Problem

Existing geographic information query systems on mobile terminals are limited to simple conditional queries and struggle with complex condition queries due to slow response times and inefficient data processing, especially with increasing geographic entity information data.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal-oriented complex condition geographic information query method and device that determines condition semantics, sets query contents based on preset rules, and performs server calculations to obtain query results, utilizing a cache system to enhance query efficiency and reduce waiting times.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If complex condition geographic information queries are performed using existing systems, then query functionality is limited to simple conditions, but response speed becomes slow due to spatial relation calculations and data richness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery functionalityVSAvoidresponse speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the geographic information query system into multiple components: a mobile terminal for user interaction, a server for complex spatial relation calculations, and a cache system for storing pre-computed results. This segmentation allows the mobile terminal to handle simple query interface operations while offloading computationally intensive spatial calculations to the server, thereby improving both query functionality and response speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a cache mechanism that pre-computes and stores geographic information query results before they are actually needed. When similar queries are made, the system retrieves pre-computed results from the cache rather than performing full spatial relation calculations again, significantly reducing response time while maintaining complex query capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If geographic entity information data continuously improves and increases, then data richness increases, but calculation waiting time becomes longer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata richnessVSAvoidcalculation waiting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a hierarchical data structure where frequently accessed geographic entity information is stored with higher priority in the cache system, while less frequently accessed data remains in the main database. This local quality differentiation allows the system to quickly retrieve rich geographic data when needed without requiring the entire dataset to be processed each time, thus reducing calculation waiting time while maintaining data richness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts query parameters and cache eviction policies based on data richness and access patterns. When geographic entity information data increases, the system modifies cache size parameters, expiration times, and retrieval strategies to optimize the balance between data richness and calculation waiting time, ensuring efficient performance despite growing data volumes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If existing geographic information query systems process spatial relation calculations, then query accuracy is maintained, but processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery accuracyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cache system as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the main database. This intermediary layer stores pre-computed spatial relation results, allowing the system to maintain query accuracy by retrieving verified results from the cache while dramatically improving processing efficiency by avoiding redundant spatial calculations for repeated queries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
