Solution Overview

Problem

Users face stress due to lack of information about vehicle delivery progress and limited flexibility in choosing between dealer and factory delivery options, with existing schedule management technologies failing to accommodate user preferences.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that calculates and presents cost and delivery date comparisons for dealer and factory deliveries, allowing users to select their preferred delivery method.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If dealer delivery is selected, then delivery convenience is improved, but delivery cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery convenienceVSAvoiddelivery cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of delivery method (dealer vs. factory delivery) and presents the corresponding cost and schedule variations to the user, enabling flexible adjustment based on user preferences and conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of energy

If factory delivery is selected, then delivery cost is reduced, but delivery time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery costVSAvoiddelivery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system presents multiple delivery options with different parameter combinations (cost, time, convenience) and allows users to flexibly select based on their specific needs and conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If delivery schedule is fixed, then schedule management is simplified, but user flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveschedule management complexityVSAvoiduser flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts delivery schedules based on user selections and presents flexible options to users, transforming the rigid fixed schedule into an adaptable system that responds to user needs while maintaining manageable complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The cost and delivery date of the dealer delivery and the cost and delivery date of the factory delivery are calculated, and comparison information based on the cost and delivery date of the dealer delivery and the cost and delivery date of the factory delivery and delivery date of the factory delivery is presented to the user, and the selection of either the dealer delivery or the factory delivery is accepted.
