accurately, but processing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing multiple correlative relation settings in advance, including settings for both active and non-active states. Instead of creating and terminating relations dynamically with each usage event, the system prepares multiple relation configurations beforehand and simply activates or deactivates them based on usage conditions. This reduces processing costs by avoiding repeated creation and termination operations while maintaining accurate usage relation tracking.
3Ease of operation
If the system manages usage relations without contracts or reservations, then accessibility is improved, but tracking difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the management server to automatically manage correlative relation settings based on usage information without requiring manual contract or reservation management. The system autonomously establishes, activates, and deactivates correlative relations according to detected usage patterns, making the service accessible without traditional contracts while maintaining accurate tracking through automated detection and measurement of usage conditions.

AI summary
A system includes a management server, a plurality of first terminals corresponding to respective first objects, and a plurality of second terminals corresponding to respective second objects. The management server is configured to accept setting of correlative relations between the first objects and the second objects, by receiving association requests in accordance with usage relations being generated between the first objects and the second objects. The management server is configured such that, when, in accordance with accepting the setting of the correlative relation by two or more of the association requests being accepted with respect to a same first object, two or more correlative relations are established by two or more different second objects with respect to the same first object, the setting of one correlative relation is set to active, and the settings of other correlative relations are set to non-active, in accordance with status information.
