Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals often face difficulties in determining the address and directions to a destination location during electronic communications, as they may not have the necessary information readily available, leading to manual lookups.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that parse electronic communications data to identify partial address terms and determine the position of a destination location, providing routing data from a current location to the destination, utilizing a computing device and location identification logic.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If manual lookup is used to find address and directions, then accuracy of location information is maintained, but time consumption and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime consumptionVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic parsing of electronic communications data to extract location information without requiring manual user intervention. The processor automatically identifies partial address terms, queries databases for complete addresses, and generates routing data, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual lookup by the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-queries database systems with partial address terms extracted from communications before the user needs the complete information. By performing the address resolution and routing data generation in advance during the communication flow, the system eliminates the need for subsequent manual lookups when the user needs navigation information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If automatic parsing is implemented to extract location information, then ease of operation improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that includes database systems and parsing logic positioned between the electronic communication source and the user. This intermediary automatically handles the complex tasks of extracting partial address terms, querying for complete addresses, and generating routing data, thereby simplifying the user interface while managing the complexity in the background processing layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive parsing is performed to identify all location terms, then measurement precision of destination location improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of destination locationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial parsing by focusing specifically on identifying partial address terms within electronic communications rather than analyzing all aspects of the communication data. This selective approach extracts only the location-relevant information needed for database queries, achieving sufficient precision for destination identification while minimizing unnecessary processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems and methods for determining a destination location from a communication are described. One embodiment of a method includes receiving electronic communications data from a mobile communications device, at a computing device. The electronic communications data is parsed to identify a partial address term of interest related to the destination location in the electronic communications data. A position of the destination location is determined from the partial address term of interest. Routing data of a vehicle from a current location of the vehicle to the destination location is determined and provided to a user of the vehicle.
