Dynamic Route Information for Wireless Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack an efficient and convenient method to distribute route information to multiple recipients with different locations, requiring knowledge of each recipient's current location and sending specific maps or instructions, which becomes irrelevant if the recipient's location changes.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that dynamically generate and update route information using GPS or positioning subsystems on wireless devices, allowing a sender to specify a destination, and each recipient determines their current location to generate personalized route information, with an option to use a default location if GPS is unavailable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If route information is sent to multiple recipients using conventional methods, then each recipient receives a static map or instructions, but the information becomes irrelevant if the recipient's location changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic route information by enabling recipients to determine their current location using GPS or positioning subsystems. The system automatically generates and updates route information based on real-time location data, transforming static route maps into dynamic, location-aware guidance that adapts as recipients move, thereby maintaining accuracy without requiring manual updates
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows each recipient's wireless communications device to autonomously determine its own current location using built-in GPS or positioning subsystems. Each device independently generates personalized route information from its current location to the destination, eliminating the need for the sender to track or know each recipient's location, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining reliability
2Reliability
If personalized route information is generated for each recipient, then route accuracy improves, but the effort and time required to distribute information increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each recipient's device automatically determines its own current location using GPS or positioning subsystems and generates personalized route information independently. This self-service approach eliminates the need for the sender to manually create and distribute customized route information to each recipient, reducing the time and effort required while maintaining high accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures wireless communications devices with GPS chipsets and positioning capabilities before route information is needed. When a recipient receives a destination, the device already has the necessary positioning infrastructure in place to immediately determine current location and generate route information, eliminating setup delays
3Adaptability or versatility
If the sender transmits specific maps or instructions to each recipient, then route information is customized, but multiple transmissions are required increasing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal solution where a single destination transmission serves multiple recipients simultaneously. Each recipient's device independently generates personalized route information based on its own current location, eliminating the need for multiple separate transmissions. The system achieves customization for all recipients through one universal action, reducing transmission complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the route information generation process by assigning each recipient's device to independently determine its own current location and generate its own personalized route. This segmentation allows each device to self-customize its route information without requiring the sender to create separate transmissions for each recipient, reducing overall system complexity

AI summary
Dynamically updated route information is provided to a user of a wireless communications device. The method involves receiving a destination location, determining a current location of the device, generating a route from the current location of the device to the destination location, and providing route information to the user representing the route from the current location to the destination location. Dynamic updating can be achieved by updating the current location of the device and dynamically updating the route information based on an updated current location of the device so as to provide dynamic route information to the user.
