Visit Coordination Information Sharing with Status-Based Disclosure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information providing systems fail to effectively promote users and their related individuals to visit a common destination together, despite updating and sharing evaluation information.
Innovation Solution
An information providing apparatus and method that includes a processor and memory to store selection and visit request information, specifying related users who wish to visit a selected destination, and generating disclosure information based on the registration status of these users, displayed to the first user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If evaluation information is updated and transmitted to users with identical or similar attributes, then information sharing is improved, but the ability to promote joint visits between users and their related individuals is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the first user by displaying disclosure information about the related user's visit request status. This feedback mechanism allows the first user to understand whether their related user wants to visit the selected spot, enabling them to coordinate and make joint visits more effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The information providing apparatus acts as an intermediary between the first user and the related user. It collects visit request information from the related user, processes it according to registration status, and provides appropriate disclosure information to the first user, thereby facilitating joint visit coordination without direct communication between the users.
2Ease of operation
If disclosure information about related users is provided to users, then joint visit coordination is improved, but user privacy and information security concerns arise
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different disclosure levels to different pieces of information based on the registration status. When the first user has registered visit request information, more detailed disclosure information about the related user is provided. When not registered, less detailed information is disclosed. This local quality approach ensures privacy protection while enabling coordination when appropriate.
3Productivity
If the system processes and matches visit request information between users and related users, then visit coordination effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of visit request information by storing and organizing it according to user identifiers and spot identifiers before matching occurs. This preliminary action allows the matching process to be simpler and more efficient, as the information is already structured and ready for comparison when a user selects a spot.

AI summary
An information providing apparatus stores selection information indicating a visit target selected by a first user and visit request information indicating a visit target that each of the first user and a related user who has a relationship with the first user requests to visit, specifies a related user who requests to visit the selected visit target, from visit request information, generates disclosure information regarding the specified related user, the disclosure information being disclosed to the first user to a degree of disclosure according to a registration status regarding the selected visit target of the first user in the visit request information, and generates data for displaying the generated disclosure information.
