Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies struggle to accurately classify operation information of devices based on user intentions, leading to ineffective service proposals for users.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that maps device operation information to specific or shared spaces, distinguishing between operation information intended for multiple users and specific users, and uses this classification to select appropriate services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If operation information is collected from devices without considering space attributes, then data collection is simple, but classification accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments operation information into different categories based on space attributes (shared space vs. specific space). By dividing the classification task into distinct segments according to device installation location, the system achieves accurate classification without requiring complex analysis of all operation data simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces space information as an intermediary element that bridges device operation data and user classification. This intermediary space attribute simplifies the classification process by providing a clear mapping rule: devices in shared spaces map to multiple users, while devices in specific spaces map to individual users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If operation information is mapped to multiple users for shared spaces, then service coverage is improved, but information specificity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidinformation specificity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating how operation information is handled based on the specific characteristics of the space. For shared spaces, operation information is mapped to multiple users with appropriate weighting, while for specific spaces, it is mapped to individual users. This localized differentiation preserves information specificity where needed while maintaining broad service coverage where appropriate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An information processing device acquires operation information of a plurality of devices installed in a space. The information processing device maps operation information of a device installed in a shared space used by a plurality of users to the plurality of users. The information processing device maps operation information of a device installed in a specific space used by a specific user to the specific user. The information processing device outputs at least one of the operation information mapped to the plurality of users and the operation information mapped to the specific user.
