Venue Content Delivery Through Facilitator-Triggered Location Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to accurately determine which participants are present at a specific location within a venue, leading to incorrect content being provided to their devices, resulting in wastage of resources.
Innovation Solution
An interaction system that uses sensing devices to track facilitator and participant devices, determining their locations and interactions, and updates records to ensure accurate content delivery based on these interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If existing systems provide content to participants without accurate location tracking, then resource usage increases due to incorrect content delivery, but system complexity remains low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces sensing devices as intermediaries between participants and the content delivery system. These devices track participant locations and interactions, enabling accurate content delivery without requiring complex modifications to the entire system architecture. The sensing devices mediate between the simple content delivery mechanism and the need for precise location-awareness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where sensing devices continuously monitor participant locations and interactions, then feed this information back to the content delivery system. This feedback loop enables dynamic adjustment of content delivery based on actual participant status, reducing wasted resources on incorrect deliveries while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular feedback processing.
2Measurement precision
If the system implements accurate location tracking and interaction monitoring, then content delivery precision improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the location tracking and content delivery functions into separate modular components. Sensing devices handle location and interaction detection independently, while the content delivery system processes this information separately. This segmentation allows each component to remain relatively simple while achieving high overall precision through their coordinated interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
Sensing devices serve as intermediaries that bridge the gap between simple participant devices and the complex content delivery requirements. These intermediaries handle the complexity of location tracking and interaction monitoring, allowing participant devices to remain simple while still achieving precise content delivery through the intermediary's processing capabilities.
3Reliability
If the system uses sensing devices to track all participants, then interaction accuracy improves, but loss of time for processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing devices perform location tracking and interaction monitoring at periodic intervals rather than continuously. This periodic action maintains reliable interaction accuracy by capturing sufficient data points to determine participant status and content delivery appropriateness, while significantly reducing processing time and computational overhead compared to continuous monitoring.
Data Source
AI summary
An interaction system may receive trigger information associated with a facilitator device of a facilitator at a venue. The trigger information may be transmitted based on the facilitator operating the facilitator device during an interaction between the facilitator and one or more participants. The interaction system may determine, based on receiving the trigger information, that interaction information has been provided to the one or more participants. The interaction system may determine, in response to the trigger information, that the facilitator was located at a particular sensing location. The interaction system may obtain, using sensing location information identifying the particular sensing location, participant device information regarding a participant device located at the particular sensing location during the interaction. The interaction system may modify a record associated with the participant device to reflect that the interaction information was provided to a participant associated with the participant device during the interaction.
