Dynamic Location Record Generation for Undefined Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation and radio-broadcast systems lack a convenient means to identify and present location-based data for locations not associated with pre-stored location records, limiting their ability to provide information for newly developed or undefined areas.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that generate location records 'on-the-fly' by determining unassociated locations, assigning location codes, and transmitting these records for storage with pre-stored records, allowing for the adaptation of location data to include new or previously undefined locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pre-stored location records are used to identify locations, then location-based data can be presented accurately for known locations, but locations that are not associated with pre-stored location records cannot be identified
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing location records for known locations before they are needed. When a new location is encountered, the system has already established a framework for location identification that can be extended to unknown locations through dynamic record generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static set of pre-stored location records to a dynamic system that can generate new location records on-demand. This allows the location database to adapt and grow as new locations are encountered, enabling the system to handle both known and unknown locations effectively.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed set of pre-stored location records is maintained, then device complexity is reduced, but the system cannot provide location information for newly developed or undefined areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to generate their own location records dynamically when pre-stored records are insufficient. Instead of requiring a centralized system to maintain and distribute updated location databases, individual devices can autonomously create location records based on encountered locations, reducing the burden on central systems while expanding coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The location record generation mechanism serves multiple functions: it provides location identification for known locations using pre-stored records, generates new records for unknown locations, and enables both static and dynamic location databases within the same system framework.
3Productivity
If location records are pre-loaded on devices, then location-based data presentation is efficient, but updates for new locations require system-wide distribution
Solution Approach 1:
Location records are pre-loaded onto devices during manufacturing or initial setup, enabling immediate location-based data processing without requiring real-time database updates. This preliminary action ensures efficient operation while the dynamic generation capability handles future updates locally.
Solution Approach 2:
Devices autonomously generate and update their own location records without requiring centralized distribution systems. When a device encounters a new location, it creates the necessary location record locally, eliminating the time delay associated with system-wide database updates while maintaining efficient local processing.

AI summary
An approach for enabling the generation of a location record at a device based on a location not associated with a pre-stored location record is described. A location reference platform determines at least one location is not associated with one or more pre-stored location records at at least one device. The location reference platform also causes, at least in part, a generation of at least one location record for the at least one location. The location reference platform further causes, at least in part, a transmission of the at least one location record to the at least one device for storage with the one or more pre-stored location records.
