Cross-device Navigation Task Synchronization via Transfer Modules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In navigation technologies, users face inefficiencies when switching between different navigation scenarios, such as walking and driving, as they need to repeatedly set navigation tasks on multiple terminals, leading to increased configuration operations and reduced task setting efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A cross-device navigation task synchronization method that allows navigation data to be automatically transferred and synchronized between terminals when specific conditions are met, using navigation transfer modules to generate and transmit synchronization information, enabling cross-device and cross-application navigation data transfer without requiring the same navigation application on both terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If navigation task settings are performed manually on multiple terminals for different navigation scenarios, then navigation can be completed across different devices, but navigation task setting efficiency decreases and repeated configuration operations increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the navigation task data from the first terminal and transmits it to the second terminal. The navigation transfer module on the first terminal obtains navigation data from the navigation application and generates navigation synchronization information, which is then transmitted to the second terminal. This copying mechanism allows the same navigation task to be replicated across multiple devices without requiring manual reconfiguration, thereby resolving the contradiction between cross-device adaptability and task setting efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automatic navigation task synchronization without requiring user intervention. When the navigation transfer module detects that cross-device transmission conditions are met, it automatically obtains navigation data, generates synchronization information, and transmits it to other terminals. The navigation task is automatically updated on the second terminal based on the received synchronization information, eliminating the need for repeated manual configuration operations and significantly improving task setting efficiency.
2Reliability
If the same navigation application is required on both terminals for data transfer, then data synchronization accuracy is maintained, but device compatibility and application scope are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a navigation transfer module as an intermediary component that sits between different navigation applications on different terminals. This transfer module acts as a standardized interface that can extract navigation data from various navigation applications and transmit it across devices. By using this intermediary layer, the system maintains data synchronization accuracy without requiring the same navigation application on both terminals, thereby enabling cross-application and cross-device compatibility while preserving reliability.

AI summary
This disclosure provides synchronization methods and apparatuses for cross-device navigation tasks. One method includes: a first terminal obtains navigation data from a first navigation application through a first navigation transfer module in response to a preset cross-device transmission condition is satisfied. The first terminal generates navigation synchronization information of the navigation data through the first navigation transfer module. A second terminal receives the navigation synchronization information sent by the first terminal, and transmits the navigation synchronization information to a second navigation application through a second navigation transfer module, and updates a navigation task of a second navigation application based on the navigation synchronization information.
