Social Media Relationship-Based Information Prioritization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information providing systems for vehicles do not consider user preferences, resulting in uniform information being provided to recipients, reducing the likelihood of relevant information being delivered.
Innovation Solution
An information providing device and method that includes a receiving unit for identification information and a character string, an extracting unit for place information from action histories, a first identification unit to identify followed users on social media, and an adjusting unit to prioritize place information based on user relationships and influence, ensuring relevant information is sent to the user terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If uniform information is provided to all recipients under the same condition, then the information providing system is simple and easy to operate, but the probability that sought information is provided to the recipient decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different information priorities to different users based on their social media relationships. Instead of uniform information distribution, the system identifies followed users and assigns higher priorities to place information from them, making the information provision tailored to individual user contexts and relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing social media relationship data and user follow relationships before information provision. The information providing device stores and processes social media data in advance, allowing it to quickly identify followed users and adjust information priorities without real-time complex analysis during information delivery.
2Reliability
If place information from followed users is prioritized, then the probability of providing relevant information increases, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by utilizing existing social media relationship data structures and user follow information. Instead of creating new complex relationship models, the system copies and leverages the already-established social media data format, reducing the complexity of the priority adjustment mechanism while maintaining reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If social media relationship data is integrated into the information providing system, then user preference matching improves, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing the information providing device to handle multiple data types (social media relationships, action histories, place information) through a unified processing framework. The same basic mechanism identifies users, retrieves their followed users, and adjusts priorities, making the system adaptable to different data sources without requiring separate complex processing paths for each.

AI summary
An information providing device includes a receiving unit configured to receive identification information of a first user and a character string from a terminal, an extracting unit configured to extract place information associated with the character string from action histories of a plurality of persons, a first identification unit configured to identify a second user that the first user follows by consulting information that represents a relationship between users on social media, an adjusting unit configured to, of the extracted place information, raise a priority of the place information contained in the action history of the second user as compared to the other place information; and a sending unit configured to send the extracted place information and the priority of the place information to the terminal.
