Vehicle Navigation Trip Data Transfer Across Different Cars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face difficulties in effectively transferring and presenting trip data, such as visited resorts and restaurants, between vehicles, making it challenging to provide useful information to vehicle occupants.
Innovation Solution
A navigation device that includes processors and a storage medium, capable of receiving and displaying trip data containing positional and vehicle data, allowing for the transfer and presentation of travel history across vehicles through a communication network involving a server device and user terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If trip data is transferred between different vehicles, then the usefulness of travel history information is improved, but the complexity of data transfer and compatibility between different vehicle models increases
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation device is designed to handle multiple functions: it can store trip data locally, transfer data via communication networks, reproduce settings across different vehicle models, and present information in various formats. This universal design allows the same device to serve different purposes without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication network acts as an intermediary between the old vehicle's navigation device and the new vehicle's navigation device, enabling data transfer without direct connection. The server device also serves as an intermediary that can store and facilitate data exchange between different vehicles, reducing the complexity of direct peer-to-peer data transfer protocols.
2Ease of operation
If trip data is reproduced across different vehicle models, then the ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability requirements between different vehicle models increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes parameters such as data formats, storage structures, and communication protocols to accommodate different vehicle models. By adjusting these parameters, the navigation device can reproduce settings and trip data across diverse vehicle platforms without requiring complete system redesign for each model.
Solution Approach 2:
The trip data and settings are segmented into standardized components that can be independently transferred and reproduced. This segmentation allows the system to handle different vehicle models by processing and adapting individual data elements rather than requiring complete system compatibility, thus improving ease of operation while managing adaptability requirements.
3Loss of information
If detailed trip data including images is stored and transferred, then the information quality is improved, but the storage and transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and separates different types of trip data (positional information, vehicle data, images) into distinct categories. This extraction allows selective storage and transfer of data based on requirements, enabling the system to maintain detailed travel history information while managing data volume by only transferring necessary components or using compressed formats for large elements like images.

AI summary
A navigation device includes: one or more processors; and a storage medium containing a program to be executed by the one or more processors. The program includes one or more commands. The one or more commands cause the one or more processors to carry out a process of receiving trip data held in a random navigation device, in which the trip data includes positional data and vehicle data regarding a random vehicle on which the random navigation device is mounted, and a process of displaying the received trip data on a display unit.
