Off-board Navigation System Wireless Route Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation systems for motor vehicles require significant operating effort and do not efficiently integrate commercial advertising based on vehicle position, time, search history, and customer preferences, limiting user experience and revenue generation opportunities.
Innovation Solution
A navigation system that includes an off-board navigation system for calculating routes, a wireless communication connection for transmitting routes and map displays to the vehicle, and a man-machine interface for outputting commercial advertising, which can be displayed based on vehicle position, time, search history, and customer preferences, using wireless communication technologies like WLAN, WIMAX, or mobile radio.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If navigation systems integrate commercial advertising based on vehicle position, time, search history, and customer preferences, then revenue generation opportunities and user experience are enhanced, but operating effort and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an off-board navigation system as an intermediary that handles the complex tasks of calculating suggested routes and generating commercial advertising content. The on-board system in the vehicle only needs to receive and display this pre-processed information, significantly reducing the complexity burden on the vehicle's navigation system while still enabling revenue generation through targeted advertising.
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation system is divided into two separate components: an off-board navigation system that performs complex calculations and content generation, and an on-board system that handles display and user interaction. This segmentation allows the complex revenue-generating functions to be isolated from the vehicle's navigation system, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining productivity.
2Ease of operation
If navigation systems provide high-quality navigation with reduced operator workload, then user experience is improved, but the integration of commercial advertising and additional information processing increases operating effort
Solution Approach 1:
The off-board navigation system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating suggested routes, generating map displays, and creating commercial advertising content before transmitting it to the vehicle. This preliminary processing reduces the operating effort required in the vehicle, as the system only needs to display pre-prepared information rather than processing complex data in real-time.
Solution Approach 2:
The off-board navigation system acts as an intermediary that handles all complex information processing tasks remotely. The vehicle's navigation system simply receives and displays this pre-processed information, maintaining ease of operation while enabling sophisticated advertising integration without increasing local processing complexity.
3Reliability
If navigation systems use off-board systems for route calculation and wireless transmission, then navigation quality is improved, but dependency on external systems and communication infrastructure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the navigation system into a distributed architecture where off-board and on-board components work together. The off-board system provides high-quality route calculation and content generation, while the on-board system maintains local display and user interaction capabilities. This combination improves navigation quality through sophisticated processing while maintaining a degree of system independence through local functionality.

AI summary
In a navigation system for a motor vehicle, the navigation system includes an off-board navigation system that is spatially separate from the motor vehicle, a wireless communication connection between the off-board navigation system and the motor vehicle to transmit a suggested route for the motor vehicle and/or a map display of the environment of the motor vehicle from the off-board navigation system to the motor vehicle, and a man-machine interface arranged in the motor vehicle, to output the suggested route or the map display to an operator of the motor vehicle, in connection or together with an item of additional information, the provision of the additional information being accessible to a third party.
