Solution Overview

Problem

There is no mechanism for evaluating the value of recycled battery members in transactions, which are often less valuable than new ones, making it difficult to fulfill legal obligations and properly manage their transactions.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that manages battery member transactions by receiving registration information, calculating an appraised value based on the recycled battery's rights and material value, and matching businesses for transactions, considering the added credit and legal obligations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If recycled battery members are used in transactions, then cost reduction is achieved, but proper valuation and transaction management become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery costVSAvoidvalue appraisal
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an information processing device as an intermediary that automatically calculates and determines the value of recycled battery members. This mediator receives transaction information, applies valuation algorithms considering legal obligations and market conditions, and outputs standardized value assessments, thereby solving the measurement precision problem while enabling cost-effective recycled battery transactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts valuation parameters based on multiple factors including legal obligation requirements, market prices of raw materials, and specific battery member characteristics. By changing these parameters adaptively, the system achieves accurate valuation of recycled battery members, resolving the contradiction between cost reduction and valuation precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If recycled battery members are valued lower than new ones, then transaction efficiency improves, but compliance with legal obligations becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction efficiencyVSAvoidlegal compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The information processing device incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor legal obligation requirements and adjust valuation outcomes accordingly. The system receives feedback on compliance requirements, processes them through the valuation algorithm, and produces adjusted value assessments that ensure legal compliance while maintaining transaction efficiency through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual valuation methods are used for recycled battery members, then flexibility is maintained, but transaction processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation flexibilityVSAvoidtransaction processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical valuation processes with an automated information processing system that uses algorithms and data processing to determine battery member values. This substitution maintains flexibility through programmable valuation criteria while dramatically reducing transaction processing time by eliminating manual calculation and assessment steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

An information processing device that manages a transaction of a battery member of an in-vehicle battery. A registration of information on a first battery member that is a recycled battery member is received from a first business, a value of the first battery member is calculated based at least on an appraised value of a right the recycled battery member has, and the first business that provides the first battery member and the second business to which the first battery member is to be transferred are matched based on the value of the first battery member.
