Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional technologies fail to appropriately obtain videos captured by mobile terminals at desired positions on a route.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that includes an inquiry receiver to receive route identification information, a video obtainer to obtain videos from mobile terminals along the route, and a transmitter to deliver these videos to user terminals, along with features to manage terminal positions and rights, reducing burden on mobile terminals and ensuring appropriate video provision.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If mobile terminals continuously transmit captured videos to the information processing device, then video availability on the route is improved, but the burden on mobile terminals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo availabilityVSAvoidterminal burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal determines whether to transmit the captured video by checking if its current position satisfies the route condition before transmission. This preliminary position checking action filters out unnecessary transmissions, reducing terminal burden while maintaining video availability for relevant routes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing device sends back determination results about whether the terminal's position satisfies the route condition. This feedback mechanism allows the terminal to make informed decisions about transmission, balancing video availability with reduced terminal burden through conditional transmission based on position feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the information processing device actively determines and obtains videos from multiple terminals, then video provision accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo provision accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal performs self-determination of whether its position satisfies the route condition and makes the decision to transmit or not. This self-service approach shifts the complexity from the central information processing device to the terminal itself, reducing system complexity while maintaining accurate video provision through position-based filtering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the system manages right holder information and performs rights processes, then legal compliance is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelegal complianceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system attaches the right holder identifier to the video data in advance during the obtaining process. This preliminary attachment of rights information allows subsequent rights processes to be performed more efficiently without requiring additional data retrieval, thus reducing processing time while maintaining legal compliance through proper rights management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing device including: an inquiry receiver configured to receive an inquiry including a route identification information for identifying a route from a user terminal; a video obtainer configured to obtain a video captured by each of one or a plurality of mobile terminals satisfying a route condition which is a condition corresponding to at least a part of the route identified by the route identification information; and a video transmitter configure to transmit the video to the user terminal, wherein the video obtainer obtains a first video corresponding to a first positional information for identifying a first partial route in the route identified by the route identification information and obtain a second video corresponding to a second positional information for identifying a second partial route which is beyond the first partial route in the route, and the video transmitter transmits the first and second videos.
