Group Navigation Regrouping Points for Separated User Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing navigation systems lack the ability to efficiently manage joint positional tracking for multiple users or vehicles, particularly in scenarios where users become separated from the group, requiring manual intervention to rejoin.
Innovation Solution
A navigation service that initiates a joint positional tracking session, periodically updates user positions, and automatically generates route adjustments to bring users back within a threshold separation, using predicted travel data and user preferences to suggest regrouping waypoints or alternate routes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual intervention is required for users to rejoin the group after separation, then individual user control is maintained, but navigation efficiency and group coordination deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system automatically detects when a user separates from the group and autonomously generates route adjustments to bring the user back to the group, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining system simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes regrouping waypoints and alternate routes in advance based on predicted travel data, so that when separation occurs, the system can immediately execute pre-planned regrouping actions without delay
2Loss of energy
If individual device intervention is required for route adjustments, then user autonomy is maintained, but resource use and system optimization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors user positions and separation parameters, providing real-time feedback that triggers automatic route adjustments when threshold separation is detected, optimizing resource use without requiring user awareness or action
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation service acts as an intermediary between users and the routing system, automatically managing route adjustments and regrouping actions without requiring direct user-device interaction
3Adaptability or versatility
If generic route adjustments are applied to all users, then system simplicity is maintained, but user acceptance and personalization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different route adjustment strategies to different users based on their specific separation circumstances, using predicted travel data and user preferences to personalize regrouping routes while maintaining overall system simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts route parameters such as regrouping waypoints and alternate routes based on real-time separation data and predicted travel patterns, enabling personalized navigation without complex manual configuration

AI summary
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for providing dynamic grouping and regrouping for users in a joint positional tracking session. The method includes receiving positional data associated with a first user and at least one other user in the plurality of users in the joint positional tracking session. The method includes determining that a separation parameter associated with the first user has exceeded a threshold separation value, the separation parameter associated with the first user representing a distance between the first user and one other user in the plurality of users. The method includes automatically generating navigational data for reducing the separation parameter between the first user and one other user in the joint positional tracking session to below the threshold separation value. The method includes transmitting the navigational data to at least the first user in the joint positional tracking session.
