Multi-function Navigation System Integrating Electronic Book Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional GPS navigation systems provide limited information about scenic spots, requiring users to manually look up reference coordinates in books and input them into the device, which is inconvenient and potentially dangerous while driving.
Innovation Solution
A multi-function navigation system that integrates electronic book information with GPS, allowing direct transfer of coordinates from electronic books to the navigation system, displaying guiding paths and enabling users to access additional information through an electronic map with interface marks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users manually look up reference coordinates in books and input them into the GPS device, then the navigation system can provide positioning information, but the operation becomes inconvenient and potentially dangerous while driving
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the electronic book databank containing traveling information with the GPS navigation system into an integrated multi-function system. The electronic map databank and electronic book databank are merged to allow automatic coordinate transfer, eliminating the need for manual coordinate input while preserving complete traveling information about scenic spots.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an automatic coordinate transfer mechanism as an intermediary between the electronic book information and the GPS navigation system. This intermediary automatically extracts coordinates from the electronic book databank and transfers them to the navigation system, eliminating manual intervention and improving safety during driving.
2Device complexity
If the GPS device provides only basic map information, then the device remains simple, but the information about scenic spots is extremely limited and insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-function navigation system that performs both basic GPS navigation and comprehensive electronic book information display. The system integrates multiple functions including path selection, scenic spot identification, electronic book information retrieval, and automatic coordinate transfer, allowing a single device to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the electronic book databank with the GPS navigation system's electronic map databank. This combination allows the system to provide both basic navigation functionality and comprehensive traveling information about scenic spots, including historical background, pictures, contact information, and other detailed attributes without requiring separate devices.
3Loss of information
If the system integrates electronic book databank with GPS navigation, then comprehensive traveling information is provided, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information system into distinct databanks (electronic map databank and electronic book databank) with clearly defined functions. The electronic map databank handles navigation and positioning information, while the electronic book databank stores comprehensive traveling information. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity through modular organization while providing integrated functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automatic coordinate transfer functionality where the electronic book information automatically provides coordinates to the navigation system without requiring manual intervention. The scenic spot information searching module automatically identifies spots within the displayed area and retrieves corresponding electronic book information, reducing the operational burden on users despite the enhanced functionality.
4Loss of information
If users need to access electronic book information about scenic spots, then comprehensive traveling information is available, but users must manually look up coordinates in books first which enhances driving danger
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an automatic coordinate transfer mechanism as an intermediary that eliminates the need for manual coordinate lookup and input. The system automatically extracts coordinates from the electronic book databank and transfers them to the GPS navigation system, removing the dangerous manual operation step while preserving access to comprehensive electronic book information about scenic spots.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic identification and coordinate transfer without requiring user intervention. The scenic spot information searching module automatically identifies scenic spots within the displayed electronic map area and retrieves corresponding electronic book information, allowing users to access comprehensive traveling information without taking their eyes off the road or manually inputting coordinates.

AI summary
A multi-function navigation system provides an electronic map to guide the user to destinations and provides information of scenic spots stored in an electronic book. The navigation system includes: a scenic spot information searching module for searching scenic spots within the selected scope of electronic map and identifying the scenic spots included in the electronic book; a traveling information note module for providing a interface to the electronic book of the scenic spots including the electronic book; and a display module for displaying the electronic map and marks of the interface linking to the electronic book of the scenic spots.
