Navigation Information Retrieval via Public Account Database
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation devices in museums and tourist attractions lack uniform standards, requiring visitors to learn how to operate each device independently, leading to increased complexity and high operation and maintenance costs due to their independent nature.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a client device sends a request to a backend server with navigation key information and a public account ID, allowing the server to determine a target public account database, obtain corresponding navigation information, and send it back to the client for display, eliminating the need for additional navigation devices and simplifying the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If independent navigation devices are used in museums and tourist attractions, then navigation information can be provided to visitors, but the operation and maintenance costs increase and the complexity of using different devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling existing client devices (smartphones, tablets, computers) to function as navigation devices through a standardized interface. Instead of requiring visitors to use dedicated navigation devices, the system allows any device with the client application to access navigation information uniformly, eliminating the need to learn different operating methods for different devices
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a backend server as an intermediary between the client device and the navigation information database. The server receives requests from client devices, queries the database using navigation key information, and returns the requested navigation information. This intermediary layer standardizes the interaction process and eliminates the need for visitors to directly interact with complex navigation systems
2Reliability
If dedicated navigation devices are deployed, then navigation information can be stored and updated, but the operation and maintenance costs become high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the navigation database accessible through client devices via the backend server. Instead of requiring physical navigation devices at each location, the system copies the navigation information database to a centralized server that can be accessed by multiple client devices simultaneously. This eliminates the need for multiple expensive physical devices while maintaining information availability
Solution Approach 2:
The backend server provides universal access to navigation information for multiple client devices simultaneously. A single server infrastructure serves all visitors, replacing the need for individual navigation devices at each location. This significantly reduces operation and maintenance costs while maintaining reliable access to navigation information
3Loss of information
If visitors rent navigation devices at the site, then navigation information can be obtained, but the process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent assumes that visitors already have client devices (smartphones, tablets, or computers) before arriving at the museum or tourist attraction. These devices are prepared in advance with the necessary application or browser capabilities. When visitors arrive, they simply need to input navigation key information to access the navigation system, eliminating the need to rent or learn new devices
Solution Approach 2:
The system leverages the universality of existing client devices that visitors already possess and are familiar with using. By making these common devices compatible with the navigation system through a standardized interface, visitors can immediately access navigation information without learning new operating procedures or renting specialized equipment

AI summary
Various embodiments provide methods, servers, and systems for obtaining navigation information. In an exemplary method, a first obtaining request of a client device can be received and the first obtaining request can at least contain navigation key information and a public account ID. According to the public account ID, a target public account database can be determined. The target public account database can be a public account database corresponding to the public account ID. The target public account database can include the navigation key information and corresponding navigation information. According to the navigation key information, navigation information corresponding to the navigation key information from the target public account database can be obtained. The obtained navigation information can then be sent to the client device to display the obtained navigation information.
