Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional navigation systems provide the same routing instructions regardless of user behavior, leading to user disregard in familiar areas and inadequate guidance in unfamiliar areas, posing a challenge for service providers to personalize routing instructions effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system that determines previous user behaviors, such as deviations from or adherence to calculated routes, to create a predictive model that anticipates and adjusts routing instructions based on user behavior, providing personalized navigation guidance by varying the amount, timing, and frequency of instructions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the same routing instructions are provided repeatedly under the same conditions, then the routing instructions remain consistent and simple to manage, but the user ultimately ignores or disregards the instructions, particularly in familiar areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting instruction consistencyVSAvoiduser adherence to routing instructions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts routing instructions based on user behavior patterns, familiarity with areas, and real-time context. Instead of providing static identical instructions, the system modifies the amount, type, and frequency of guidance delivered to the user, transforming the rigid instruction delivery into an adaptive process that responds to user needs and behaviors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops that monitor user responses to routing instructions, tracking whether users follow directions, deviate from routes, or indicate confusion. This feedback is used to continuously refine and personalize future routing instructions, creating a closed-loop system that improves effectiveness over time based on actual user behavior data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If personalized routing instructions are provided based on user behavior prediction, then user experience and route adherence improve, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute adherenceVSAvoidpredictive modeling system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user behavior patterns and creates predictive models in advance, before actual navigation is needed. By pre-processing user data, identifying behavior patterns, and establishing baseline profiles, the system reduces the computational burden during real-time navigation, as the heavy lifting of pattern recognition has already been completed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments users into different behavior profiles or categories based on their navigation patterns, familiarity levels, and response characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to apply different routing strategies to different user groups, simplifying the overall complexity by handling diverse user needs through standardized profile-based approaches rather than fully custom individualized models for each user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An approach is provided for determining one or more previous behaviors made by at least one user traveling at least one calculated route. The one or more previous behaviors include, at least in part, one or more deviations from, one or more matches on, or a combination thereof for the at least one calculated route. The approach involves determining one or more predictor values for one or more predictors associated with the one or more previous behaviors. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a creation of at least one predictive model based, at least in part, on the one or more predictor values. The at least one predictive model is used to predict one or more potential behaviors by the at least one user while traveling the at least one calculated route, at least one other route, or a combination thereof.
