Resource Space Identifier Recording via Location Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for recording identifiers of resource spaces, such as parking bays or lockers, rely on user memory, leading to inconvenient and error-prone input methods.
Innovation Solution
A user device determines its location and presents a subset of resource spaces on a display, allowing the user to select the utilized resource space and transmit the identifier to an automated key cabinet, optionally including user and resource identifiers, using satellite-based localization and estimated accuracy to reduce errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user memory is used to record resource space identifiers, then the system requires minimal technical infrastructure, but the input method becomes inconvenient and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-recording of resource space identifiers through location determination. The user device automatically determines its location and identifies the resource space without requiring manual memory or note-taking by the user, thus improving both convenience and accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical human memory system with an automated electronic location determination system. Instead of relying on human cognitive processes to remember and input identifiers, the system uses satellite-based or other location determination mechanisms to automatically identify and record the resource space
2Reliability
If manual input methods are used for resource space identifiers, then the system complexity remains low, but errors increase and administrative costs rise
Solution Approach 1:
The user device performs multiple functions: it serves as both the resource utilization interface and the location determination device. This multi-functionality allows the system to achieve accurate identifier recording without adding separate dedicated hardware systems, thus improving reliability while controlling complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an automated key cabinet as an intermediary system that mediates between the user and the resource space identification process. The key cabinet receives location data and automatically processes the identifier recording, reducing errors while distributing system complexity across multiple components rather than concentrating it in one complex device
