INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492225 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The information processing apparatus calculates a fee for applying a second coating film to a vehicle, with the fee being lower for leased vehicles compared to non-leased vehicles.

  • The innovation involves a controller that calculates a fee for applying a second coating film to a vehicle, with the fee being lower for leased vehicles compared to non-leased vehicles.
  • The controller calculates the fee by subtracting a specific value from the fee for non-leased vehicles.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in the automotive industry for vehicles that are leased or rented out, where a second coating film is applied to protect the vehicle's original coating.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of determining fees for applying additional coating films to vehicles, taking into account whether the vehicle is leased or not.

Benefits

- Allows for accurate calculation of fees for applying second coating films to vehicles - Provides a cost-effective solution for leased vehicles - Helps in maintaining the quality and appearance of vehicles over time

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Coating Fees for Leased Vehicles in the Automotive Industry

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems or methods for calculating fees for applying additional coating films to vehicles, but the specific approach of adjusting fees based on whether the vehicle is leased or not may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall cost of vehicle maintenance for leasing companies?

This article does not delve into the potential cost savings or implications for leasing companies that may arise from the adjusted fees for applying second coating films to leased vehicles.

What are the environmental implications of applying multiple coating films to vehicles?

The article does not address any potential environmental concerns or considerations related to the application of multiple coating films on vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus calculates a fee for applying a second coating film including an easily removable layer to a first vehicle having a first coating film applied thereon. The information processing apparatus disclosed herein has a controller that calculates a first fee defined as a fee for applying the second coating film to the first vehicle that is for lease lower than a second fee defined as a fee for applying the second coating film to the first vehicle that is not for lease. In other words, the controller calculates the first fee by subtracting a first subtraction value from the second fee.
