Solution Overview

Problem

Three-dimensional high-precision map data is difficult for low-specification electronic devices to store, process, and display due to its massive data volume and increased computational load.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with memory for first map data and a communication module to retrieve high-resolution second map data from an external device, selectively providing only the requested information based on processing performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If three-dimensional high-precision map data is provided to low-specification electronic devices, then map detail and information completeness are improved, but data storage capacity and computational processing capability are exceeded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap information completenessVSAvoiddata processing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the high-precision map data into multiple levels of detail (LOD). The map data is divided into first map data with first resolution and second map data with second resolution higher than the first resolution. This segmentation allows low-specification devices to handle only the necessary portion (first map data) while high-specification devices can access the complete high-resolution data (second map data), thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and device processing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing different resolutions of map data to different devices based on their processing capabilities. Low-specification devices receive first map data with first resolution that is sufficient for their processing capacity, while high-specification devices receive second map data with second resolution. This ensures each device receives appropriately quality-matched data without being overwhelmed by excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If high-resolution three-dimensional map data is transmitted to all devices, then map quality and visibility are improved, but communication bandwidth and data transmission volume are excessively increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap data qualityVSAvoiddata transmission volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of map data to each device. Instead of sending all high-resolution second map data to every device, the system transmits first map data with first resolution to low-specification devices, which is sufficient for their display and processing capabilities. This partial transmission approach maintains adequate map quality for each device's needs while significantly reducing the data transmission volume and communication bandwidth requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If second map data with higher resolution is processed by low-specification devices, then map display quality is improved, but energy consumption and processing time are excessively increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap display resolutionVSAvoidprocessing energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the resolution parameter of map data according to the processing capabilities of the receiving device. Low-specification devices receive first map data with first resolution that matches their processing power, avoiding the excessive energy consumption that would result from attempting to process high-resolution second map data. This parameter adaptation ensures efficient energy utilization while maintaining acceptable display quality for each device class.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
