Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in obtaining accurate travel information while traveling, especially when visiting a destination for the first time, due to the difficulty in entering appropriate search keywords.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal equipped with a display unit, microphone, location information module, camera, and controller, which analyzes real-time images and user voice input to provide customized tour guide content by highlighting relevant objects within the image and displaying corresponding information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users search for travel information using traditional search methods, then they can obtain travel content, but they need to enter accurate search keywords which is difficult for first-time visitors
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures images of travel destinations using the terminal's camera and analyzes them to identify objects and provide relevant travel information without requiring users to manually search or input keywords. The system serves itself by autonomously extracting information from visual data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces image analysis as an intermediary between the user and travel information. Instead of requiring direct user input (search keywords), the system uses captured images as an intermediary medium to automatically retrieve and present relevant travel content, bridging the gap between user needs and information retrieval.
2Loss of information
If the system provides comprehensive travel information, then users get detailed content, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary travel information from captured images using object recognition and analysis algorithms. Instead of processing all possible data, it selectively extracts relevant objects and their associated information, reducing computational complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the travel information into distinct categories (e.g., landmark information, historical context, nearby attractions) and processes them separately through specialized analysis modules. This segmentation allows comprehensive information provision while managing system complexity through modular processing.
3Speed
If the system analyzes real-time images continuously, then relevant information is provided timely, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs image capture and analysis periodically rather than continuously. It captures images at strategic moments when the user is likely to need information (e.g., when stopping at a destination) rather than continuously processing visual data, reducing energy consumption while maintaining timely information provision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary image capture and basic analysis in advance, preparing information datasets that can be quickly retrieved and presented when needed. This preliminary processing reduces the computational load during actual information provision moments, lowering overall energy consumption while maintaining fast response times.

AI summary
The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for providing customized tour guide content that can provide appropriate tour content to a user with minimal input from the user by using at least one of user data during a tour, movement data, and tour destination data, and a terminal for implementing same. One aspect of the present invention may provide a user terminal comprising: a display; a microphone; a location information module; a camera; and a control unit that displays on said display a real-time video sensed through the camera on the display; analyzes in real time a plurality of objects included in the real-time video through an analysis of the real-time video; analyzes, by means of artificial intelligence, at least one of the current location and direction sensed through the location information module and a user's voice inputted through the microphone to select an object that matches the user's voice; when the selected object is included in the real-time video that is currently displayed on the display, displays the real-time video and selected object information of the selected object together while highlighting the selected object in the real-time video; and, when the selected object is not included in the real-time video that is currently displayed on the display, displays the real-time video and the selected object information together without highlighting the object in the real-time video.
