Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies for mobile vehicles used for classes do not adequately ensure safety during events such as fires or conflicts between occupants, as they do not adequately address the potential hazards associated with classes held within vehicles.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and system that acquires vehicle information, including class details and travel data, to determine hazard information and security requirements, and deploys a security vehicle to guard the mobile vehicle based on this information, ensuring safety by controlling the security vehicle's position and type deployment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a mobile vehicle is used for holding classes, then educational flexibility and accessibility are improved, but safety risks from hazardous events increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeducational flexibilityVSAvoidsafety risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring class information and travel information before the class occurs, determining hazard information in advance, and deploying security vehicles to positions where they can prevent hazardous events before they happen, rather than merely responding after incidents occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing apparatus acts as an intermediary that collects and analyzes class information and travel information, processes this data to determine hazard information, and uses this analysis to deploy security vehicles appropriately, mediating between the mobile classroom operation and safety保障

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If security measures are deployed for mobile classes, then safety of occupants is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of occupantsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically acquiring class information and travel information, autonomously determining hazard information through processing, and independently deploying security vehicles without requiring manual intervention, thereby managing safety without proportionally increasing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by processing class information and travel information to determine hazard information, using these parameter changes to dynamically adjust security vehicle deployment strategies, enabling adaptive safety management based on real-time conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An information processing apparatus for guarding at least one vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire vehicle information including class information for a class to be held in the at least one vehicle and travel information for the at least one vehicle, determine hazard information attributable to holding of the class based on the acquired vehicle information, and determine security information for guarding the at least one vehicle based on the determined hazard information.
