Innovation Solution

A user behavior evaluation device that includes an environmental impact calculation portion, a coefficient derivation portion, and a behavior evaluation portion to calculate a sustainable score based on user-specific factors like location, traffic conditions, communication plan, electricity usage, and purchase history.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a standardized CO2 emission calculation method is used, then the calculation process is simple, but the evaluation does not reflect individual user circumstances

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalculation simplicityVSAvoiduser-specific evaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing user-specific coefficients (α, β, γ) that customize the evaluation for each user based on their circumstances such as place of residence, family structure, and behavior patterns. This allows the standardized calculation framework to be adapted locally to each user's situation, resolving the contradiction between calculation simplicity and user-specific evaluation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the evaluation coefficients variable rather than fixed. The coefficients α, β, and γ can be dynamically adjusted based on user attributes and behavior data, allowing the system to adapt to changing user circumstances while maintaining a structured calculation approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If user-specific coefficients are introduced, then the evaluation accuracy improves, but the calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes by introducing adjustable coefficients (α, β, γ) that modify the base CO2 emission calculation. These parameters can be changed based on user attributes without fundamentally altering the calculation structure, thereby improving evaluation accuracy while controlling system complexity through a modular approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple user attributes are considered, then the evaluation becomes more personalized, but the data processing requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization levelVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential user attributes needed for coefficient determination (place of residence, family structure, and representative behavior patterns) rather than processing all possible user data. This selective extraction approach enables personalization while controlling data processing requirements by focusing on the most impactful factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
