Information Processing Device Move Locus Differentiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices fail to effectively distinguish and display user move loci due to daily versus non-daily behaviors, such as exercise activities, on a map, lacking the capability to differentiate and prioritize these activities based on their nature and frequency.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device equipped with a processor and storage unit that acquires move locus information and displays it on a map, differentiating between daily and non-daily behaviors by varying the display aspect, such as line type, color, and frequency, using GPS and sensor data to set positioning intervals and activity-specific settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If move locus information is displayed without differentiation, then the display is simple, but the ability to distinguish between daily and non-daily behaviors is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display characteristics of move locus information based on behavior type. Daily behaviors are displayed with one visual style while non-daily behaviors are displayed with another visual style, allowing the same type of information (move locus) to have different local qualities (display characteristics) according to its category.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses color changes as a specific implementation of visual differentiation. By assigning different colors or line styles to represent different behavior types, the system preserves behavior type information in the display without requiring complex additional interfaces or processing steps.
2Loss of information
If all move locus information is displayed equally, then the display process is simple, but recent and frequent activities cannot be prioritized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by varying display parameters (such as line thickness, color intensity, or prominence) based on activity frequency and recency. This allows the system to prioritize recent and frequent activities in the display without fundamentally changing the display architecture or adding complex processing layers.
3Ease of operation
If move locus information is acquired and displayed without differentiation, then the system is simple, but user experience for activity-specific visualization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing move locus information into distinct categories (daily vs. non-daily behaviors) and processing each category with appropriate display characteristics. This segmentation enables activity-specific visualization that enhances user experience while keeping the overall system structure relatively simple.

AI summary
A portable terminal 1 includes an information acquisition unit 55, an output control unit 56 and an output unit 20. The information acquisition unit 55 acquires move locus information on a move due to daily behavior of a user and a move due to non-daily behavior. The output control unit 56 controls an output unit 20 such that the output unit 20 outputs the acquired move locus information in a state where it is possible to distinguish the move due to non-daily behavior of the user.
