Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems and methods for determining the location of electronic devices, such as GPS and Wi-Fi-based systems, provide only approximate location data and do not offer real-time interaction with target locations for multimedia experiences.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for real-time interaction with a target location using an electronic device, which includes a location module, a communication link, and user interface components, enabling users to interact with target locations through video feeds, live chats, and real-time data updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional location determination systems (GPS, Wi-Fi) are used, then location data can be obtained, but the location is only approximate and lacks real-time interaction capability
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device is configured to perform multiple functions: it determines location using conventional methods (GPS, Wi-Fi triangulation) while simultaneously establishing communication with target locations to receive real-time data, video feeds, and enable interactive experiences. This multi-functional approach allows the device to maintain approximate location capabilities while adding real-time interaction versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication link acts as an intermediary between the electronic device and target locations. This intermediary enables the device to receive real-time data, video feeds, and interactive content from target locations without requiring the device to be physically present, thus resolving the contradiction between location determination and real-time interaction capability.
2Loss of information
If conventional multimedia and location determination applications are used, then users can access location information, but real-time data and personal user experience prediction are not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing communication links with target locations before the user visits them. Real-time data, video feeds, and interactive content are prepared and made available in advance, allowing the system to predict and personalize the user experience before the actual visit occurs, thus reducing information loss without significantly increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where location data and user interactions are continuously monitored and used to refine real-time predictions and recommendations. This feedback loop allows the system to adapt to user preferences and provide personalized real-time data without requiring complex additional hardware, thus addressing information availability while managing system complexity.
3Productivity
If crowd-sourcing is used to acquire information, then existing applications can function, but live or real-time data for analyzing target locations is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts real-time data directly from target locations through established communication links, eliminating the need to rely on crowd-sourced information that is inherently delayed. By taking out real-time data streams, video feeds, and live updates directly from the source, the system achieves high productivity in information acquisition while eliminating time delays associated with crowd-sourcing.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods of real-time audiovisual interaction with a target location includes receiving an identification of a target location. The identification can be received at a processor of a server from an electronic device of an end-user. A request can be transmitted for a video feed associated with the target location. For example, the video feed can be a live video feed of an interior of the target location or a video chat with a representative of the target location. In response to receiving the video feed, the video feed can be transmitted to the electronic device of the end-user. When audiovisual communication is established, a user can view different aspects of a target location, for example the capacity of a restaurant or speak directly with a representative of a clothing store to see if they have a specific item in the users' size.
