Schedule Matching System for Automatic Service Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing user schedules over networks fail to provide information that matches a user's schedule details such as time, place, and purpose of events, requiring users to manually search for relevant information, which is cumbersome, and do not allow easy access to schedules of infrequently met individuals without user intervention.
Innovation Solution
An information-retrieval system that stores user schedules and service information, allowing users to register their schedules with date, type, and place, and automatically matches this information with relevant service information and schedules of connected users, providing notifications and updates without manual retrieval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users manually search for information matching their schedule through a terminal device, then they can obtain relevant information, but the operation becomes very troublesome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically retrieving and delivering schedule-matching information without requiring user intervention. The server monitors schedule databases and service information databases, automatically matching and delivering relevant information to users based on their registered schedules, eliminating the need for manual searching while ensuring complete information retrieval.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering user schedules and service information in advance. The server proactively matches schedules with relevant service information before users need it, delivering information automatically based on pre-established criteria such as location, time, and event type, thus eliminating the need for last-minute manual searches.
2Ease of operation
If the system provides service information based only on registered keywords, then the system is simple to operate, but it cannot provide information that matches user schedule details such as time, place, and purpose
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies parameter changes by expanding the matching criteria from simple keywords to multiple schedule parameters including time, location, event type, and purpose. The server compares these detailed parameters between user schedules and service information to deliver highly relevant results, maintaining system simplicity while dramatically improving information quality through multi-dimensional parameter matching.
3Loss of information
If users need to access schedules of infrequently met individuals, then complete schedule information is available, but users must manually operate their devices to retrieve this information
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service for schedule access by automatically retrieving and delivering schedule information from other users when needed. Based on registered schedules and connection information, the server proactively obtains and delivers relevant schedule data without requiring users to manually access other users' schedules, saving time while ensuring complete information availability.

AI summary
An information-retrieval system is provided with a schedule storing system that stores schedule information regarding a schedule of a user, a service information storing system that stores pieces of service information respectively corresponding to types of services; and a searching system that searches the pieces of service information for at least one piece of matched information of the pieces of service information matching the schedule information of the user.
