1Productivity

If manual navigation planning is used in multi-dimensional parameter spaces, then flexibility in handling complex waypoints is maintained, but navigation efficiency and accuracy deteriorate due to human error and complexity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenavigation efficiencyVSAvoidnavigation accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation system performs self-evaluation of spatial-temporal descriptors and automatic selection of navigation opportunities without human intervention. The system serves itself by automatically comparing current state against target criteria, evaluating multiple pathways, and selecting optimal navigation opportunities based on predefined dimensions, thereby eliminating human error while maintaining operational flexibility

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical navigation planning with an automated computational system. The system uses circuitry to automatically evaluate spatial-temporal descriptors, compare current state with target criteria across multiple dimensions, and select navigation opportunities, substituting human cognitive processes with machine-based automated decision-making to improve both efficiency and accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If automated navigation systems are implemented, then navigation efficiency and accuracy improve, but system complexity increases due to multiple evaluation dimensions and criteria

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenavigation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation system segments the complex navigation problem into distinct evaluatable dimensions (spatial, temporal, and other customizable dimensions). Each dimension is evaluated independently through separate circuitry modules that assess specific aspects of the current state against target criteria, allowing the complex multi-dimensional problem to be broken down into manageable, parallel evaluation streams that reduce overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a universal evaluation framework that can handle multiple dimensions and types of waypoints through a single integrated architecture. The same core circuitry and evaluation logic are applied across different dimensions (spatial, temporal, etc.), allowing the system to manage complexity through standardized multi-functional processing rather than requiring separate specialized systems for each dimension

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If multiple waypoints with varying dimensional parameters are used, then navigation precision to target goal is improved, but navigation complexity and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetarget goal precisionVSAvoidnavigation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation of multiple navigation opportunities in parallel before committing to a path. By pre-assessing spatial-temporal descriptors and comparing against target criteria across all dimensions beforehand, the system identifies optimal pathways in advance, avoiding time-consuming trial-and-error navigation while maintaining precise targeting through multiple evaluation dimensions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces temporal dimension alongside spatial dimensions in the navigation evaluation. By adding the time component to the evaluation of spatial-temporal descriptors, the system can optimize for both precision (through multiple dimensions) and efficiency (through temporal optimization), selecting pathways that meet target criteria across all dimensions including time, thereby reducing overall navigation time while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A navigation system for a multi-dimensional parameter space helps facilitate reaching a desired destination along a predefined path. The system provides technical solutions to reaching the destination along even complex paths, including analyzing a large search space for waypoints that fall along the predefined path. For instance, the waypoints along the path may be numerous, may create path branches, or may be characterized by many different dimensional parameters.
