Solution Overview

Problem

Current navigation systems require manual operation to obtain subsequent road information, leading to safety hazards due to the time-consuming nature of human-computer interaction during navigation.

Innovation Solution

A map data processing method that automatically updates and displays more detailed map data in a navigation interface when the user approaches an intersection, including road information after the intersection, without manual operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If manual operation is required to obtain subsequent road information, then the navigation system can provide detailed road information, but the human-computer interaction consumes time and creates safety hazards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubsequent road informationVSAvoidhuman-computer interaction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically displaying subsequent road information before the user needs it. When the navigation device detects that the user is approaching an intersection, it proactively updates the map data to show subsequent road information, eliminating the need for manual operation at the critical moment and preventing information loss while avoiding time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If manual operation is required to update map data, then the navigation system can provide updated map information, but the operation process reduces navigation safety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap data informationVSAvoidnavigation safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation device implements self-service by automatically detecting when the user approaches an intersection and autonomously updating the map data to display subsequent road information. This eliminates manual operation requirements, ensuring that map data information is continuously updated without compromising navigation safety, as the system serves itself without user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If the navigation interface displays only current road information, then the interface remains simple, but the user cannot learn subsequent road information in advance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation interface complexityVSAvoidsubsequent road information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by automatically preparing and displaying subsequent road information in the navigation interface before the user reaches the intersection. This maintains interface simplicity while preventing information loss, as the system proactively provides future road information without requiring complex user actions or interface modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
