Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional approaches to analyzing product usage data for personal mobility devices often fail to provide accurate insights into user interests and preferences, leading to inefficient marketing strategies and resource wastage, as they do not account for users' overall activities and how they affect product usage patterns.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that tracks user activities and compares them with personal mobility device usage data to generate recommendations for promoting device usage, thereby optimizing product engagement without additional advertisements or research efforts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional product usage data analysis is used, then product usage statistics can be obtained, but accurate insights into user interests and preferences cannot be provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of user insightsVSAvoiduser activity context
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple data sources including product usage data, user activity data from mobile devices, and contextual information into a unified analytics system. This integration merges previously separate data streams to create comprehensive user profiles and accurate usage patterns, resolving the contradiction between obtaining usage statistics and gaining accurate user insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary analytics platform that processes and correlates raw usage data with external activity data. This intermediary system acts as a mediator between data collection and insight generation, transforming incomplete usage statistics into accurate user preference insights by incorporating additional contextual information from user activities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional marketing strategies are employed, then product promotion can be attempted, but resource wastage occurs due to lack of accurate user insights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarketing efficiencyVSAvoidmarketing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback-driven marketing system where analytics insights from combined usage and activity data continuously inform and adjust marketing strategies. This feedback loop ensures marketing resources are allocated based on actual user behavior patterns rather than assumptions, improving productivity while reducing waste through data-driven decision making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of marketing strategies by transitioning from generic promotional approaches to highly targeted campaigns based on analyzed user patterns. By adjusting marketing parameters (timing, channel, message) based on insights from usage and activity data correlation, the system achieves higher efficiency with reduced resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If product usage data is collected without activity tracking, then data collection is simple, but satisfactory insights for R&D and marketing cannot be generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of user dataVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs universal data collection mechanisms that serve multiple functions: collecting usage data, activity data, and contextual information through integrated mobile device components. This multi-functional approach captures comprehensive user information without requiring separate specialized systems for each data type, managing complexity while maximizing data completeness.

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

AI summary

An electronic device and a method for generating personal mobility device-usage recommendations based on user activity tracking is provided. The electronic device monitors a first set of activities associated with a user. The electronic device determines first information indicating a first time period associated with the monitored first set of activities. The electronic device receives second information indicating a second time period associated with a usage of a personal mobility device to perform a second set of activities. The electronic device compares the determined first information with the received second information. The first set of activities are associated with the second set of activities. The electronic device further generates recommendations associated with the usage of the personal mobility device by the user, based on the comparison of the determined first information with the received second information. The electronic device controls a display device to display the generated recommendations.
