Mobile Shop Vehicle Guidance System with Real-Time Layout Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is difficult for users to easily understand the layout of shops in a shopping mall composed of multiple mobile shop vehicles, and creating the latest shop guidance information is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A guidance information providing system that includes mobile shop vehicles equipped with circuitry to acquire and send location information, and a server device that generates and outputs map information indicating the layout of the mobile shop vehicles, along with shop information such as names, types, inventory, and future movements, to user terminals or display devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual methods are used to create shop guidance information, then the information can be customized and detailed, but it takes time and effort to create the latest shop guidance information
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile shop vehicles automatically send their own location information to the server device, eliminating the need for manual data collection. The system serves itself by having each vehicle report its position autonomously, which dramatically reduces the time and effort required to create updated shop guidance information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical methods of creating guidance information with an automated electronic system. Location information is automatically acquired by positioning devices in vehicles, transmitted via communication circuits, and processed by a server to generate map information, substituting human labor with automated technological systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the layout of shops is changed flexibly in a shopping mall composed of mobile shop vehicles, then adaptability is improved, but it becomes difficult for users to know what shops are located at which locations
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously collects location information from mobile shop vehicles and automatically updates map information that is provided to users. This feedback loop ensures that users always receive current location data, maintaining awareness of shop locations even as the layout changes flexibly.
Solution Approach 2:
The server device acts as an intermediary between the mobile shop vehicles and users. It receives location information from vehicles, processes it into map information, and delivers it to users, bridging the gap between the dynamic vehicle positions and user needs for location information.
