Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional user-centric approaches for route generation do not adequately motivate users to take personalized routes that improve well-being, lacking incentives to attract and retain users, and fail to promote healthier lifestyles.

Innovation Solution

The system integrates incentives into personalized route planning by using cloud-based servers that analyze user data from social media, travel history, and preferences to generate routes that incorporate well-being profiles, offering personalized incentives to enhance user experience and promote healthier choices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional user-centric approaches for route generation are used, then route personalization is provided, but user motivation and engagement are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute personalizationVSAvoiduser motivation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by providing users with personalized incentives and recommendations based on their well-being profile data. The route generation system continuously adapts to user responses and engagement patterns, creating a closed-loop system that enhances motivation through personalized feedback about their well-being improvements and incentive earnings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including route characteristics, incentive types, and personalization factors based on user well-being profiles. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to user data from social media, travel history, and preferences, the system optimizes both route personalization and user motivation levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalized routes are generated without incentives, then well-being improvement is intended, but user attraction and retention are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewell-being improvementVSAvoiduser retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges well-being improvement objectives with commercial incentive mechanisms by integrating route generation with incentive delivery. Personalized incentives are combined with well-being focused route recommendations, creating a unified system that simultaneously achieves health promotion and user retention through the attractive combination of personalization and rewards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Incentives serve as intermediaries that mediate between the system's well-being improvement goals and user engagement objectives. The incentive mechanism translates well-being route recommendations into tangible user benefits, thereby ensuring user attraction and retention while maintaining the primary focus on improving user well-being through personalized routing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If multiple data sources are integrated for well-being profiles, then personalization accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex task of personalization into distinct modules: data collection from multiple sources, well-being profile generation, route generation, and incentive delivery. Each module handles specific data types and functions independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high personalization accuracy through specialized processing in each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The well-being profile serves as a universal data structure that integrates information from diverse sources including social media, travel history, and user preferences. This multi-functional profile consolidates various data types into a unified format that can be used across different personalization scenarios, thereby improving accuracy without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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

AI summary

A method includes building a well-being profile for a given user based on data obtained from one or more sources associated with the given user. One or more personalized incentives for the given user are identified based on the well-being profile. A personalized route is generated based on the one or more identified personalized incentives, with the personalized route being designed to improve a well-being of the given user. A notification is transmitted to a given client device associated with the given user over a network, with the notification causing the given client device to display the personalized route.
