Dynamic Route Media Generation for Navigation Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation systems lack the ability to dynamically generate and transmit route media, such as video information, that adapts to user input and changes in the route, particularly for sections with turns, which can enhance user guidance and navigation experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate route media, including video in formats like avi, mpeg, or mov, based on user input and GPS information, allowing dynamic refreshment of video information and transmission between devices, with a focus on displaying more screens for sections with turns to improve navigation clarity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If route information is displayed on a display device, then navigation guidance is provided, but the ability to dynamically adapt to user input and route changes is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates route media (video information) based on real-time route changes and user input. The media player can pause, resume, and seek through pre-generated video segments corresponding to different route sections, allowing the navigation system to adapt flexibly to changing conditions without requiring complete system redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-generates route media for various possible route sections before actual navigation occurs. This allows the system to have ready-made video guidance for different scenarios (turns, intersections, road types) and quickly select the appropriate pre-generated media when navigation situations arise, improving adaptability without real-time processing delays
2Ease of operation
If video information is generated and transmitted between devices, then navigation guidance is enhanced, but data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The route media is divided into discrete segments corresponding to specific route sections (e.g., individual turns, intersections, or road segments). Each segment is independently generated and can be transmitted separately, allowing the system to send only the necessary portions of video information rather than the entire route, thereby reducing total data transmission volume while maintaining guidance quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of route media in different formats and resolutions suitable for various display devices. Instead of transmitting a single large video file, the system generates appropriately scaled and formatted video segments that can be efficiently transmitted and displayed on different devices, reducing data requirements while preserving navigation guidance effectiveness
3Measurement precision
If more screens are displayed for route sections with turns, then navigation clarity is improved, but processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different levels of detail and screen generation to different route sections based on their importance. Route sections with turns and intersections receive more detailed video coverage with more screens, while straight sections with fewer changes have reduced screen coverage. This localized approach improves navigation clarity where needed without uniformly increasing processing power requirements across the entire route
Data Source
AI summary
Route information for a route from a departure location to a destination location is generated. The generated route information is displayed on a first display of a first device. User input based upon the route information displayed on the first display of the first device is received at the first device. Route media is generated at the first device in response to the received user input. The generated route media is different than the route information displayed on the display of the first device. The generated route media is transmitted from the first device to a second device. The second device includes a second display.
