Solution Overview

Problem

Existing navigation broadcast systems provide uniform, preset navigation statements lacking regional dialect, place name, and statement style adaptation, failing to offer personalized and diversified navigation experiences for users in different regions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that obtain a user's geographical identifier to match navigation broadcasts with regional dialects, place names, and statement styles by converting standard statements into geographical navigation broadcasts using statement-conversion templates and regional language libraries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If navigation messages are continuously broadcast without interruption, then the availability of navigation services is improved, but the power consumption of the broadcast device increases and the coverage area is reduced due to fading interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailability of navigation servicesVSAvoidpower consumption of broadcast device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by interrupting the navigation message broadcast at regular intervals (e.g., every 6 seconds) rather than continuous transmission. During the interruption period, the base station stops broadcasting navigation messages, allowing the channel to clear of fading interference. This periodic on-off broadcasting pattern reduces cumulative power consumption while maintaining service availability, as users can accumulate messages from multiple interrupted cycles to achieve the required 150 milliseconds of navigation data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Area of stationary object

If the broadcast power is increased to extend coverage area, then the coverage area is improved, but the power consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by broadcasting at maximum power only during active transmission intervals and completely shutting down during interruption intervals. This allows the system to achieve extended coverage during broadcast periods without the continuous energy burden of high-power transmission. The intermittent high-power broadcasting achieves the same effective coverage as continuous low-power broadcasting but with significantly reduced total power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Loss of information

If navigation messages are broadcast continuously, then the message availability for users is improved, but fading interference accumulates and reduces effective coverage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage availabilityVSAvoidfading interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic interruptions in message broadcasting to clear accumulated fading interference from the channel. By stopping transmission at regular intervals, the system allows multipath fading and interference to dissipate before resuming broadcast. This periodic clearing prevents interference accumulation while maintaining message availability, as users can collect messages from multiple broadcast cycles and the interference-free intervals improve signal quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
