Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing complexity of goods or service transactions due to multiple participants requires manual and inefficient processes for matching consumer needs, leading to suboptimal product offerings.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing a database and processor to analyze and select optimal routes for goods or service transactions, incorporating centralized and decentralized databases, and executing smart contracts to automate the matching process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual matching process is used to match consumer needs with product offerings, then flexibility in handling complex participant information is maintained, but productivity and efficiency deteriorate due to laborious and time-consuming processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a processor as an intermediary component that receives requests from requesters, analyzes multiple routes using stored goods or service related information, and automatically matches requesters with providers. This intermediary system handles the complexity of multilateral participant information while performing automated analysis and matching, thereby improving productivity without sacrificing the ability to handle complex information scenarios.
2Productivity
If automated processing is implemented to improve matching efficiency, then productivity improves, but device complexity increases due to the need for processors and database systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the matching system into distinct functional components: a database for storing goods or service related information provided by providers, and a processor for receiving requests, analyzing routes, and performing matching. This segmentation organizes the system complexity into manageable modules, making the automated processing architecture more structured and maintainable while achieving improved matching efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual sorting and analysis of product related information is performed, then adaptability to complex consumer needs is maintained, but loss of time increases due to laborious matching processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having providers pre-provide goods or service related information (such as price, quality, quantity, delivery time, and delivery place) which is stored in the database before actual matching occurs. This pre-processing and storage of information enables the processor to quickly retrieve and analyze relevant data during matching, reducing the time required for analysis while maintaining adaptability to complex consumer needs through comprehensive pre-captured information.

AI summary
A system and method for facilitating goods or service related activity is disclosed. The system for facilitating goods or service related activity may comprise a database storing goods or service related information which is provided by at least one provider; and a processor operable to receive a request associated with the goods or service related activity from a requester; wherein the processor is operable to analyse a plurality of routes that the at least one provider can provide the goods or service to the requester, using the goods or service related information, in order to select at least one route among the plurality of routes; and match the requester with a provider associated with the selected route.
