Meeting-Aware Arrival Notifications for Parking Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users participating in electronic meetings while aboard mobile bodies face burdens due to the need to secure a place for the mobile body after movement completion, especially when the meeting extends beyond the travel time.
Innovation Solution
A notification device that acquires a destination and estimated arrival time, determines if a user is participating in an electronic meeting during movement, and controls notifications based on a comparison of the meeting's scheduled end time with the arrival time, guiding the user to available parking spots with good communication quality to continue the meeting after arrival.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user boards a mobile body to participate in an electronic meeting during movement, then the user can conduct the meeting while traveling, but the user needs to remain in the mobile body after movement completion which poses a burden
Solution Approach 1:
The notification device performs preliminary actions by acquiring parking area information and notification destination information before the mobile body completes its movement. It proactively determines appropriate parking areas and prepares notification content, so that when the mobile body arrives, the user is immediately informed of where to park and where to continue the meeting, eliminating the need for the user to spend time searching for parking or arranging meeting continuation.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification device acts as an intermediary between the mobile body's movement status and the user's meeting participation needs. It receives movement completion information, processes it by comparing with meeting duration, and generates notifications that bridge the gap between transportation and meeting continuation, coordinating parking and meeting resumption without requiring direct user intervention.
2Duration of action of moving object
If the mobile body arrives at destination before the electronic meeting ends, then the meeting can be continued, but the user needs to secure a place to store the mobile body
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of suitable parking areas within the notification area before the mobile body arrives. By advance identification of parking locations and preparation of notification content, the user receives ready-to-use information about where to park the mobile body and where to continue the meeting, eliminating the operational burden of finding storage after arrival.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification device automatically performs the task of finding and evaluating parking areas by checking communication environment information and comparing it with meeting duration requirements. This self-service function eliminates the need for the user to manually search for suitable parking locations, as the system autonomously identifies areas with good communication quality that can support meeting continuation.
3Reliability
If the user continues the meeting after mobile body movement, then the meeting can be completed without interruption, but the user must find a location with good communication quality
Solution Approach 1:
The notification device performs preliminary evaluation of parking areas by acquiring communication environment information in advance and comparing it with the meeting duration requirement. It identifies suitable parking areas before the mobile body arrives, so the user is notified of locations that are guaranteed to have sufficient communication quality for meeting continuation, eliminating the difficulty of finding suitable locations after arrival.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from communication environment information to determine whether a parking area is suitable for meeting continuation. By continuously monitoring communication quality data and comparing it against the meeting duration requirement, the notification device provides feedback-based recommendations for parking locations that ensure meeting continuity, transforming the difficult search process into an automated evaluation and notification system.

AI summary
A notification device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a destination to which a mobile body moves and an estimated arrival time of the mobile body arriving at the destination; a meeting determination unit that determines whether or not a user boarding the mobile body participates in an electronic meeting during movement of the mobile body; and a notification control unit that compares, when the user participates in the electronic meeting during movement of the mobile body, a scheduled end time of the electronic meeting with the estimated arrival time, and controls the notification unit to execute notification based on a comparison result.
