Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online to offline transportation services typically offer only one service type when a user initiates a request, limiting user choice and not providing optimal service options based on various factors.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that determine and display multiple transportation service types to users, using a service selection model to identify the optimal service type based on factors like estimated cost, promotions, user preferences, and vehicle availability, and generate a response signal to prompt the user terminal to display service information accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only one service type is provided when a user initiates a service request, then the service system is simple and easy to operate, but user choice is limited and service optimization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser choiceVSAvoidservice system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service information is segmented into multiple types (e.g., economy, standard, premium) with different characteristics and pricing. The system divides the single service offering into multiple service tiers, allowing users to choose based on their needs while maintaining structured management of each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The service selection model dynamically determines the optimal service type based on real-time factors such as user preferences, historical behavior, vehicle availability, and current promotions. The system adapts its recommendations dynamically rather than providing static service options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If multiple service types are provided to users, then user choice and service optimization are improved, but the service system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice selection efficiencyVSAvoidservice system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service selection model incorporates feedback loops that analyze user responses, selection patterns, and satisfaction metrics to continuously optimize service recommendations. The system learns from user feedback to improve future service type selections and matching accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically selects and recommends optimal service types using algorithms that analyze multiple parameters without requiring manual intervention. The service selection process is self-executing, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high productivity in service matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If a service selection model is used to determine optimal service type, then service accuracy and user satisfaction are improved, but processing requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice matching accuracyVSAvoidmodel processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service selection model uses multiple parameters (user preferences, historical data, vehicle availability, pricing, promotions) that can be adjusted and weighted differently based on conditions. By changing and optimizing these parameters, the system achieves high matching accuracy while managing computational complexity through parameter tuning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
