Solution Overview

Problem

Existing navigation systems face inefficiencies in transmitting and receiving real-time traffic information, often providing delayed or irrelevant data due to the lack of precise search conditions and user-friendly interfaces for configuring search parameters.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that configure search conditions including search direction, range, and location, allowing for the selective receipt of relevant information by transmitting these conditions through a communication unit when specific events occur, providing an intuitive user interface for easy configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If real-time traffic information is transmitted to all terminals, then information coverage is improved, but transmission efficiency and resource utilization deteriorate due to sending irrelevant information to unnecessary regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by dividing the service area into multiple regions and assigning different information types to different regions. Each terminal receives only the information relevant to its specific location, ensuring that information coverage is maintained for all regions while transmission efficiency is improved by avoiding unnecessary data transmission to terminals outside the relevant regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive search conditions are configured, then information accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple parameters requiring user input

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple types of search conditions (location-based, time-based, event-based) that can be automatically selected and applied. This allows the system to maintain high information accuracy through comprehensive search parameters while reducing system complexity by automating the selection and management of these parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually configure each parameter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
