Solution Overview

Problem

Existing theme park systems for racing vehicles lack user intervention capabilities, limiting visitor engagement and skill evaluation opportunities, and do not effectively facilitate sharing and improvement of driving experiences.

Innovation Solution

A theme park system featuring customized tracks with sensors and integrated operating servers that collect and analyze driving data, allowing users to compete, share experiences, and receive feedback through a dedicated network, while enabling real-time control and emergency management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If managers unilaterally intervene in racing vehicle operations, then operational control is maintained, but user engagement and skill evaluation opportunities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser intervention capabilityVSAvoidsystem control structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user driving data is collected by sensors, analyzed by the operating server, and returned to users as performance evaluations and comparisons. This enables users to intervene meaningfully in their own racing experience by receiving actionable feedback about their driving skills, lap times, and rankings, thereby improving user engagement while maintaining operational control through automated data processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to self-evaluate their driving skills through automated data collection and analysis. Users can independently access their performance metrics, compare results with others, and track their improvement without requiring continuous manager intervention. The operating server automatically processes driving data and provides users with their own skill assessments, empowering users to take charge of their racing experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If detailed driving data collection is implemented, then skill evaluation and sharing capabilities are improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving data utilizationVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The operating server performs multiple functions using the same data collection infrastructure: it collects driving data, analyzes performance metrics, generates skill evaluations, creates shareable content, and manages user profiles. This multi-functional approach maximizes the utilization of collected driving data across different applications without requiring separate systems for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while improving data utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The operating server acts as an intermediary between the sensors, vehicles, and users. It consolidates raw driving data from multiple sources, processes and standardizes the information, and presents it in user-friendly formats for evaluation and sharing. This intermediary role simplifies the data flow architecture by centralizing processing logic, reducing the complexity that would otherwise exist in direct peer-to-peer data transmission between numerous sensors and multiple users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed is a theme park system for vehicle driving, the system comprising an integrated operating server for: receiving sensor information, through one or more tracks including at least one sensor and a dedicated internal network used inside a theme park for vehicle driving, from the one or more tracks and one or more vehicles driving on the one or more tracks; receiving user information from one ore more user clients by using an external communication network which is not overlapped with the internal network; generating driving information on one or more vehicles by using the received sensor information; and managing the theme park system on the basis of the generated driving information and the received user information.
