Georeferenced Message System Using Intermediary Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for generating, transmitting, and exchanging georeferenced messages (GN) lack flexibility, are limited to one-way communication, and are not portable, making them unsuitable for mobile and emergency operations where precise location information is crucial.
Innovation Solution
A mobile system that allows bidirectional communication of GN between mobile devices and central stations, enabling direct communication between mobile devices and multiple centers, with the option to link geodata freely with messages, and display coordinates on maps for clear understanding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If radiotelephony communication is used for spatial-temporal recording and coordination, then communication can be maintained in tense situations, but location information accuracy deteriorates because it depends on the transmitter's knowledge and ability to decipher house numbers or street signs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central station as an intermediary that receives messages from mobile devices, automatically determines their positions using GPS or other localization data, and attaches precise georeferenced information to the messages. This mediator resolves the contradiction by providing accurate location data without requiring the mobile user to manually identify or communicate their position.
2Measurement precision
If automatic position information systems like those in commercial aviation are implemented, then precise location information can be transmitted, but the system complexity and cost increase making it unsuitable for portable operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the central station universal by enabling it to serve multiple functions: receiving messages from various mobile devices, determining positions using multiple localization methods (GPS, cell tower triangulation, IP address geolocation), and distributing messages to multiple recipients. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide aviation-level position accuracy through a simplified, portable architecture that doesn't require complex onboard equipment at each mobile device.
3Ease of manufacture
If one-way communication systems like those described in Yoshida or Lemelson patents are used, then message transmission with georeferenced information can be achieved, but bidirectional communication and flexibility are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic communication architecture where mobile devices can both send messages to the central station and receive broadcast messages from it. The system adapts to different operational modes: one-way communication when only reporting is needed, two-way communication when coordination is required, and selective broadcasting when multiple recipients need information. This dynamic flexibility resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to operate in the simplest mode sufficient for each situation while maintaining the capability for more complex operations when needed.

AI summary
The method involves generating an information (3) in a transmitter. Another information is generated in the transmitter in form of a geo reference by a Global positioning system or similar localizing system and a stored reference system, particularly a stored card. The transmitter combines both the information and transmits as uniform geo reference information to receiver. The receiver (4) separates both the combined information from the received uniform geo reference information, and represents the former information as geo referenced, directly in its spatial surroundings. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for generating, transmission or for exchange of different information combined with each other (2) a transceiver for a system (3) a messaging server for a system.
