Solution Overview

Problem

Existing navigation systems face challenges in providing timely and accurate lane-level navigation due to large data amounts and poor network connectivity, especially in areas like tunnels or canyons, leading to inefficient route updates and user experience issues.

Innovation Solution

A navigation system that segments the route into manageable segments, obtaining high-precision road data for each segment, especially in poor-network areas, and switches to road-level navigation when high-precision data is unavailable, ensuring timely and accurate lane-level guidance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If lane-level navigation data is downloaded completely before navigation, then navigation precision is improved, but download time becomes excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation precisionVSAvoiddownload time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation route is divided into multiple route segments, and high-precision road data is downloaded and displayed segment by segment rather than all at once. This allows the system to provide lane-level navigation precision for the current segment while avoiding the need to download the entire route data in advance, significantly reducing download time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system downloads high-precision road data for the next route segment in advance before the vehicle actually reaches it. This preliminary action ensures that when the vehicle enters the next segment, the data is already available for immediate display, maintaining navigation precision without requiring complete route data download beforehand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If high-precision road data is downloaded in advance for all route segments, then navigation accuracy is improved, but network data consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation accuracyVSAvoidnetwork data consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of downloading high-precision road data for the entire route, the system segments the route and downloads data only for the current and next route segments. This segmented approach maintains navigation accuracy for the areas that need it while dramatically reducing overall network data consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies high-precision road data locally only to the current and next route segments where it is actually needed, rather than uniformly across the entire route. This local quality approach ensures navigation accuracy in critical areas while minimizing unnecessary data consumption in areas where standard navigation suffices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If the system waits for complete high-precision road data before displaying navigation, then navigation accuracy is improved, but response time deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation accuracyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays navigation information segment by segment as the vehicle progresses along the route, rather than waiting for complete route data. This allows the system to provide accurate lane-level navigation for the current segment immediately, improving response time while maintaining navigation accuracy for the displayed portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary downloads of high-precision road data for the next route segment before the vehicle reaches it. This ensures that when the vehicle enters the next segment, the data is already prepared and can be displayed immediately, improving response time without sacrificing navigation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A navigation system, method and an electronic device provide for obtaining high-precision road data of a no-network-connection route segment from the server and displaying a lane-level navigation route of the no-network-connection route segment based on the high-precision road data of the no-network-connection route segment. When the electronic device moves to the no-network-connection route segment in the recommended route, the electronic device may obtain high-precision road data of a second route segment from the server and display a lane-level navigation route of the second route segment based on the high-precision road data of the second route segment. In this solution, the electronic device can quickly and accurately display a lane-level navigation route.
