Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spatial anchor technologies are static, posing challenges in managing moving spatial anchors, especially when they traverse restricted areas, requiring dynamic updates to their locations and service information for regulatory compliance, safety, and real-time service accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for dynamically creating and managing spatial anchors associated with mobile objects, involving the generation of digital assets representing spatial anchors, storage in a Digital Asset Container, and real-time updates based on the mobile object's location and service information, with mechanisms for restricted zone management and authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If spatial anchors are made static to simplify management, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates when mobile objects move through restricted areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming static spatial anchors into dynamic ones that automatically update their location information. The spatial anchor associated with a mobile object changes its position data in real-time as the mobile object moves, allowing the system to adapt to movement without increasing management complexity. This is achieved through automated location retrieval and update mechanisms that operate without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The spatial anchor system implements self-service by automatically retrieving location information from the mobile object and updating itself without external intervention. When the mobile object moves, the spatial anchor autonomously fetches new location data and refreshes its own records, eliminating the need for manual updates while maintaining adaptability to movement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If spatial anchors are dynamically updated in real-time to track mobile objects, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases due to continuous location retrieval and updates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies periodic action by updating spatial anchor locations at predetermined time intervals rather than continuously monitoring every movement. The network function retrieves location information periodically and updates the spatial anchor accordingly, reducing the time spent on updates while maintaining sufficient adaptability for most applications. This periodic approach balances real-time responsiveness with time efficiency.
3Reliability
If comprehensive location tracking is implemented to ensure regulatory compliance, then reliability is improved, but loss of information increases due to restricted zone warnings and access restrictions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing differentiated access control based on spatial location. Different restricted zones have different access rules and warning levels. When a mobile object enters a restricted zone, the system applies specific warnings or access restrictions only to that particular zone rather than globally blocking all service information. This allows comprehensive tracking for compliance while preserving information accessibility in non-restricted areas.
