Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicular information systems require significant time and effort for setting baggage types and are inaccurate when destination changes occur, leading to incorrect determination of missing baggage items.

Innovation Solution

A server device and method that utilize identification tags attached to baggage items, combined with schedule information to generate a baggage list for each activity, allowing for accurate checking of necessary items based on planned activities and destinations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If baggage types are set in one set using type detection means, then the system can notify passengers of missing baggage items, but it requires significant time and effort for input and becomes inaccurate when destination changes occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of baggage determinationVSAvoidcomplexity of setting baggage types
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores multiple baggage lists corresponding to different activities (skiing, golf, fishing, etc.) and destinations in the server device before the user needs them. When the user inputs their schedule, the system automatically retrieves and combines the appropriate pre-prepared baggage lists, eliminating the need for users to manually set baggage types and ensuring accuracy even when destinations change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a server device as an intermediary between the user and the baggage determination process. The server stores comprehensive baggage lists for various activities and destinations, processes the user's schedule information, and automatically generates the appropriate baggage list by combining relevant items from multiple activities. This intermediary handles the complexity of baggage type setting and destination changes, providing accurate results without user effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the navigation device sets multiple destinations including sightseeing places before the final destination, then the system can provide route information, but the determination of lacking baggage items becomes inaccurate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of route informationVSAvoidprecision of baggage checking
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores baggage lists for multiple activities and destinations in the server device. When processing the user's schedule, it automatically identifies all activities including sightseeing places and intermediate destinations, then combines the corresponding pre-prepared baggage lists to generate a comprehensive checklist that accounts for all stops along the route.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the baggage list generation process to accommodate variable numbers of destinations and activities in the user's schedule. It flexibly combines baggage lists corresponding to each activity in the schedule items, whether there is one destination or multiple destinations including sightseeing places, ensuring the baggage checklist accurately reflects all planned activities regardless of schedule complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the system checks baggage items based on a single destination, then the checking process is simple, but it fails to account for multiple activities and destinations in the user's schedule

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of baggage checkingVSAvoidadaptability to multiple activities
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The server device pre-stores standardized baggage lists for common activities (skiing, golf, fishing, etc.) and destinations. When the user inputs their schedule with multiple activities, the system automatically retrieves and combines the corresponding pre-prepared lists, maintaining simplicity in the user interface while adapting to complex multi-activity schedules through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal baggage checking solution that handles both single-destination and multi-destination schedules through the same automated process. The list generation unit can combine baggage lists from multiple activities and destinations or use a single list depending on the schedule, providing versatile adaptability while maintaining ease of operation through automatic processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A server device includes: an identification information storage configured to store identification information stored in identification tags; an identification information storage configured to store a baggage list where the items are listed for each activity; a schedule acquisition unit configured to acquire schedule information of the user; and a list generator configured to generate a baggage list according to an activity included in the schedule information of the user when the boarding of the user is identified. The list generator receives a plurality of schedule items that are set for a point of time after the boarding of the user is identified from the schedule acquisition unit and combines baggage lists that correspond to activities in the plurality of schedule items that have been received so as to generate a baggage list for checking in order to check whether there are enough baggage items.
