In-Vehicle Facility Guidance Output Beyond Map Coverage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing route guidance systems fail to provide facility guidance and advertisement within specific areas not covered by map data, limiting the ability to offer appropriate information to users arriving at facilities.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires facility guidance and character information, outputs route and facility guidance based on positional information, and provides character-based guidance using a facility server to enhance user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If route guidance is provided using map data for navigation systems, then route guidance functionality is available, but facility guidance and advertisement cannot be provided in specific areas not covered by map data
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the guidance functionality into two independent modules: route guidance module (using map data) and facility guidance module (using facility information data). This segmentation allows each module to operate independently with its own data source, enabling facility guidance to be provided in areas where map data is unavailable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a facility information data structure as an intermediary that bridges the gap between navigation systems and facility information. This data structure contains facility identifiers, location information, and advertisement data, allowing the system to access facility guidance information without relying on comprehensive map data coverage.
2Ease of operation
If map data is used for navigation, then route guidance is available, but appropriate facility information cannot be provided to users arriving at facilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring and storing facility information data (including facility identifiers, location data, and advertisement information) before the vehicle arrives at the facility. This advance preparation ensures that when the vehicle reaches the facility, the guidance information is immediately available for output, improving user experience without requiring real-time map data access.
3Area of stationary object
If a comprehensive map data system is implemented to cover all areas, then complete coverage is achieved, but system complexity and data requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of implementing a comprehensive map data system with uniform detail across all areas, the system applies local quality by providing detailed facility information only in specific areas where facilities exist. The facility information data structure contains localized data about facilities, advertisements, and guidance information only where needed, rather than maintaining comprehensive data for all geographic areas.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes an information acquisition unit, an output unit and a control unit. The information acquisition unit acquires route guidance information for providing guidance on the route of the vehicle in the facility, facility guidance information for providing guidance on predetermined information on each location in the facility, and character information for outputting a character related to the facility, when the vehicle enters a predetermined range with reference to a facility. The control unit causes the output unit to output the character based on the character information, and causes the output unit to output at least one of route guidance and facility guidance based on the route guidance information and the facility guidance information. The control unit changes an output mode of the character output from the output unit according to the route guidance or the facility guidance output from the output unit.
