Geo-Temporal Map Allocation for Dynamic Inventory Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current GPS and mapping solutions are inadequate in accounting for small-scale geographical and temporal changes, as they often update maps infrequently, leading to lost changes between updates.
Innovation Solution
The Ad Hoc Item Geo Temporal Location and Allocation Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (GeoTemp) transforms user requests into location maps, booking systems, and inventory allocation by integrating user interface components like map region, layout, and product order components, enabling real-time updates and dynamic allocation of resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If maps are updated infrequently to reduce system complexity, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision of geographical changes is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static periodic map updates to dynamic event-driven updates. Small-scale geographical changes trigger immediate update events, while large-scale changes initiate comprehensive map refreshes. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt update frequency based on actual change magnitude, resolving the contradiction between update frequency and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments geographical changes into two categories: small-scale changes (local modifications) and large-scale changes (comprehensive updates). This segmentation allows the system to apply different update strategies to different types of changes, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining precision for detected changes through targeted updates.
2Measurement precision
If real-time updates are implemented to improve resource allocation accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic update scheduling that adjusts real-time monitoring based on change magnitude. Small-scale changes trigger localized updates, while large-scale changes activate comprehensive refresh protocols. This dynamic strategy provides real-time accuracy when needed without maintaining constant high-level monitoring, thus reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by implementing location-specific update strategies. When a small-scale change is detected in a particular geographical area, only that local region is updated rather than the entire map system. This localized approach maintains geo-location accuracy for changed areas while reducing the complexity burden of system-wide real-time updates.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive map updates are performed to ensure complete information accuracy, then loss of information is reduced, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments update operations into small-scale change updates and large-scale change updates. This segmentation ensures that comprehensive information accuracy is maintained for detected changes while avoiding unnecessary full system updates. By updating only the necessary portions, the system minimizes information loss without incurring the time penalty of comprehensive updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by performing updates only to the extent necessary to capture detected geographical changes. Rather than always executing comprehensive map updates, the system performs partial updates targeted at specific changed regions. This approach maintains information accuracy for relevant areas while significantly reducing update cycle time.
