Object Exchange Assistant for Simultaneous Price-Adjusted Barter
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing object exchange systems lack simultaneous exchange functionality between products without approval from the exchange destination owner and fail to adjust prices based on the relative values of exchanged products, leading to inefficiencies and currency value fluctuations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a price adjustment function that enables simultaneous exchanges between objects multiple times by determining appropriate exchange objects, comparing prices, calculating payment amounts, and setting exchange conditions without requiring continuous approval from the exchange destination owner.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If object exchange is performed using barter bills as currency, then transactions can be conducted between parties, but simultaneous exchange between products cannot be achieved and the system becomes equivalent to normal currency trading
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages exchange conditions and coordinates transactions between multiple parties. The server stores exchange conditions including object IDs, user IDs, prices, and exchange rules, enabling automated matching and simultaneous exchange without requiring direct negotiation between parties, thus achieving true barter functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The exchange system segments the transaction process into distinct components: exchange condition registration, price comparison, payment calculation, and exchange execution. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple exchange conditions independently and execute simultaneous exchanges by coordinating these segmented operations through the server.
2Reliability
If exchange proposals require approval from exchange destination object owners, then exchange accuracy can be ensured, but exchange efficiency decreases and continuous exchanges cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having object owners pre-register their exchange conditions, including acceptable objects, price ranges, and exchange rules, before actual exchanges occur. The server stores these pre-defined conditions and automatically matches proposals against them, eliminating the need for real-time approval while ensuring exchange accuracy through pre-established criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms where the server automatically notifies object owners of exchange proposals that match their registered conditions and confirms exchanges when conditions are met. This automated feedback loop enables continuous exchanges without manual intervention while maintaining reliability through condition-based validation.
3Device complexity
If price adjustment functions are not implemented, then exchange simplicity is maintained, but exchanges cannot continue multiple times and currency value fluctuations impact the system
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements price adjustment by changing the price parameter dynamically based on exchange history and conditions. The server stores both first prices (initial values) and second prices (adjusted values) for objects, and automatically adjusts prices between exchanges to maintain balanced trade relationships, enabling continuous exchanges while managing currency value fluctuations.
4Measurement precision
If manual registration of exchanged objects is required, then exchange accuracy is ensured, but time is lost and exchange speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures continuity of useful action by automatically maintaining exchange conditions in the server after objects are exchanged. The system continuously updates the database with exchanged object information without requiring manual re-registration, allowing objects to be quickly re-exchanged while maintaining accuracy through persistent storage and automated condition management.

AI summary
Systems and methods facilitate an automatic object exchange between users. The process comprises receiving an exchange condition from another user's computing device after a user's exchange condition has already been received. Once a matching process identifies the user's object as a potential exchange object, the another user's computing device displays that object and allows it to be selected as an exchange destination object in an exchange. The execution of an exchange program is triggered by the another user's exchange condition, and not the user's exchange condition. The exchange required no financial transaction between the users, e.g., if an exchange destination price of the user's object is lower than an exchange source price of the another user's object.
