Solution Overview

Problem

Existing kiosk management systems for cheering stick pairing services in concert halls lack centralized control, leading to inefficiencies in updating performance-related information, manual operation, and lack of real-time monitoring, which hampers timely response to issues and data collection.

Innovation Solution

A kiosk setting method and system with a central management device that integrates control of multiple kiosks, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection, and allows for efficient distribution of performance information and pairing services across kiosks, even in poor network environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a central management device is implemented to control multiple kiosks, then operational efficiency and real-time monitoring are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides kiosk management into two segments: a central management device that handles configuration and monitoring, and multiple kiosks that execute local operations. This segmentation allows centralized control to improve operational efficiency while keeping individual kiosk complexity low.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The central management device acts as an intermediary between the performance information source and the multiple kiosks. It receives performance information, processes it, and distributes it to relevant kiosks, thereby improving overall system efficiency without requiring direct complex interactions between all components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If performance information is updated manually in each kiosk, then system simplicity is maintained, but time consumption and human effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidupdate time
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The central management device performs preliminary action by pre-processing and preparing performance information before distribution. When performance information changes, the central device automatically updates all connected kiosks simultaneously, eliminating the need for manual updates at each kiosk and significantly reducing update time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If multiple kiosks operate independently without central control, then system simplicity is maintained, but real-time monitoring capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol structureVSAvoidoperation status information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The central management device establishes a feedback mechanism that collects operation status information from all connected kiosks in real-time. This feedback loop enables the central device to monitor kiosk performance, detect issues, and maintain system-wide awareness without requiring complex hierarchical control structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Device complexity

If pairing information is collected manually from each kiosk, then system simplicity is maintained, but data collection efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection structureVSAvoiddata collection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The central management device merges data collection functions by consolidating pairing information from all kiosks into a single centralized location. Instead of manually collecting data from each kiosk separately, the central device automatically aggregates this information, significantly improving data collection efficiency while maintaining simple kiosk operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
