Solution Overview

Problem

Current shipment scheduling systems lack visibility for clients and users, making it difficult to plan and estimate transport effectively due to the lack of knowledge about specific items being transported.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a computing device to extract communication detail data, including unit identifiers and terminus data, to generate a transport request on a user device, providing visibility into the items and destinations through a user-friendly interface, allowing users to initiate and track transport requests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional transport coordination processes are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the user has no visibility into specific items being transported

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility into items being transportedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the transport coordination process into distinct functional modules: communication viewing portion, identifier viewing portion, terminus viewing portion, and verification portion. Each module handles specific information display functions, allowing users to access detailed item information through a structured interface without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The computing device acts as an intermediary between the user and the transport system. It extracts communication detail data, collects available communications from internal databases, and presents processed information through the user interface. This intermediary layer transforms complex backend operations into simple user interactions while maintaining visibility into transported items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If detailed item information is provided to users, then users can proactively plan and estimate transport, but the system becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproactive planning capabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-extracting communication detail data including unit identifiers and terminus data before user interaction. The computing device collects and processes available communications from internal databases in advance, so when users access the interface, the data is already organized and ready for immediate display and planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback mechanisms where users can view detailed item information, select specific communications, and receive verification data. This feedback loop allows users to proactively plan transport based on real information about items being transported, while the system continuously updates based on user selections and verification needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the system provides comprehensive transport details, then estimation accuracy improves, but the interface becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransport estimation accuracyVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct viewing portions: communication viewing portion for item details, identifier viewing portion for unit information, terminus viewing portion for destination data, and verification portion for confirmation. This segmentation organizes comprehensive information into manageable sections, maintaining estimation accuracy while improving usability through structured presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method for scheduling a user transport comprising receiving, at a server, a plurality of communications from a client device, interrogating, at the server, each communication of the plurality of communications, initiating, at the server, a transport request as a function of a user request, inputting, at the server, the terminus datum in the transport request as a function of a first selected communication, inputting, at the server, a first selected unit identifier in the transport request, and generating, at the server, a verification datum as a function of a user submission datum.
