Electronic Device POI Provision via Server Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack an efficient method to provide point of interest (POI) information based on location data, especially in scenarios involving payment transactions, where accurate and relevant POI information is needed but not readily available.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a processor, memory, and wireless communication circuitry that collects location data, establishes connections with external devices, and transmits payment-related information to acquire and provide POI information associated with payment transactions, using a server system to compare and match location data for precise POI identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If electronic devices collect and transmit location data and payment information to acquire POI information, then the accuracy and relevance of POI information is improved, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A server system acts as an intermediary between electronic devices and POI databases. The server receives location data and payment information from devices, performs the matching and query operations, and returns POI information. This mediator approach transfers the complexity from individual devices to a centralized server, resolving the contradiction between improved POI accuracy and reduced device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides the POI information provision process into separate functional modules: location data collection, payment information transmission, server-side data matching, and POI information delivery. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving overall system efficiency while managing complexity through modular architecture.
2Reliability
If the system compares location data between multiple devices to identify POI information, then the reliability of POI identification is improved, but the loss of time for data comparison increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing location data from multiple devices in advance, before POI identification is needed. Payment information and location data are pre-transmitted to the server and stored in databases, so that when POI identification is required, the comparison can be performed quickly against already-available data, reducing the time loss while maintaining high reliability through multi-device data correlation.
3Ease of operation
If electronic devices transmit payment-related information and location data through wireless communication circuits, then the ease of operation is improved, but the use of energy by the device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces traditional mechanical or manual payment methods with wireless communication-based electronic payment. Payment information is transmitted automatically through wireless communication circuits without requiring physical card insertion or manual data entry, significantly improving ease of operation. The energy consumption increase is acceptable as it replaces more energy-intensive manual operations and enables contactless convenience.
