Solution Overview

Problem

In environments with an ultra-wideband (UWB) setup, users who temporarily use electronic devices, such as rentals, often miss out on sharing experiences as information related to their usage is not provided to their personal devices and is lost after a single use.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a UWB communication module, a processor, and a communication module determines its position using UWB signals, plays multimedia content corresponding to its location, acquires interest information, selects relevant content, generates user multimedia content, and transmits it to a server for sharing with personal devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a user temporarily uses a rented electronic device in a UWB environment, then the user can experience multimedia content at different locations, but the experience information is lost after the rental period ends

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexperience informationVSAvoidrental period
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing location data, interest information, and experience data during the rental period, and generates a summary before the rental ends. This ensures the experience information is preserved and transferred to the user's personal device before the temporary device is returned

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a copy of the experience information from the rented device to the user's personal device. The processor generates summary information including location-based multimedia content and interest data, then transmits this copied data via communication module, preserving the experience without requiring the physical device to be retained

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If the electronic device captures and processes all multimedia content and location data, then comprehensive user experience information is generated, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexperience informationVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processor extracts only the essential and relevant information from the captured data, such as location coordinates, interest information, and key multimedia content. This extraction process filters out redundant data, reducing processing complexity while preserving the core experience information that needs to be transferred

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The rented electronic device autonomously performs the capture, processing, and generation of experience information without requiring manual user intervention. The system automatically monitors location via UWB, captures multimedia content, processes interest information, and transmits the summary, reducing the operational complexity for the user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
