Solution Overview

Problem

Existing trip planning and navigation tools lack responsiveness to real-time changes and predictive capabilities, requiring users to consult multiple sources for information that was previously integrated in paper atlases, which are no longer practical with the rise of digital technology.

Innovation Solution

A digital atlas system on mobile devices that collects activity data, identifies relevant real-time sensor data, and combines it with user profile and static data to generate and deliver personalized notifications for trip planning and navigation, providing integrated information on weather, traffic, transit, events, and other relevant factors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If multiple digital sources (websites and applications) are used to replace paper atlas information, then information accessibility is improved, but system complexity and user effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate data sources (real-time sensor data, user profile data, and static data) into a unified digital atlas system that processes and delivers integrated trip planning information through a single interface, eliminating the need for users to consult multiple separate websites and applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The digital atlas system performs multiple functions including real-time trip planning, predictive analytics, personalized notification delivery, and integration of diverse data types (sensor data, user profiles, static information) within a single platform, replacing the need for multiple specialized tools

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

2Reliability

If traditional paper atlases are replaced with digital tools, then information update capability is improved, but responsiveness to real-time changes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation update capabilityVSAvoidresponsiveness to real-time changes
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically processes real-time sensor data (such as traffic conditions, weather updates, and location information) to continuously update trip recommendations and predictions, enabling the digital atlas to respond immediately to changing conditions rather than relying on static pre-planned routes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates real-time feedback loops where sensor data from mobile devices and external sources continuously informs and adjusts trip planning recommendations, allowing the system to adapt to current conditions and predict future changes based on ongoing data streams

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If generic digital navigation tools are used, then basic navigation functionality is provided, but personalization and relevance of notifications are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebasic navigation functionalityVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system tailors notifications and trip recommendations to individual user preferences, behaviors, and contextual needs by analyzing user profile data and delivering personalized content rather than generic information, making each user experience unique and relevant to their specific situation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user profiles, preferences, and historical behavior patterns to pre-configure personalized notification settings and trip planning parameters, enabling the system to deliver relevant personalized information without requiring extensive user setup or configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
