In-Vehicle Transfer Information Display for Train Schedule Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems fail to provide operation-related information of scheduled transportation systems, such as train schedules, directly to passengers during transfers from vehicles like taxis to trains, necessitating passengers to use separate devices for checking train information, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that integrates operation-related information display capabilities within the vehicle, specifically displaying train schedules and transfer details on the vehicle's display screen, and a storage medium to execute these functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If operation-related information is displayed only on mobile terminals, then device complexity is reduced, but convenience for passengers is lowered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the mobile terminal's information display function with the vehicle's display system. The operation-related information that was previously only accessible via mobile terminal is now also displayed on the vehicle's display device, combining multiple information sources into a unified display interface that improves passenger convenience without significantly increasing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle's display device acts as an intermediary between the scheduled transportation system information and the passenger. Instead of requiring passengers to directly check their mobile terminals, the system mediates by receiving information from external sources and presenting it through the vehicle's display interface, thereby improving ease of operation
2Loss of time
If passengers use mobile terminals to check train information, then information accuracy is maintained, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by acquiring and displaying operation-related information about the scheduled transportation system in advance within the vehicle cabin. Passengers can view train schedules and transfer details before reaching the transfer point, eliminating the need to check mobile terminals at the last moment and reducing time loss
3Ease of operation
If the vehicle display shows transfer information, then convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle's display device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a general vehicle information display and as a dedicated interface for scheduled transportation system information. This universal approach allows the same hardware to provide multiple functions without proportionally increasing complexity

AI summary
An information processing device includes a movement route receiving unit, an operation-related information acquiring unit, and a display control unit. The movement route receiving unit configured to receive, from an outside, a movement route of a passenger of a vehicle that includes transfer from the vehicle to a scheduled transportation system. The operation-related information acquiring unit configured to acquire operation-related information of the scheduled transportation system to which the passenger is expected to transfer. The display control unit configured to display the operation-related information on a display screen disposed in a cabin of the vehicle.
