Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information presentation systems lack the ability to efficiently and accurately provide personalized route guidance to multiple individuals with different destinations in a shared environment, often resulting in confusion and inefficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information presentation system comprising a detector and display unit that identifies and distinguishes between multiple target individuals using identification information transmitted via wireless tags or portable terminals, allowing for customized route guidance and target information display, with adaptive display modes based on distance and user profiles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single display shows information for multiple target persons, then the display can provide information to several people simultaneously, but the information becomes mixed and difficult to distinguish between different persons

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery efficiencyVSAvoidinformation distinguishability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The display is segmented into multiple independent display regions, with each region dedicated to displaying information for a specific target person. This segmentation allows simultaneous information delivery to multiple persons while maintaining clear distinction between different persons' information through spatial separation on the display screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system detects multiple target persons, then personalized information can be provided to each, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoiddetection and management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The information presentation apparatus is designed with multi-functionality to handle multiple target persons simultaneously. The detector can identify different persons, the information manager can retrieve and manage personalized information for each person, and the display can present information to multiple persons at once, making the system adaptable to various scenarios without requiring separate systems for each person.

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

3Reliability

If display information is customized for each target person, then information relevance increases, but the display management becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation relevanceVSAvoiddisplay management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The information manager retrieves and prepares personalized information for each target person in advance, organizing it by person identifier. This preliminary organization of information allows the display to efficiently present customized information to each person without complex real-time management, as the information is already structured and ready for delivery to specific individuals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information presentation apparatus includes a detector and a display. The detector detects a predetermined target person to whom information is to be presented. When plural target persons to whom pieces of different information are to be presented, respectively are detected by the detector, the display displays target information that indicates each of the target persons and presentation information that corresponds to each of the target persons.
