Navigation Device Content Telematics via Wireless Terminal Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional navigation devices are limited in providing real-time data and infotainment services, restricting their functionality to only pre-stored content and unable to effectively utilize various content information for both drivers and passengers.
Innovation Solution
A method that enables navigation devices to receive and display various content information through wireless communication devices by searching and authenticating nearby terminals or connecting to content managing servers via wireless Internet access, expanding their functionality to include traffic and life information services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If navigation devices use only pre-stored content, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability and content variety are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wireless communication terminal as an intermediary device that stores and transmits content information to the navigation device. This mediator allows the navigation device to access diverse content without needing to store it locally, resolving the contradiction between content variety and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation device is enhanced with multiple functions including terminal searching, terminal authentication, and content information display capabilities. This multi-functionality approach allows the device to access various content sources while maintaining a relatively simple core structure
2Adaptability or versatility
If navigation devices process real-time data, then service functionality is improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex data processing and storage functions from the navigation device and relocates them to external components (wireless communication terminal and content managing server). This allows the navigation device to provide real-time services while keeping its own complexity low
Solution Approach 2:
A content managing server acts as an intermediary that handles real-time data processing, authentication, and content delivery. The navigation device simply receives and displays content from this mediator, avoiding the complexity of real-time processing while maintaining service functionality
3Reliability
If navigation devices authenticate multiple terminals, then service reliability is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication process is designed to be self-service oriented, where the terminal authentication unit automatically verifies subscription status with the content managing server without requiring manual intervention. This maintains reliability while reducing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automated feedback loops where authentication results are immediately communicated back to control content access. This automated feedback mechanism ensures reliable service while minimizing manual operational steps
Data Source
AI summary
A method of providing content information using a wireless communication device and a navigation device of performing the method are disclosed. The navigation device may comprise a terminal searching unit that searches a wireless communication terminal that may perform near field wireless communication in response to a content information providing request, a terminal authenticating unit that performs terminal authentication on whether the searched wireless communication terminal has been subscribing for a content providing service, and a content information displaying unit that, if it is identified that the wireless communication terminal is a terminal subscribing for the content providing service, receives content information from the wireless communication terminal and displays the content information on a display.
