Route Guidance Timing for Multi-Spot Information Before Branch Points
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information providing devices struggle to deliver advertising information to multiple advertising target points before a vehicle reaches a branch point, leading to incomplete guidance and potential disruption of smooth route navigation.
Innovation Solution
An information providing device that includes a current position acquisition unit, a recommended spot extractor, a guidance route calculator, a branch point detector, and a controller, which determines the information provision start timing based on required time to ensure spot information is provided before the vehicle reaches a branch point, prioritizing routes with shorter arrival times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If advertising information is provided to multiple advertising target points, then the quantity of information provided increases, but the time required to provide all information exceeds the time available before reaching the branch point
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by calculating required times for multiple branch points in advance, determining information provision start timings before the vehicle reaches any branch point. This allows the system to prioritize and sequence information delivery to multiple advertising target points efficiently, ensuring all information is provided within the available time window.
2Loss of information
If information is provided to multiple recommended spots, then the completeness of guidance improves, but the smoothness of route navigation may be disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates and determines all information provision start timings in advance before the vehicle reaches the first branch point. By having a pre-established timeline for providing information about multiple advertising target points, the system ensures complete guidance while maintaining smooth navigation without last-minute disruptions or delays.

AI summary
The invention provides a device, method, program, and recording medium for providing information about multiple recommended spots near a moving object, ensuring that the information is provided before the moving object reaches a branch point leading to the recommended spot. When the recommended spot extractor extracts multiple recommended spots and the branch point detector detects multiple branch points, the controller prioritizes providing information for the recommended spot that is guided from the branch point, based on a shorter time from the current position of the moving object to the branch point. The controller also determines an information provision timing, based on the time needed to reach the branch point and the time required to provide spot information of the recommended spot, ensuring that the provision of the information is completed by the time the moving object arrives at the branch point to the recommended spot.
