Vehicle Stop-off Recommendation Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack the ability to confirm the effectiveness of recommendations for users to stop off at places different from their destination during vehicle travel, as they cannot verify if the user has actually visited the recommended location.
Innovation Solution
A control apparatus and method that uses positional data to determine whether a user has stopped off at a recommended location by comparing the user's position with the recommended location, allowing for the confirmation of the effectiveness of such recommendations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a recommendation system presents stop-off recommendations to users during vehicle travel, then the user experience and potential customer visits to advertised places are improved, but the ability to confirm whether the user actually visited the recommended location deteriorates (cannot verify effectiveness)
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously acquiring positional data from the terminal apparatus and comparing it with the recommended location information. When the user's position matches the recommended place, the system provides feedback confirming the visit, thereby enabling verification of recommendation effectiveness while maintaining the recommendation functionality.
2Measurement precision
If the system tracks user position to verify visit to recommended location, then the ability to confirm recommendation effectiveness is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal apparatus in the user's vehicle automatically performs position acquisition and transmission without requiring additional user actions. The system uses existing GPS/positioning capabilities of the terminal apparatus, eliminating the need for separate tracking devices or complex verification mechanisms, thus achieving accurate visit confirmation while keeping the system relatively simple.
3Measurement precision
If the system continuously monitors user position to determine visit status, then the accuracy of stop-off determination is improved, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system acquires positional data periodically rather than continuously, transmitting position information at regular intervals to the control apparatus. This periodic monitoring maintains sufficient accuracy for determining whether the user visited the recommended location while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous tracking.

AI summary
A control apparatus includes a controller configured to determine whether a user who travels in a vehicle has stopped off at a place different from a destination, with reference to positional data indicating a position of the user, the user having accepted a recommendation to stop off at the place using the vehicle, the recommendation being presented together with an advertisement promoting the place.
