Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems for display devices struggle to provide content that attracts user interest, often including uninteresting content in the displayed material.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that communicates with display devices to acquire user attribute ratios and facility content correlations, identifying and displaying content aligned with the most prevalent user attributes to maximize interest.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content is displayed by display devices without user attribute analysis, then display operation is simple, but content attractiveness to users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay operation simplicityVSAvoidcontent attractiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user attributes (age, gender, interests) before content selection. By pre-acquiring user attribute information and pre-establishing content databases categorized by attributes, the system prepares personalized content in advance, enabling both simple automated display operation and high content attractiveness without manual intervention during actual display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of content selection from generic to personalized based on user attributes. By varying content parameters (type, category, characteristics) according to detected user attributes, the system maintains simple display operation while significantly improving content attractiveness through attribute-based content matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If generic content is displayed to all users, then display system complexity is low, but user interest and engagement deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay system complexityVSAvoiduser engagement effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the user base into different attribute groups (age groups, genders, interest categories) and segments the content database accordingly. This segmentation enables automated personalized content selection without increasing overall system complexity, as each segment has pre-defined content associations. The segmentation approach directly improves user engagement by delivering relevant content to each group while maintaining simple automated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by detecting user attributes in real-time and using this information to select appropriate content. The feedback loop from user attribute detection to content selection automation improves user engagement effectiveness without requiring complex manual intervention, as the system automatically adjusts content based on detected user characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Speed

If content selection is manual without automated analysis, then system processing speed is fast, but content relevance to user attributes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent selection speedVSAvoidcontent attribute matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization of content into attribute-based categories and pre-establishes matching rules between user attributes and content types. This preliminary preparation enables rapid automated content selection with high attribute matching accuracy, eliminating the need for manual content analysis while maintaining fast selection speed through pre-configured matching logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual content selection (mechanical human decision-making) with automated attribute-based content selection using detection and processing circuits. This substitution maintains fast content selection speed while dramatically improving attribute matching accuracy by using systematic automated analysis instead of manual judgment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

An information processing device executes communication with a display device. The information processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires ratio information that indicates a ratio of each attribute corresponding to a plurality of users existing in a vicinity of the display device and a facility table indicating correspondence relationship between content and an attribute, an identification unit that identifies one attribute based on ordinal ranks corresponding to the ratio of each attribute and identifies content corresponding to the identified attribute based on the facility table, and a control unit that executes control for making the display device display the identified content.
