Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle dispatch systems prioritize convenience over physical activity, leading to reduced exercise opportunities for users, and systems that emphasize exercise often compromise on speed and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that integrates vehicle dispatch with exercise by setting walking sections before or after vehicle travel, using exercise information to determine optimal routes and incentives, and adjusting based on user preferences and environmental conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user continues to use the vehicle at the time of movement, then the convenience of movement is improved, but the opportunity to exercise is reduced and the exercise is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of movementVSAvoidexercise opportunity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the movement process into distinct segments: a first exercise section where the user exercises on foot, and a second exercise section where the user exercises after disembarking from the vehicle. This segmentation allows the user to combine vehicle travel with exercise opportunities, resolving the contradiction between convenience of movement and exercise opportunity by structuring the journey to include both elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a vehicle dispatch system prioritizes convenience over physical activity, then the ease of operation is improved, but the user health deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconvenienceVSAvoiduser health
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit determines exercise sections in advance based on exercise information related to the user before the vehicle dispatch. By preliminarily planning exercise opportunities within the movement route, the system ensures that user health considerations are integrated into the convenience-oriented vehicle dispatch, preventing health deterioration while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If a vehicle dispatch system emphasizes exercise opportunities, then the user health is improved, but the speed and efficiency of transportation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise opportunityVSAvoidtransportation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the movement route to include exercise sections without compromising overall transportation efficiency. The control unit flexibly determines boarding and disembarking places based on exercise information, allowing the route to adapt to exercise requirements while maintaining reasonable travel speed and efficiency through optimized vehicle dispatch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The management server executes a dispatching processing for the user. The management server comprises a communication unit that receives at least one of the departure place and the destination from the user, a control unit that sets the boarding place and disembarking place of the vehicle assigned to the user based on at least one of the received departure place and destination, and a communication unit that outputs the boarding place and disembarking place to the user. The control unit sets at least one of a first exercise section, in which the user moves while doing exercise with the boarding place as an end point, and a second exercise section, in which the user moves while doing exercise with the disembarking place as a start point, based on movement information related to the user.
