Matching Server Compensation Range for Fair Supporter Pricing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing matching systems fail to accurately determine a fair compensation range for supporters providing support work, leading to potential mismatches in the quality and cost of services offered.
Innovation Solution
A matching server calculates a compensation range based on the quality and experience of supporters, using a determination unit to assess a rate representing the quality of support work, and notifies supporters of this range through a terminal device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If compensation is set freely by supporters without a calculated range, then supporters have flexibility in setting compensation, but the compensation may become excessive or inappropriate
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of compensation from an unrestricted value to a calculated range based on multiple factors including supporter quality, user budget, and market conditions. This transforms the compensation setting from a single-degree-of-freedom problem to a multi-parameter optimization problem, resolving the contradiction between flexibility and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The matching server acts as an intermediary between supporters and users, calculating and notifying the compensation range. This intermediary function prevents direct arbitrary setting by supporters while maintaining flexibility within the calculated bounds, resolving the contradiction by introducing a mediating computational layer.
2Measurement precision
If the matching system calculates compensation range based on supporter quality, then appropriate compensation can be determined, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The compensation calculation system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a determination unit that assesses supporter quality, a calculation unit that computes the compensation range, and a notification unit that communicates results. This segmentation reduces system complexity by creating manageable, independent components with clear interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The matching server automatically calculates and notifies compensation ranges without requiring manual intervention or complex external systems. The system serves itself by integrating all necessary functions within the matching server, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining accurate compensation determination.

AI summary
A matching server includes a processor configured to: in matching a user who requests support work and a supporter who provides the support work to the user to receive compensation from the user, calculate a setting range of the compensation that the supporter is able to set; and notify the supporter of the setting range.
