Talk Room Control Unit for Event Communication Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In social gatherings or events, participants often fail to communicate with all attendees, leading to a lack of interaction in post-event chat rooms, as they typically converse mainly with congenial persons, resulting in limited opportunities for mutual communication.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that assesses communication levels between users during events, creating talk rooms based on these levels to facilitate communication among participants, using proximity and communication level assessment units to select appropriate communication techniques and manage talk room duration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a chat room is created after an event for all participants, then the chat room can be established, but communication opportunities are limited because users only converse with congenial persons
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating different types of talk rooms with different access permissions based on communication levels. Instead of a single uniform chat room for all participants, the system creates multiple talk rooms where users can only access those corresponding to their communication level, thereby enabling meaningful communication while maintaining privacy and relevance.
2Productivity
If communication levels are assessed and used to create talk rooms, then communication opportunities are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by assessing communication levels between users during the event itself, before the talk rooms are created. This pre-assessment data is then used to automatically configure the talk room structure, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making during the post-event communication phase and simplifying the overall system operation.
3Loss of information
If talk rooms are created based on communication levels, then relevant information sharing is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using only the necessary portion of communication level data to create talk rooms. Instead of requiring precise measurement of all possible communication dimensions, the system uses sufficient but not excessive measurement precision to adequately distinguish communication levels and create appropriately segmented talk rooms, balancing information relevance with measurement feasibility.
Data Source
AI summary
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a communication level acquisition unit that acquires a level of mutual communication between users, and a talk room control unit that creates a talk room that a plurality of users access via terminals in order to provide or acquire information, on a basis of the level. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to provide a mechanism that can create a talk room afterward with a person the user actually conversed with on the spot.
