Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous mobility systems face challenges in sharing position information across different coordinate systems, limiting their ability to coordinate movements effectively between various devices and systems.
Innovation Solution
A control system that includes a conversion information storing unit to convert space information between different reference systems, associating unique identifiers with space information, and a control unit to generate route information for mobile objects based on this converted data, enabling seamless coordination across multiple reference systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a local coordinate system is used for autonomous mobility, then the mobility can perceive local space accurately, but the position information cannot be shared with other devices using different reference systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a coordinate conversion unit as an intermediary component that converts between the local coordinate system (used by autonomous mobility for accurate local perception) and the global coordinate system (used by multiple devices for shared position information). This mediator enables communication and data exchange between devices using different reference systems without requiring each device to adopt a unified coordinate system, thus resolving the contradiction between local measurement precision and global adaptability.
2Ease of operation
If different reference systems are used by different devices, then each device can optimize its local operations, but coordination and collaboration between devices become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal coordinate conversion mechanism that enables the system to handle multiple reference systems simultaneously. The conversion unit is designed to work with any local coordinate system while outputting to a standardized global coordinate system, making the system universally compatible across different devices and applications. This multi-functional approach allows each device to maintain its optimized local operations while seamlessly integrating into the broader coordinated system.
