Dynamic Spatial Data Generation for Secure Service Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation systems for operational systems face challenges in providing accurate, up-to-date spatial data and blueprints, especially in large, sprawling premises, where maps may be outdated and expose sensitive information, and do not account for specific service operations or user permissions.
Innovation Solution
An extensible object model-based service navigation system that generates customizable spatial data and blueprints on demand, integrating with access control systems to mask sensitive data and provide only authorized access information, using mobile and autonomous devices for navigation and service operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional navigation maps are used for operational systems, then navigation coverage is provided, but the maps become outdated and expose sensitive information
Solution Approach 1:
The system generates spatial data dynamically on-demand based on current operational system state rather than using static pre-generated maps. The spatial data generation component creates updated representations whenever changes occur in operational systems, ensuring accuracy while controlling information exposure through dynamic updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system generates spatial data selectively based on user permissions and operational requirements. Different users receive customized spatial data representations filtered according to their access levels, ensuring sensitive information is masked while providing necessary navigation information to authorized users.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive spatial data is generated for all operational systems, then navigation accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system is divided into separate functional components: spatial data generation component, navigation component, and presentation component. The spatial data generation component handles data creation independently, while the navigation component processes this data for specific operational contexts, reducing overall system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes the extensible object model framework and spatial data generation capabilities, but actual spatial data is generated on-demand based on specific navigation requests. This preliminary preparation of infrastructure avoids the complexity of maintaining comprehensive pre-generated data for all possible scenarios.
3Reliability
If navigation data is customized for specific users and operations, then information security is improved, but data processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores operational system data in the extensible object model, maintaining a ready-to-query database structure. When navigation data is requested, the system queries and generates customized spatial data from pre-organized data rather than collecting information in real-time, reducing processing time while maintaining security customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system generates spatial data selectively based on user permissions and navigation requirements rather than providing complete data to everyone. This partial data generation approach reduces processing time by only creating and transmitting necessary information to authorized users while maintaining comprehensive data availability for security purposes.

AI summary
A service navigation system receives navigation selection input (e.g., via a navigation selection interface) with respect to service operations to be performed on an operational system located at a premises, generates spatial data based on the received input and an extensible object model (e.g., stored in a graph database) representing the operational system, transmits the spatial data to service devices associated with the operational system, and causes performance of navigation operation(s) with respect to the premises and/or the operational system based on the spatial data, including generating and presenting a blueprint depicting a selected portion of the operational system and/or premises, generating and presenting navigation data by an indoor navigation device associated with an indoor navigation system for the premises, and/or causing an autonomous mobile device to move through the operational system and/or premises based on the spatial data.
