Posting Right Giving Device Region Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing community network systems face challenges in maintaining information quality due to easy access, which attracts users with little interest, and strict conditions that reduce membership and activity.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a processor to acquire and store region and community identification information, granting posting rights to users whose terminal devices are within designated regions, regardless of location, using a combination of region information acquisition, storage control, and positional information acquisition codes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If any user can easily join the community by reading the information code, then the number of members increases, but the quality of information posted decreases due to inclusion of users with little interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism between the information code and community joining. The server acts as a mediator that verifies both the information code authenticity and the user's positional information within the designated region before granting posting rights, thus preventing unauthorized or uninterested users from joining while maintaining easy access for legitimate users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the verification parameter from simple information code reading to a combination of information code verification plus positional information validation. By adding the spatial parameter (whether the terminal device is within the designated region), the system maintains ease of joining for legitimate users while filtering out uninterested users who cannot physically locate themselves within the region.
2Loss of information
If strict conditions are imposed for users to join the community, then the quality of members improves, but the number of members and information exchange activity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the user's own terminal device to perform self-verification of positional information. The terminal device automatically provides location data without requiring manual verification, and the server automatically validates this data against the designated region. This self-service approach maintains high member quality through automated verification while keeping the joining process simple and maintaining high activity levels.
3Ease of operation
If the information code is made easily accessible for community joining, then user access is simplified, but the code can be easily copied and spread to unauthorized users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the authorization process. Instead of relying solely on the information code (two-dimensional verification), the system incorporates positional information verification (adding a third dimension of spatial location). This multi-dimensional verification approach maintains ease of operation for legitimate users while significantly improving authorization control by requiring both code validity and correct positional location.

AI summary
A posting right giving device acquires region information indicating a region designated by an establisher requesting creation of a community. The posting right giving device stores the acquired region information and community identification information for identifying the community in association with each other in a storage. The posting right giving device acquires positional information indicating a position of a terminal device used by a user different from the establisher. The posting right giving device executes, when the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in the region indicated by the stored region information, processing for giving the user a right to post information to the community identified with the community identification information stored in association with the region information. The right to post information allows the user to post the information regardless of whether the terminal device is located within the region.
