Interactive Glasses Navigation System for Museum Exhibits
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Visitors in large and complex museum environments face challenges in navigating to specific exhibits efficiently, leading to wasted time and overcrowding, as existing systems lack intuitive and comprehensive ways to locate and access information about exhibits.
Innovation Solution
Interactive glasses equipped with a positioning unit, processing unit, and display unit that provide location information and route guidance to target exhibits, allowing users to see a thumbnail map of the route and access detailed information about exhibits without needing to check message boards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If visitors navigate manually in large museum environments, then they can explore exhibits, but they waste time finding locations and cause overcrowding
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system enables visitors to independently locate exhibits and obtain information through wearable glasses with automatic positioning, route guidance, and exhibit database access, eliminating the need for manual inquiry and staff assistance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual navigation methods with an automated electronic system comprising positioning units, processing units, display units, and communication modules that provide real-time route guidance and exhibit information
2Loss of information
If visitors check message boards for exhibit information, then they can learn about exhibits, but they cannot obtain comprehensive information intuitively
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system integrates multiple functions including positioning, route guidance, exhibit database access, and information display into a single wearable device, allowing visitors to obtain comprehensive exhibit information through one interface rather than checking multiple message boards
Solution Approach 2:
The processing unit acts as an intermediary between the exhibit database and the visitor, automatically retrieving and presenting comprehensive exhibit information based on the current location and target exhibit, eliminating the need for manual information gathering
3Adaptability or versatility
If the museum area expands to display more exhibits, then more exhibits can be displayed, but navigation becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system dynamically adjusts route guidance based on real-time positioning data and visitor input, automatically recalculating optimal paths as visitors move through the expanded museum space, making navigation adaptable to any museum layout regardless of size
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 users to quickly locate target exhibits and access detailed information, reducing navigation time and improving the visitor experience by providing real-time location and information through a wearable navigation system.
Implementation Method 1
the projection lens is arranged between the display panel and the optical film, and is used for refracting light emitted from the display panel to be parallel light emitted to the optical film
Implementation Method 2
the optical film is capable of reflecting the parallel light to the lens, and the parallel light then enters into an eye through the lens
Implementation Method 3
the optical film is a transflective film, which is capable of transmitting ambient light to the lens while reflecting the parallel light

AI summary
The present invention provides interactive glasses including a frame, a lens, and a positioning unit, a processing unit and a display unit all fixed to the frame. The positioning unit is used for obtaining location information of current location of the interactive glasses; the processing unit is used for obtaining a relative location relation between the current location and a target location and the information of a route from the current location to the target location according to the location information of the current location and the target location; and the display unit is used for displaying image information of the route from the current location to the target location. Accordingly, the present invention further provides a navigation system. The interactive glasses can provide route from the current location to the target location for users to enable users to reach the target location quickly.
