Dynamic Information System for Real-Time Road and Parking Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information providing systems fail to deliver dynamic and user-preferred information, such as real-time road drivability and parking availability, as they primarily offer static map data and do not account for the user's preferences or the actual movement of vehicles and people.
Innovation Solution
An information providing system that captures image information from moving objects and roadside cameras, generating dynamic additional information on road drivability and parking availability, which is then displayed to users, allowing for real-time route guidance and selection based on these factors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If static map data is provided, then information completeness is improved, but information freshness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges static map database information with dynamic image information from multiple vehicles and roadside cameras to create a comprehensive information providing system that delivers both complete and fresh information simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static map data to dynamic real-time information by capturing and processing images from moving vehicles and roadside cameras, enabling the provision of fresh information while maintaining completeness through multiple data sources
2Device complexity
If image information from forward vehicle only is provided, then system complexity is reduced, but information reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines image information from multiple vehicles and roadside cameras to provide comprehensive and reliable information while maintaining manageable system complexity through centralized processing
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal information providing mechanism that can process and utilize images from various sources (forward vehicles, other vehicles, roadside cameras) to deliver reliable information for multiple purposes including route selection and parking availability
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic information processing is added, then information usefulness is improved, but device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information providing server as an intermediary that handles the complex processing of dynamic information from multiple sources, allowing the system to provide useful dynamic information while keeping individual vehicle systems relatively simple
