Geofenced AI Map Data Publishing for Automatic Mobile Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for accessing important documents and digital media in a workplace are cumbersome, requiring manual distribution and lack location-based retrieval, leading to potential loss or deletion, and require senders to anticipate user needs.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing geofencing technology to attach pre-planned map data to specific geographic areas, allowing immediate retrieval on mobile devices when entering those areas, including interactive maps, alerts, and emergency response features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If documents are distributed via email or text, then documents can be sent to users, but users may lose or delete the documents and the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to automatically retrieve documents and digital media by entering geofenced areas with their mobile devices. The system self-services by detecting user location via GPS and pushing relevant content without requiring manual distribution, email composition, or user initiation, thereby eliminating the cumbersome exchange process while ensuring reliable access through location-based automatic delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between document storage and user access. The server receives location data from mobile devices, matches it with geofenced areas containing attached digital media, and automatically delivers the appropriate content. This intermediary system replaces direct manual distribution with an automated mediation process that ensures reliable document delivery without user intervention
2Reliability
If senders manually distribute documents, then documents can be delivered, but senders must know when users need the documents
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors user location data through GPS tracking and provides feedback to the server. When a user enters a geofenced area, the system automatically triggers document delivery based on pre-configured associations between locations and digital media. This feedback mechanism eliminates the need for senders to anticipate user needs, as the system automatically detects and responds to user presence in real-time
Solution Approach 2:
The system requires preliminary configuration where senders pre-attach digital media to specific geofenced areas before users arrive. This preliminary action stores the association between locations and documents in advance, so when users enter those areas, the correct documents are automatically delivered without requiring any real-time decision-making or anticipation by senders
3Ease of operation
If location-based retrieval is implemented, then documents can be automatically delivered to users, but the system requires GPS tracking and geofencing infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The system leverages the universal GPS capability already present in modern mobile devices for navigation and location-based services. By reusing this existing infrastructure for document delivery purposes, the patent avoids requiring specialized tracking hardware, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining ease of operation through automatic location-based retrieval
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables efficient, location-based delivery of relevant documents and media, providing interactive escape routes, alerts, and emergency information to users within geofenced areas, enhancing safety and efficiency in emergency situations.
Implementation Method 1
wherein a global positioning system of the mobile computing device determines if the mobile computing device is within the at least one geofence
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for publishing AI map data to an end user at a specified location includes a computing device. The computing device displays a map portion of an area on a digital display. The computing device receives at least one selection by a primary user for a portion of the area represented by the map, creating at least one geofence, and the computing device may attach digital media to the at least one first geofence by the primary user. The map data is retrievable from a mobile computing device of an end user when the mobile computing device is within a location corresponding to the at least one geofence.
