Solution Overview

Problem

Current planar maps used for rock climbing and mountain climbing fail to accurately represent the complex actual conditions of rock walls and mountains, limiting their reference effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

A route processing method that obtains and displays three-dimensional climbing routes and target points on a three-dimensional model, using wearable devices to collect and integrate altitude and coordinate data, and superimposing this information on a three-dimensional model for enhanced accuracy and reference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If planar maps are used to represent climbing routes, then the map form is simple and easy to display, but the accuracy of reflecting real climbing conditions is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of reflecting real climbing conditionsVSAvoidmap representation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the traditional two-dimensional planar map into a three-dimensional representation by superimposing climbing route data (including altitude and position information) onto a three-dimensional terrain model. This dimensional transition enables accurate reflection of real climbing conditions while maintaining visual clarity through spatial visualization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If three-dimensional climbing routes are obtained and displayed on three-dimensional models, then the accuracy of representing real climbing conditions is improved, but the complexity of data processing and display is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of representing real climbing conditionsVSAvoiddata processing and display complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a three-dimensional terrain model as an intermediary base layer, upon which climbing route data (positions, altitudes) are superimposed. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system by providing a pre-existing framework that reduces the complexity of processing and displaying three-dimensional climbing information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If wearable devices are used to collect altitude and coordinate data, then the accuracy of climbing route recording is improved, but the complexity of data collection and integration is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of climbing route recordingVSAvoiddata collection and integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes wearable devices that perform multiple functions: collecting altitude data, recording position coordinates, and capturing climbing route information simultaneously. This multi-functionality reduces the overall system complexity by consolidating multiple data collection tasks into a single device while maintaining high measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
