Navigation System for Tracking Moving Target Devices

The patent transforms the static navigation system into a dynamic one by enabling real-time updates of the directing target's location. The navigation method now supports both static destinations and moving targets, allowing the system to adapt its behavior based on whether the target is stationary or mobile. This dynamic capability resolves the contradiction by adding tracking functionality without fundamentally redesigning the core navigation architecture.

The navigation system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it can guide users to static locations using traditional navigation methods, and simultaneously track moving targets by receiving real-time position updates. This multi-functionality allows a single system to handle both static and dynamic navigation scenarios, improving adaptability while maintaining reasonable system complexity through unified processing logic.

Instead of continuous real-time updates, the system implements periodic position updates at predetermined time intervals. The target device sends its location information to the navigation system at regular intervals rather than continuously, which maintains tracking accuracy while significantly reducing communication frequency and energy consumption. This periodic action resolves the contradiction by finding an optimal balance between update frequency and resource usage.

The target device autonomously determines when to send position updates based on its own movement state and navigation needs. The system allows the target device to manage its own tracking participation, sending updates only when necessary rather than being forced into continuous communication. This self-service approach reduces unnecessary communication overhead and energy expenditure while maintaining reliable tracking when needed.
