Solution Overview

Problem

Current shared item management systems lack efficient user identification and item matching mechanisms, leading to inconveniences in accessing and utilizing shared resources, especially when mobile devices are unavailable or malfunctioning.

Innovation Solution

A shared item management system that includes a collecting module for user features, a sending module to transmit these features to a shared server, and a response module to perform predetermined actions based on server feedback, enabling secure and personalized access to shared items through biometric or electronic tag identification, location information processing, and item parameter adjustment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If mobile devices are used for user identification and item access, then user convenience is improved, but system reliability deteriorates when devices are unavailable or malfunctioning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a shared item management system as an intermediary between users and shared items. This system includes a server that collects user features, verifies them, and returns control instructions to the shared item, enabling access without relying on mobile devices. The server acts as a mediator that handles authentication and item control independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The shared item itself is equipped with a collecting module, sending module, receiving module, and response module, enabling it to autonomously collect user features, receive verification results from the server, and execute control instructions without requiring external mobile device intervention. The item serves itself in the authentication and control process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If generic access methods are used, then system complexity is reduced, but user personalization and experience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by collecting and utilizing specific user features (such as biometric data, usage preferences) to provide personalized access and item control. Different users receive customized control instructions based on their individual characteristics, allowing the system to adapt to local user needs while maintaining a unified system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by adjusting item control instructions based on verified user features. The server analyzes user characteristics and dynamically modifies control parameters (such as access permissions, operational modes) to match user preferences and requirements, enabling personalization without redesigning the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If manual item allocation is used, then system complexity is reduced, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the shared item sends usage status and location information back to the server. The server analyzes this feedback data and automatically generates appropriate control instructions, creating a closed-loop system that optimizes resource allocation based on real-time conditions without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting user features and pre-establishing verification rules in the server. When a user approaches a shared item, the authentication process is already prepared and can be executed rapidly, enabling efficient automatic allocation without manual intervention during the actual access moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
