Mobile Terminal Wireless ID Proximity Content Recommendation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current recommendation systems for mobile terminals cannot provide location-based information, as they rely on individual user data such as face recognition, failing to account for environment information like proximity to specific stores or facilities.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal and location information related content providing server system that uses wireless IDs to detect physical proximity to content-associated stores or facilities, transmitting this data to recommend relevant locations and track user interactions for market analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If recommendation systems use individual user data such as face recognition, then personalized recommendations can be provided, but location-based environment information cannot be utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple information sources including face recognition data, location information from wireless communication history, and environment data from location information related content providing servers. This merging allows the system to maintain personalized recommendations while simultaneously incorporating location-based environment information that was previously unavailable.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal is designed to perform multiple functions: it conducts face recognition for user identification, performs wireless communication to acquire location information, receives location information related content, and provides integrated recommendations. This multi-functionality enables the system to address both personalization and location-based information needs through a single device.
2Ease of operation
If pull-type content provision is used where users search for contents, then users see what they want to see, but precious contents are not provided to users
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the mobile terminal transmits user information (face recognition results, location data) to the location information related content providing server. The server processes this feedback and returns customized location information related content that matches user preferences while ensuring precious content is delivered, thus combining user autonomy with intelligent content delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively acquiring location information through wireless communication history and pre-fetching relevant location information related content from servers before users explicitly search for it. This ensures that when users do search, they receive comprehensive results including precious content they might not have discovered through manual searching alone.
3Loss of information
If wireless communication history is used to determine store contact, then location data can be collected for market analysis, but additional communication infrastructure is required
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication module serves dual purposes: it enables standard communication functions for connectivity and simultaneously collects location information by analyzing communication history with access points and base stations. This multi-functionality allows market data collection through existing communication infrastructure without requiring additional dedicated hardware or systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal autonomously analyzes its own wireless communication history to extract location information and store contact data. The device self-services by processing its communication logs to determine when and where it contacted stores or facilities, eliminating the need for external tracking infrastructure and reducing system complexity while still enabling market data collection.
Data Source
AI summary
A content is provided based on a questionnaire using a wireless communication. 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 that is within a predetermined range from the transmitted location information or location information identified by the transmitted wireless ID from the location information related content providing server 200, displays a link to the content on a screen, and detects that the user physically has contact with the content by a short-range wireless communication or location information acquisition including a scheme using the wireless ID.
