Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional navigation systems fail to provide differentiated navigation information efficiently based on vehicle movements and do not effectively offer information related to the vicinity of a driving route.

Innovation Solution

A navigation information providing system and method that determines and adjusts navigation information based on an operation mode, such as driving or walking, by analyzing user terminal movement data, including speed and pattern, to provide relevant Points Of Interest (POIs) and route information specific to the current mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional navigation systems provide general navigation information, then basic route guidance is available, but differentiated navigation information based on vehicle movements and vicinity information cannot be efficiently provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedifferentiated navigation informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation system dynamically adjusts the operation mode between driving mode and walking mode based on real-time movement speed detection. When movement speed exceeds a threshold, the system switches to driving mode; when below the threshold, it switches to walking mode. This dynamic adaptation enables differentiated navigation information provision without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects movement speed using the user terminal's sensor and autonomously determines the operation mode without user intervention. The server receives movement information, identifies the operation mode, and selects appropriate navigation information (driving route information or walking route information) automatically, eliminating the need for manual mode selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If navigation information is provided without considering operation mode, then system simplicity is maintained, but navigation efficiency and user experience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation efficiencyVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation information is segmented into distinct types based on operation mode: driving route information for driving mode and walking route information for walking mode. The server segments the navigation information provision process by first identifying the operation mode through movement speed detection, then selecting and providing the appropriate segment of navigation information relevant to that mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If movement information is continuously monitored to determine operation mode, then accurate differentiated information is provided, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation mode detection accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses partial monitoring of movement information by establishing a threshold-based detection mechanism. Instead of continuously analyzing all movement parameters, the system monitors movement speed and compares it against a predetermined threshold to determine operation mode. This partial monitoring approach maintains detection accuracy while minimizing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
