Rider Location Detection and Group Sharing System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional location and accelerometer systems fail to share real-time location and acceleration data effectively across multiple users, particularly in scenarios where users are spread across multiple vehicles, making it difficult to track and monitor each other's location and status efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A rider location system that includes a processor and memory with computer-executable components for pairing with wireless transceivers, communicating location and accelerometer data, managing groups, detecting emergency events, and sharing data among user devices, enabling real-time location and acceleration data sharing and notification of potential crashes or separations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional location and accelerometer systems are used, then location and acceleration data can be obtained, but the data cannot be shared effectively across multiple users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines location system data, accelerometer data, and user identity information into a unified shared data structure that can be accessed by multiple users. The system merges data from multiple sources (GPS location, accelerometer readings, user profiles) and makes them available to all group members through a common communication interface, enabling effective data sharing without requiring separate systems for each user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal data sharing mechanism that allows the same location and accelerometer data to be accessed by multiple users simultaneously. The communications component is designed to handle multiple user connections and data requests, making the system multi-functional by serving both individual user needs and group-wide information sharing requirements through a single integrated platform.
2Reliability
If real-time tracking and monitoring is implemented across multiple vehicles, then user location and status can be monitored, but users spread across multiple vehicles can be easily separated
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements continuous feedback mechanisms by constantly monitoring location data and accelerometer readings from all users, analyzing this data in real-time to detect emergencies, and providing immediate notifications to group members. This closed-loop feedback system ensures reliable tracking while maintaining group cohesion through timely awareness of each member's status and position relative to others.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing group connections and data sharing protocols before users may become separated. The group management component pre-configures communication channels and data sharing arrangements, so that when users are spread across multiple vehicles, the tracking and monitoring infrastructure is already in place to maintain reliability and ease of reconnection.
3Reliability
If location and accelerometer data is shared among group members, then safety awareness is enhanced, but data transmission and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial action by selectively sharing and processing only the most critical data elements needed for safety monitoring. Rather than transmitting all possible data continuously, the system focuses on essential location and accelerometer information that directly impacts safety awareness, reducing energy consumption while maintaining effective safety monitoring through targeted data exchange.
Data Source
AI summary
Rider location and acceleration sharing systems are provided herein. For instance, a system is paired with a wireless transceiver, mountable to or within headwear that outputs location data and accelerometer data associated with the user identity to a user device. Once members of the group of user devices are validated for movement together, an emergency event associated with a member of the group may be identified based on the accelerometer data or the location data, and, in response to the emergency event, emergency event data is sent to the respective other user devices, and other information is enabled to be received from any of the respective other user devices.
