Location-Tagged Database for Vehicle Data Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data delivery systems for vehicles do not provide content based on the current location of the vehicle, limiting the ability to offer learning and educational content tailored to the occupant's location.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that involves transmitting a request from the vehicle to a database tagged with location information, determining the vehicle's location, and delivering relevant data from the database to a display in the vehicle, utilizing a navigational system, wireless communication system, and a database configured to store location-tagged data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If data is delivered without location-based filtering, then data delivery speed is improved, but data relevance to the vehicle's current context deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-tags data items with location information during data ingestion and storage in the database. This preliminary action allows the database to quickly filter and retrieve location-relevant data without performing complex spatial calculations during real-time delivery, thus maintaining fast data delivery speed while ensuring location-based relevance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a database as an intermediary component between the data source and the vehicle display system. This database stores and manages location-tagged data, acting as a mediator that filters and prepares location-relevant data before delivery to the vehicle, thereby separating the complexity of location-based filtering from the real-time delivery process
2Loss of information
If location-based data filtering is implemented, then data relevance to current location is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the data delivery function into distinct modular components: a database module for storing and filtering location-tagged data, a navigation module for determining vehicle location, and a display module for presenting filtered content. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by allowing each module to handle its specific task independently
Solution Approach 2:
The database is configured to automatically filter and retrieve location-relevant data based on the vehicle's current location without requiring complex external processing. The system serves itself by using the navigation location data to directly query the database for relevant content, eliminating the need for sophisticated intermediate filtering logic
Data Source
AI summary
A method of delivering data to a vehicle including transmitting a request for the data from a vehicle to a database. The data stored in the database is tagged with location information. A location of the vehicle is determined. The data in the database tagged with location information within a predetermined distance of the determined location of the vehicle is determined. The data is delivered to the vehicle based on the determined location of the vehicle. The delivered data is displayed on a display disposed in the vehicle.
