Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies for reproducing contents like images and voices on mobile terminals do not effectively provide associated content in real-time with guidance voice emissions, particularly at transportation sites, making it difficult for hard-of-hearing individuals and foreigners to understand important information.

Innovation Solution

An information provision system that includes provision instruction means for generating a provision instruction to provide content associated with guidance voices and information distribution means for transmitting this content to registered mobile terminals, allowing for real-time reproduction of images or text translations with guidance voice emissions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If contents are distributed to mobile terminals in advance as targets of distribution, then the system can provide pre-configured content, but the content cannot be provided in real-time responsive to actual guidance voice emissions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent provision reliabilityVSAvoidresponse time to guidance voice emission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering mobile terminals as distribution targets and pre-configuring content associations with guidance voices. The management device stores the correspondence between guidance voices and mobile terminals in advance, enabling rapid real-time distribution without delayed processing when guidance voices are actually emitted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If guidance voices are emitted to provide information to all users, then general information delivery is achieved, but hard-of-hearing individuals and foreigners cannot understand the content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery efficiencyVSAvoidaccessibility to diverse user groups
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing customized content to specific mobile terminals based on individual user needs. Different terminals receive different types of content (e.g., text for hard-of-hearing users, translated content for foreigners) while the guidance voice system continues to emit standard voices for general users, creating localized quality adjustments for specific user groups without disrupting the overall system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An information provision system includes provision instruction means for generating a provision instruction to provide a content associated with a guidance voice every emission of the guidance voice, and information distribution means for transmitting distribution information for reproducing the content related to the provision instruction, to a mobile terminal registered as a target of provision of the content associated with the guidance voice.
