Group Navigation Linking for Secure Data Sharing and Media Timing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to efficiently consume audiovisual media during travel due to mismatched playback durations and lack of dynamic adjustment, and there is a need for improved data protection and sharing among devices in group navigation scenarios.
Innovation Solution
Systems and methods for adjusting playback rates of audiovisual media based on predicted travel durations and linking devices while protecting consumer data, ensuring complete media consumption and secure data sharing among group members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If media playback duration is fixed at default speed, then media content is preserved in its original form, but media cannot be completely consumed during travel time
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts playback speed based on predicted travel duration. The processor calculates estimated travel time using route parameters and real-time data, then automatically modifies playback rate to ensure media completes exactly when travel ends, transforming static playback into adaptive dynamic playback.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the playback speed parameter based on travel conditions. By modifying the playback rate parameter according to calculated travel duration, the system ensures media consumption efficiency without requiring user manual intervention, directly resolving the contradiction between fixed duration and consumption efficiency.
2Productivity
If playback rate is increased to fit travel duration, then media consumption efficiency improves, but user experience deteriorates due to rushed playback
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring travel progress and adjusting playback speed accordingly. As the vehicle approaches the destination, the playback rate automatically slows down to ensure natural conclusion of media, providing feedback-based adaptive control that maintains both efficiency and user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
Rather than applying a fixed high-speed playback rate, the system uses dynamic adjustment where playback speed varies throughout the journey. This allows efficient consumption during most of the travel while maintaining natural pacing near the end, resolving the experience quality issue.
3Adaptability or versatility
If devices share navigation data in group navigation, then coordination among group members improves, but data privacy and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary layer that processes and anonymizes location data before sharing among group members. Instead of direct device-to-device data exchange, the intermediary handles data aggregation, filtering, and selective sharing, maintaining coordination while protecting individual device privacy and security.
4Adaptability or versatility
If playback speed is manually adjusted by user, then playback can be customized, but user convenience decreases due to additional manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically calculating travel duration, selecting appropriate media, and adjusting playback speed without user intervention. The processor uses available route parameters and real-time data to autonomously optimize playback settings, eliminating manual adjustment requirements while maintaining customization benefits.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for linking devices and protecting data during group navigation is presented. One method may include one or more steps including receiving a link up request; establishing one or more data channels with the inviter device; providing the link up request to a plurality of invitee devices; in response to receiving a first acceptance of the link up request from a first invitee device of the plurality of invitee devices, linking the inviter device and the first invitee device; collecting, via the one or more data channels, environmental data from one or more of the plurality of invitee devices; and executing an action based at least in part on the environmental data from the one or more of the plurality of invitee devices.
