Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Navigation systems lack real-time dynamic navigation, peer-to-peer navigation, and the ability to navigate to fuzzy destinations, such as moving or non-specific locations identified by terms and icons rather than physical addresses or GPS coordinates.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a peer-to-peer navigation system using blockchain technology and smart contracts to pair users with targets, allowing for real-time dynamic route modifications based on positional information and user preferences, enabling navigation to both fixed and moving destinations, as well as fuzzy locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional navigation systems use fixed physical addresses and GPS coordinates for routing, then route guidance is straightforward and reliable, but the system cannot navigate to moving destinations or fuzzy locations described by terms and icons
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic routing by allowing the destination to change during navigation. The system transitions from static address-based routing to dynamic peer-to-peer routing where the target location can move or be defined by fuzzy terms. The routing algorithm continuously updates the path based on current positions of both user and target, enabling navigation to moving destinations while maintaining reliability through real-time position tracking and verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the fundamental parameters of navigation by accepting fuzzy location descriptors (terms and icons) instead of only fixed physical addresses. This parameter change allows the destination to be defined dynamically through user input terms that can represent moving objects or non-specific locations, while the system translates these fuzzy parameters into actionable routing instructions through continuous position matching.
2Productivity
If navigation systems provide static routing based on initial destination input, then the routing process is simple and fast, but the system lacks real-time dynamic navigation capabilities to respond to changing conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous feedback loops where the system monitors real-time position data of both the user and target, compares current position with planned route, and dynamically adjusts the routing instructions. This feedback mechanism enables real-time dynamic route modification while maintaining efficient routing through optimized calculation algorithms that process position updates without requiring complete route recalculation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating multiple potential route options and preparing dynamic routing algorithms before navigation begins. This allows the system to respond quickly to real-time changes by selecting from pre-prepared alternatives rather than calculating new routes from scratch, thus maintaining routing speed while enabling dynamic adaptation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If navigation systems use centralized routing control, then route management is centralized and consistent, but the system lacks peer-to-peer navigation capabilities where users can navigate to each other's locations in real-time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized routing authority into distributed peer-to-peer navigation units. Each user device becomes an independent navigation node that can both provide and receive routing services. This segmentation enables peer-to-peer navigation where users can navigate to each other's locations by sharing position data, while the system manages the complexity through standardized communication protocols and position verification mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements universal routing functionality where the same navigation infrastructure serves both traditional address-based routing and peer-to-peer dynamic routing. The routing algorithm is designed to handle multiple destination types (fixed addresses, moving destinations, fuzzy locations) through a unified framework, reducing overall system complexity despite the added peer-to-peer capability.
4Adaptability or versatility
If navigation systems accept only specific physical addresses as input, then location identification is precise and unambiguous, but the system cannot receive or process non-specific locations or descriptions of various locations
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the input parameters from fixed physical addresses to fuzzy location descriptors including terms and icons. This allows users to input non-specific locations such as 'nearby restaurant' or 'gas station' without knowing exact addresses. The system compensates for reduced input precision by using real-time position tracking, contextual information, and verification mechanisms to identify and confirm the intended destination, thus maintaining location identification accuracy despite accepting fuzzy input.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between user input and destination identification. This intermediary processes fuzzy terms and icons, translates them into search queries, and matches them against available location data and real-time position information. This intermediary mechanism enables the system to handle non-specific location descriptions while maintaining accurate destination identification through multiple verification steps and contextual matching.
