Dynamic House Number Frame Switching in Navigation Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional navigation apparatuses face difficulties in clearly displaying house numbers, leading to overlapping and confusion, making it hard for users to recognize positions and directions.
Innovation Solution
A navigation apparatus comprising a road information temporary storage module, a frame information temporary storage module, a processing module, and a display unit, which updates and dynamically displays house number information in multiple frames using GPS signals, preventing overlap and improving readability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If all house numbers are displayed on the screen, then complete information is provided, but the display becomes messy and hard to recognize
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display into multiple frames (first frame, second frame, third frame) to segment the large quantity of house number information. Each frame displays a subset of house numbers, preventing overcrowding and improving recognizability while still providing access to complete information through frame switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic frame switching based on user interaction (touching different regions). The display transitions from static overwhelming information to dynamic segmented presentation, allowing users to navigate through different frames to view specific house number information clearly.
2Area of stationary object
If icons of points of interesting are relocated, then space is optimized, but house number positions become inaccurate and directions are unclear
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the position accuracy issue by moving house number display from the map background to a separate frame dimension. House numbers are displayed in dedicated frames overlaying the map, allowing icons to be relocated for space optimization while house numbers maintain their accuracy through frame-based presentation rather than direct map positioning.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple frames of house numbers are displayed simultaneously, then all information is visible, but the display becomes overlapping and confusing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dynamic frame switching instead of simultaneous display. Multiple frames contain house number information, but only one frame is active at a time, controlled by user interaction. This dynamic approach provides access to all house number information while maintaining simple, non-overlapping display structure.

AI summary
A navigation apparatus for dynamically displaying multiple frames of house number and its method. The navigation apparatus comprises a road information temporary storage module, a frame information temporary storage module, a processing module and a display unit. The real-time road information is temporarily stored at the road information temporary storage module; a house number information, a point of interesting or user customized information is temporarily stored at the frame information temporary storage module. Furthermore, the processing module updates the real-time road information and the house number information, the point of interesting or the user customized information corresponding to real-time road information according to a global positioning system signal. The display unit displays real-time road information and plays house number information, the point of interesting or user customized information by turns.
