Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If visitor traffic information is collected to generate visitor traffic lines, then the accuracy of visitor traffic line representation is improved, but the system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the visitor traffic line by retrieving the shortest route from map information between a starting point and destination. This virtual representation replicates the essential characteristics of actual visitor movement without requiring physical tracking devices or data collection infrastructure, thereby achieving accurate traffic line generation while avoiding system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces map information and shortest route calculation as an intermediary between the starting point and destination. Instead of directly collecting visitor traffic data, the system uses map information processing to generate the visitor traffic line, which serves as a mediator that provides accurate representation without requiring direct observation or measurement of actual visitor movements
2Reliability
If visitor traffic data collection is implemented, then service proposal accuracy is improved, but the time and resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by retrieving map information and calculating the shortest route in advance to generate the visitor traffic line. This pre-processing of spatial data enables immediate service proposals without requiring time-consuming visitor traffic data collection at the time of service planning, thereby achieving reliable service proposals while minimizing time loss
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses automated shortest route calculation based on map information to generate visitor traffic lines without human intervention or manual data collection. The map information system automatically provides the necessary spatial data and routing information, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual traffic observation or survey operations
3Measurement precision
If direct visitor traffic monitoring is used, then traffic volume measurement precision is improved, but the cost of implementation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a cost-effective virtual copy of traffic volume data by calculating the shortest route from map information. This virtual representation replicates the essential traffic flow characteristics without requiring expensive physical monitoring equipment such as cameras, sensors, or tracking devices, thereby achieving sufficient measurement precision while dramatically reducing implementation costs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses map information and shortest route calculation as a low-cost intermediary to estimate traffic volume. Instead of deploying expensive direct monitoring infrastructure, the system leverages readily available map data and routing algorithms to infer traffic patterns, providing cost-effective traffic volume measurement with acceptable precision for service planning purposes

AI summary
Provided is an information processing device that generates a visitor traffic line without having to collect information about the traffic of visitors. An information processing device includes a map information acquisition unit that acquires map information, a destination acquisition unit that acquires a destination, a route retrieval unit that retrieves a shortest route from a location on a road to the destination on a basis of road information included in the map information, and a visitor traffic line generation unit that generates a visitor traffic line from the shortest route retrieved by the route retrieval unit. The location of each road is a location remote from the destination by predetermined distance. In particular, the location is a location on at least one circle around the destination.
