Timing Determination Circuit for Non-Disruptive Quiz Provision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game services struggle to provide quiz information that is relevant and timely during sports events, such as baseball games, without disrupting the user's experience. This requires real-time monitoring of the event to determine appropriate moments for providing quiz information.
Innovation Solution
An information provision device, method, and program that include a timing determination circuit to determine the optimal time for providing quiz information, a quiz information generation circuit to create relevant quiz questions based on the event's situation, and a quiz information provision circuit to deliver the quiz information to users at the appropriate time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If quiz information is provided to the user after the player steps into the batter's box in the baseball game, then the user can gain knowledge about the sport, but the user may feel it disturbing to watching the game
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by providing quiz information before the player steps into the batter's box. The timing determination circuit identifies the appropriate moment during the game flow, and the quiz information provision circuit delivers the quiz content in advance, allowing users to complete their answers before the game action begins, thus avoiding distraction during critical viewing moments while still providing educational value
2Loss of time
If the baseball game is monitored in real time to determine an appropriate time to provide quiz information, then the timing of quiz provision can be optimized, but manual monitoring is unrealistic for addressing various sport games
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automated event monitoring. The situation monitoring circuit automatically tracks game events and states without requiring manual intervention, and the timing determination circuit autonomously identifies appropriate quiz provision moments based on predefined game state criteria. This automated approach enables the system to handle multiple sport games simultaneously without increasing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system is designed with universality to handle various sport games through a unified approach. The situation monitoring circuit and timing determination circuit work together to monitor different game types (baseball, basketball, soccer, etc.) using the same automated framework, eliminating the need for separate manual monitoring systems for each sport while maintaining timing accuracy

AI summary
An information provision device in an information provision system includes, as its functions: a score control circuit that increases or decreases a provision timing score on the occurrence of a predetermined action; a timing determination circuit that determines the coming of the time to provide quiz information if the provision timing score exceeds a predetermined threshold; a priority control circuit that determines or changes, based on the situation of, e.g., a sport game on each occurrence of an action, priority associated with text information from which quiz information is generated; a quiz information generation circuit that generates appropriate quiz information based on the situation of, e.g., the sport game at the time determined; and a quiz information provision circuit that provides the generated quiz information to a user.
