Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the ability to enable moving objects, such as autonomous vehicles, to autonomously travel according to user preferences, as they do not efficiently match user demands with available services and generate optimal travel plans.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes a control unit capable of providing service information, acquiring user preferences, and determining matching moving objects to generate travel plans, utilizing a server device and user device connected via a network to communicate and coordinate autonomous vehicle operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a system matches user demands with available services and generates travel plans for autonomous vehicles, then the ability to enable moving objects to autonomously travel according to user preferences is improved, but the system complexity increases due to the need to process service information, user preferences, and coordinate multiple vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates between user devices and autonomous vehicles. The server receives service information from vehicles, acquires user preferences, performs matching, and generates travel plans. This intermediary architecture distributes the complexity away from individual vehicles and users, enabling autonomous travel functionality while managing system complexity through centralized coordination.
2Productivity
If service information for multiple autonomous vehicles is processed and matched with user preferences, then the efficiency of service delivery is improved, but the information processing requirements and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information processing task into distinct components: the autonomous vehicles provide service information (availability, location, service type), the server performs matching by comparing service information with user preferences, and the system generates travel plans. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple vehicle-user matches, improving service delivery efficiency while distributing information processing load across multiple system components.
