Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional navigation programs are executed on electronic devices, then navigation functionality is provided, but the operation interface is not intuitive and user experience quality is significantly reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional mechanical interaction interfaces (buttons, menus, keyboards) with an optical-based augmented reality interface. Virtual signs and directional indicators are overlaid on the real-world environment through the camera viewfinder, allowing users to interact with navigation information visually and intuitively without manipulating complex operation systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional screen-based navigation displays to three-dimensional spatial navigation indicators. Virtual signs and directional arrows are positioned in 3D space relative to the user's actual location and orientation, providing depth perception and spatial context that enhances intuitive understanding of direction and distance.
2Productivity
If pattern recognition is performed locally on the electronic device, then navigation can be executed, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex pattern recognition and coordinate calculation functions from the electronic device and relocates them to a remote server. The electronic device only needs to capture images and transmit them, while the server performs the computationally intensive tasks of pattern matching against the database and calculating precise coordinates, significantly reducing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the electronic device and the navigation database. The server acts as a mediator that receives images from the device, performs pattern recognition against stored patterns, calculates coordinates, and returns navigation information, thereby simplifying the device architecture while maintaining full navigation functionality.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a navigation system that includes an electronic device and a cloud server. The electronic device is configured to capture an environmental image, and to transmit the environmental image and a target information. The cloud server is configured to store several default patterns, and each of the default patterns corresponds to a default coordinate. The cloud server analyzes a pattern image of the environmental image according to the default patterns to calculate a coordinate of the electronic device, so as to execute navigation according to the coordinate of the electronic device and the target information.
