Walking Support System Dynamic Route Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Night walk events lack participant freedom in route choice, leading to repetitive and unengaging experiences, and attempting to provide route freedom can result in confusion or loss.
Innovation Solution
A walking support system that determines a recommended route for participants and guides them to it without restricting access to non-recommended routes, using effect devices for sensory stimulation and state detection to enhance the experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single predetermined route is provided for participants, then participants do not need to worry about where to go, but participants have almost no freedom to choose their actions and the experience remains constant
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically determines recommended routes based on real-time participant locations and movement patterns. The route recommendations are not fixed but adapt as participants move through the space, allowing the system to provide guidance while maintaining participant freedom to explore different paths and discover new experiences.
2Adaptability or versatility
If freedom is provided for participants to choose their actions, then participants have route choice freedom, but participants may become lost or concerned about whether they have chosen an appropriate route
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously tracks participant locations using state detection devices and provides real-time feedback through recommended route determinations. This feedback loop allows participants to make informed choices about their routes while the system monitors their progress and adjusts recommendations accordingly, preventing participants from becoming lost or uncertain about their choices.
3Productivity
If repeated participation is encouraged, then participant engagement increases, but the experience remains constant and does not lead to unknown discoveries or unforeseen occurrences
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes recommended routes based on participant history and real-time conditions, ensuring that even repeated participants encounter different experiences. The dynamic route determination considers past participation patterns to suggest new paths and discoveries, making each visit unique while maintaining engagement.

AI summary
A walking support system including processing circuitry for determining a recommended route for a participant in a space where the participant can choose and walk along a route, and guiding the participant to the recommended route without restricting entry of the participant into a non-recommended route, which is a different route to the recommended route.
