Solution Overview

Problem

Existing shared vehicle systems do not adequately address individual user preferences and fail to provide effective disease prevention, leading to reduced satisfaction and increased avoidance of mobility sharing services due to infectious disease concerns.

Innovation Solution

A mobility sharing service system that utilizes disinfection information to predict infection risk based on environmental and personal factors, determining service provision, mobility reuse, and disinfection processes to prevent disease spread.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If mobility sharing service is provided without disinfection information, then service availability and convenience are improved, but infection risk and user safety deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice availabilityVSAvoidinfection risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a disinfection management server as an intermediary between the mobility sharing system and users. This server collects, manages, and provides disinfection information to the mobility sharing management server, which then uses this information to make service provision decisions. The intermediary structure enables the system to balance service availability with infection risk by mediating through standardized disinfection data collection and evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where disinfection information is continuously collected from disinfection management servers, processed to calculate predicted infection degrees, and used to dynamically adjust service provision decisions. The feedback loop includes collecting disinfection status, evaluating against thresholds, making service decisions, and repeating the process, enabling real-time adaptation to changing infection risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If disinfection information is collected and predicted infection degree is calculated, then user safety is improved, but system complexity and processing requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex disinfection management system into distinct functional modules: a mobility sharing management server that handles service provision decisions, a disinfection management server that collects and manages disinfection information, and various client terminals. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive safety functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service mechanisms where the mobility sharing management server automatically receives disinfection information, calculates predicted infection degrees using predefined algorithms, and makes service provision decisions without requiring manual intervention. The automated processing reduces complexity by eliminating manual evaluation steps while maintaining high reliability through consistent algorithmic decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If mobility is reshared without checking predicted infection degree, then service efficiency and productivity are improved, but disease spread risk worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice efficiencyVSAvoiddisease spread risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by requiring predicted infection degree calculations to be performed before mobility resharing decisions are made. The system proactively collects disinfection information, evaluates infection risks, and determines service eligibility in advance, preventing potential disease spread before it can occur. This preliminary evaluation ensures that high-risk mobilities are identified and isolated before they can transmit infections to new users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter changes by establishing threshold values for predicted infection degrees that automatically trigger different service provision outcomes. When the calculated predicted infection degree exceeds predefined thresholds, the system automatically adjusts service availability parameters, preventing resharing of high-risk mobilities. This parameter-based control enables efficient automated decision-making while maintaining disease prevention standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An embodiment method of providing a mobility sharing service based on disinfection information includes receiving, at a mobility sharing management server, a mobility sharing service request from a user terminal, requesting, by the mobility sharing management server, disinfection information from a disinfection management server based on location information of the user terminal, receiving, by the mobility sharing management server, the disinfection information from the disinfection management server and calculating a predicted infection degree based on the disinfection information, and determining whether to provide the mobility sharing service to a user corresponding to the user terminal based on the predicted infection degree.
