Solution Overview

Problem

Current navigation services, particularly indoor navigation services, lack standards and are inadequate for providing seamless outdoor/indoor navigation and emergency rescue services, limiting their effectiveness and availability.

Innovation Solution

A method for providing an interactive navigation service between a rescuer and a person in need of rescue, utilizing a navigation service server that creates shared route resources, acquires position information, and delivers route and traffic information through a mobile communication network, enabling real-time updates and notifications for optimal route adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current navigation services are used, then basic route guidance is provided, but emergency rescue functionality and real-time interactive navigation are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemergency rescue functionalityVSAvoidservice coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation service server is designed to provide multiple functions including emergency rescue services, real-time navigation, traffic information, and interactive communication between rescuers and persons in need of rescue. The system can handle both regular navigation requests and emergency rescue scenarios through a unified platform, making the service adaptable to various situations while maintaining reliable emergency response capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Area of stationary object

If indoor navigation service is provided, then limited service areas are covered, but seamless outdoor/indoor navigation cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice areaVSAvoidseamless navigation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges outdoor and indoor navigation services into a unified navigation framework. The navigation service server integrates route information from both outdoor and indoor environments, allowing continuous navigation guidance when transitioning between indoor and outdoor spaces. This combination enables seamless navigation across diverse areas without service interruption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If real-time navigation information is provided to both rescuer and person in need, then rescue efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverescue efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation service server acts as an intermediary that manages and coordinates navigation information for both the rescuer and the person in need of rescue. Instead of requiring complex direct communication between the two parties, the server mediates by providing each user with appropriate route information and enabling real-time updates based on current positions and conditions, thereby improving rescue efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Speed

If standard route information is provided, then basic navigation is available, but dynamic route adjustments for emergency situations are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute adjustment speedVSAvoidreal-time traffic information
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms where the navigation service server continuously receives position information from both the rescuer and the person in need of rescue, along with current traffic conditions. Based on this feedback, the server dynamically adjusts route information and provides updated guidance, enabling rapid route adjustments in emergency situations while maintaining awareness of real-time traffic and environmental conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
