Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience and inefficiency in downloading and pairing seat-libraries for glow-in-the-dark cheering sticks due to time constraints, complexity, and increased data storage needs, leading to potential malfunctions during performances.

Innovation Solution

A pedestal-mounted terminal provides a seat-library pairing service using short-distance wireless communication, enabling simultaneous orchestration of multiple cheering sticks through a seat-library pairing system, which includes a kiosk, cheering sticks, and account authentication devices, allowing for intuitive user experience and reduced error.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users download seat-library in advance manually, then pairing service is provided, but user convenience deteriorates and pairing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing service provisionVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the cheering stick and completes seat-library pairing without requiring manual user intervention. The terminal autonomously performs the pairing process by detecting the cheering stick's identification information and automatically downloading the corresponding seat-library, eliminating the need for users to manually search, download, and pair libraries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The seat-library is prepared and stored on the terminal in advance before the performance. The system pre-configures multiple seat-libraries corresponding to different seats and automatically selects and transfers the appropriate library when a cheering stick is detected, eliminating the need for real-time manual downloading during the event.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users download multiple seat-libraries for different performances, then pairing service is provided, but data storage capacity is exceeded and malfunction risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing service provisionVSAvoiddata storage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of storing multiple complete seat-libraries locally on the cheering stick, the system stores only the necessary identification information and corresponding seat-library indices on the cheering stick. The actual seat-library data is stored on the terminal and transferred only when needed, reducing the data storage burden on the cheering stick while maintaining the ability to provide pairing service for multiple performances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If pre-pairing step is required, then pairing service is provided, but pairing time increases and user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing service provisionVSAvoidpairing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary preparation by storing multiple seat-libraries and their corresponding identification information on the terminal before the performance. When a cheering stick is brought to the terminal, the pairing is achieved through automatic detection and rapid data transfer, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual pre-pairing steps and reducing the overall pairing time to a minimum.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If manual manipulation of cheering stick is required, then pairing service is provided, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing service provisionVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal system automatically detects the cheering stick's presence and retrieves its identification information without requiring manual manipulation. The system autonomously completes the entire pairing process including detecting the cheering stick, searching for matching seat-library, and transferring data, making the operation as simple as bringing the cheering stick near the terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
