Vehicle Path Analysis via Visit Frequency Statistics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not statistically analyze the movement routes of movable bodies, limiting the ability to generate meaningful insights from the collected position information.
Innovation Solution
An information analysis device that receives position information, calculates visit frequencies, and identifies movement routes based on these frequencies, allowing for statistical analysis of movement data to determine regular and occasional visitor patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If position information of movable bodies is collected and sequentially used, then the movement route can be identified, but the position information cannot be statistically analyzed to generate meaningful insights
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the analysis parameter from sequential processing to statistical processing. By introducing visit frequency as a statistical parameter and categorizing movement patterns (regular visitors vs. occasional visitors), the system transforms raw position data into meaningful analytical insights that reveal facility usage patterns and visitor behavior characteristics.
2Quantity of substance
If all movement route information is analyzed without classification, then comprehensive data is available, but the analysis becomes complex and difficult to interpret
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the movement route information by introducing a classification criterion based on visit frequency. By dividing all visitors into two distinct categories (regular visitors with high visit frequency and occasional visitors with low visit frequency), the system simplifies the analysis while maintaining data completeness. This segmentation enables targeted analysis strategies for different visitor types without losing overall data integrity.

AI summary
To statistically analyze information on the path of ra movement of a moving body. An information analysis device includes a communication unit that receives position information for a vehicle, a memory unit that stores map information pertaining to roads over which the vehicle can travel and position information concerning facilities, a visit frequency calculator that calculates the frequency at which the vehicle visits a facility on the basis of facility information concerning the facility, and a travel path specification unit that specifies the vehicle that has made a plurality of visits to the facility on the basis of the results of calculations made by the visit frequency calculator and specifies the travel path to the facility for the specified vehicle from the position information and the map information pertaining to the roads.
