Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminal recommendation systems cannot provide location-based content recommendations as they primarily rely on individual user information, such as face features, and are unable to incorporate environment or location information.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal system that connects to a location information related content providing server, acquires a wireless ID or base station ID, and uses this information to identify the user's location, retrieve relevant content, and display it as a panel on the screen, adjusting panel size and position based on proximity and orientation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If recommendation is performed based on individual information such as face features, then user identification accuracy is improved, but location-based content provision capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identification accuracyVSAvoidlocation-based content provision capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges individual user identification (via face features) with location information (via wireless ID) into a unified recommendation system. The recommendation server receives both the user's face feature quantity and wireless ID, then performs recommendation based on combined information, enabling both accurate user identification and location-aware content provision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation server is designed to handle multiple types of information (face features, wireless ID, location data) and perform multiple functions: user identification, location determination, and content recommendation. This multi-functional approach allows the system to address both user-specific and location-based requirements simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If pull-type content provision is used, then user autonomy is improved, but precious contents are not provided to users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser autonomyVSAvoidprecious contents not provided
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from user attributes (face features) and environmental information (wireless ID, location) to automatically generate personalized content recommendations. The recommendation server continuously receives feedback about the user and their environment, then proactively provides relevant content without requiring explicit user requests, thus preventing loss of valuable content opportunities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If recommendation system uses user attributes without pre-registration, then system complexity is reduced, but location information integration capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidlocation information integration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless ID serves as an intermediary element that bridges user identification and location information. Instead of requiring complex pre-registration systems, the wireless ID (obtained from wireless communication) acts as a mediator that naturally links the user's current location with their profile information, enabling location integration without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A content based on location information is provided to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal 10 communicatively connected to a location information related content providing server 200 performs a wireless communication or a short-range wireless communication, acquires a wireless ID of a counterpart terminal used for the wireless communication or the short-range wireless communication, and transmits the acquired wireless ID or location information acquired from the wireless ID to the location information related content providing server 200. The mobile terminal 10 receives a content associated with the transmitted location information or location information identified by the transmitted wireless ID from the location information related content providing server 200, and displays a link to the content as a panel on a screen.
