CONTROL DEVICE, SYSTEM, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND MATCHING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243934 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, SYSTEM, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND MATCHING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control device that receives input data from a terminal device of a first family member in a vehicle. The input data includes information about the family composition and the family stress level. The control device then searches a database containing data about the family composition and stress levels of multiple families in individual vehicles. Based on the search result, the control device selects a second family and sends notification data to the first member, providing information on how to establish a relationship with a member of the second family.

  • The control device receives input data from a terminal device of a first family member in a vehicle.
  • The input data includes information about the family composition and the family stress level.
  • The control device searches a database containing data about the family composition and stress levels of multiple families in individual vehicles.
  • Based on the search result, the control device selects a second family.
  • The control device sends notification data to the first member, providing information on how to establish a relationship with a member of the second family.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in vehicles to facilitate social interactions between families traveling together.
  • It can be used in carpooling services to match families with similar compositions and stress levels, enhancing the overall experience.
  • The technology can be integrated into travel apps or platforms to connect families who are on similar journeys, allowing them to share experiences and support each other.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of social isolation during travel by connecting families with similar compositions and stress levels.
  • It addresses the challenge of finding compatible travel companions by using data to match families based on their specific needs and preferences.
  • The technology helps alleviate stress and boredom during long journeys by providing opportunities for social interaction and support.

Benefits

  • Families using this technology can form meaningful connections with other families, leading to potential friendships and support networks.
  • It enhances the overall travel experience by providing opportunities for social interaction and shared experiences.
  • The technology promotes a sense of community and reduces social isolation, particularly during long trips.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control device includes a communication interface that receives input data from a terminal device of a first member who is a member of a first family staying in a vehicle, the input data indicating a family composition and a family stress for the first family. A processor of the control device searches a database in which data indicating the family composition and the family stress for each of a plurality of families staying in individual vehicles is registered, using the input data received by the communication interface as a search key, selects a second family from the families based on a search result acquired, and causes the communication interface to transmit notification data that notifies the first member of information for establishing a relationship with a second member who is a member of the second family selected.
