Route Acquisition System Storage Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing route acquisition systems face inefficiencies in storing and managing electronic route data, leading to storage space issues due to the accumulation of unnecessary routes, which hinders the ability to store new routes effectively.
Innovation Solution
A process and system that determines route evaluations based on factors like route coincidence, time indicators, and storage occupancy levels to selectively delete less necessary routes, thereby optimizing storage space usage in the data memory.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If route data is continuously stored in the data memory during movement along preset routes, then the quantity of route data increases and historical route information is preserved, but the occupied storage space increases and may exceed available memory capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic deletion of electronic routes based on evaluation criteria including route coincidence, time indicators, and storage occupancy levels. When storage space is sufficient, older or redundant routes are discarded to make room for new route data, resolving the contradiction between preserving historical route information and managing limited storage capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the state of stored routes by assigning evaluation parameters (route coincidence metrics, time indicators, storage occupancy levels) that determine whether routes should be retained or deleted. This parameter-based management allows flexible adjustment of storage contents based on current system conditions
2Reliability
If all acquired electronic routes are retained in the data memory, then complete route history is maintained, but the system cannot store new routes when memory is full
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of routes using multiple criteria (route coincidence, time indicators, storage occupancy) before deletion occurs. This preliminary assessment ensures that only routes meeting deletion criteria are removed, preserving important route data while creating space for new routes when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors storage occupancy levels and uses this feedback to trigger selective deletion of electronic routes. When storage reaches certain thresholds, the evaluation and deletion process activates to maintain adequate free space, ensuring the system can continue storing new routes while maintaining data completeness where possible
3Volume of stationary object
If route evaluation and selective deletion processes are implemented, then storage space is optimized and new routes can be stored, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The route management system is segmented into distinct functional components: route acquisition unit for capturing route data, evaluation unit for assessing routes based on multiple criteria, and deletion unit for removing selected routes. This segmentation makes the complex management process more manageable and implementable through standardized operations

AI summary
A process is provided for operating a route acquisition system, configured for determining route data during movement of the route acquisition system along preset routes, and for storing the latter as electronic routes in the data memory. A preset selection of routes is determined as a function of the stored electronic routes. For each route of the preset selection, a route count and a route point in time, and a first and a second route time indication, are determined. A route evaluation is determined for each route based on the assigned route count, the assigned route point in time, and the first and second route time indication. As a function of a determined size of the occupied storage space of the data memory, the respective route of the preset selection is deleted from the data memory as a function of its assigned route evaluation.
