User Action Tracking for Preferential Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively accumulate and reward indirect resource-saving actions performed by users in their daily lives, which can lead to unnoticed savings of resources such as power, bandwidth, and parking lots.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that utilizes a communication unit to receive user action information, accumulates resource-saving data, and generates control signals to preferentially provide resources when the user is estimated to desire them, based on accumulated action information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If indirect resource-saving actions are not tracked, then system complexity remains low, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects and tracks resource-saving actions through sensors and data collection mechanisms, eliminating the need for manual user reporting. Users passively benefit from the tracking system that autonomously monitors their behaviors, calculates savings, and manages reward allocations without requiring their active participation in the tracking process.
Solution Approach 2:
An information processing device acts as an intermediary between users and the resource management system. This mediator collects action information from various sources, processes it to determine resource-saving contributions, and coordinates resource allocation based on accumulated savings, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture while improving resource utilization.
2Measurement precision
If manual tracking of resource-saving actions is required, then measurement precision is high, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical tracking methods with automated electronic sensing and data processing systems. Sensors, communication units, and information processing devices automatically detect and record resource-saving actions, eliminating the need for users to manually log their behaviors while maintaining high measurement precision through objective data collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-tracking by automatically monitoring user actions through integrated sensors and data collection mechanisms. Users do not need to actively participate in recording their resource-saving behaviors; the system autonomously detects, measures, and accumulates action information, thereby maintaining accuracy while maximizing user convenience.
3Loss of information
If resource allocation is not differentiated, then system complexity remains low, but loss of information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements differentiated resource allocation by assigning different priority levels and reward amounts based on specific user contributions. Each user's resource-saving actions are evaluated individually, and resources are allocated according to their specific contribution levels, ensuring that each user receives appropriate recognition for their unique savings while maintaining a manageable control structure through standardized evaluation criteria.
