Solution Overview

Problem

In scenarios where calls are made between physically separated locations, the receiver is often disturbed by call notifications regardless of their state, leading to potential disruptions in work.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that detects the receiver's state and degree of concentration, only notifying them of a call request when their concentration has decreased to a predetermined level, thereby minimizing disturbances.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the receiver is notified of the call request regardless of their state, then the call can be connected quickly, but the receiver's work may be disturbed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecall connection speedVSAvoidwork disturbance
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of the receiver's state (concentration level, presence) before initiating call notification. The server acquires detection results in advance and determines whether the receiver is in a suitable state for notification, thereby avoiding disturbance while maintaining efficient call connection when appropriate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the receiver's state detection is performed continuously, then the call notification timing can be optimized, but the system complexity and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecall notification timing optimizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous monitoring, the system implements periodic detection of the receiver's state. The server acquires detection results at specific intervals or triggered by specific events (such as when a call request is received), which reduces system complexity and energy consumption while still enabling optimized call notification timing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to perform a process including acquiring a detection result of a state of a receiver who receives a call request at a receiver side terminal or a measurement result of a degree of concentration of the receiver measured from the detection result in a case where the call request is accepted from a caller side terminal, and notifying the receiver side terminal of the call request in a case where the degree of concentration measured from the acquired detection result or the degree of concentration that is the measurement result is decreased to a predetermined degree of concentration.
