Vehicle Interior Pickup Source Designation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional delivery systems do not allow users to designate the interior of a vehicle or facility as a pickup source for packages, requiring users to visit a business office for package handover or pickup, limiting convenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that enables users to determine and designate the interior of their vehicles or facilities as pickup sources through a user terminal, allowing for the pickup of packages from these locations, including multiple items from various vehicles or facilities, and integrating with websites and applications for electronic commerce and service management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional delivery systems are used, then delivery to vehicle interior is supported, but pickup service from vehicle interior is not available
Solution Approach 1:
The system extends the vehicle interior delivery service functionality to also support pickup services. The same vehicle identification and authentication mechanisms are used for both delivery and pickup operations, allowing the system to serve multiple functions (delivery and pickup) through a unified platform. This enables users to designating vehicle interiors as both delivery destinations and pickup sources.
2Ease of operation
If user designates vehicle interior as pickup source, then convenience is improved, but information transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential information needed for pickup operations - specifically the vehicle identification information and authentication data - while maintaining security. Instead of transmitting comprehensive user data, the system selectively transmits only the minimum necessary information (vehicle ID, authentication credentials) to enable pickup service, thereby reducing information transmission requirements while still improving convenience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple vehicles are used for package pickup, then service flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the pickup service into independent vehicle units, where each vehicle can be individually identified, authenticated, and designated as a pickup source. The plurality registration function allows users to register multiple vehicles separately, and the system processes each vehicle independently through the same authentication and designation流程. This segmentation approach enables service flexibility across multiple vehicles without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the same modular processes are reused for each vehicle.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system includes a pickup source determiner configured to determine an interior of a vehicle, a building, or a facility used by a user of a predetermined pickup service, as a pickup source of a package in response to a request for picking up the package from a user terminal of the pickup service.
