A safety navigation device and method utilizing an integrated circuit module with a memory chip, control element, and serial generation unit, connected via a substrate, generates an IP address using a virtual keypad and a server-based certification mechanism, incorporating a radio-based timer for precise timing and data logging to prevent IP address reuse, and utilizing popular USBs for universality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a server-based certification mechanism is implemented to ensure security and prevent IP address reuse, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A server-based certification mechanism acts as an intermediary between the navigation device and the IP address allocation system. The server verifies and certifies IP addresses, preventing unauthorized or duplicate usage, thereby enhancing security without requiring complex local verification logic in each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The certification mechanism implements a feedback loop where the server continuously monitors and validates IP address usage. When an IP address is allocated, the server records it and provides certification feedback to the navigation device, ensuring that duplicate or revoked addresses are not reused, thus maintaining security through ongoing verification.
2Reliability
If data logging is implemented to prevent IP address reuse, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases due to logging and verification processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-allocating and certifying IP addresses through the server before they are needed by navigation devices. The server maintains a ready-to-use pool of certified IP addresses, so when a device needs an address, it can quickly obtain a pre-validated one without time-consuming verification processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The certification mechanism creates and distributes copies of validated IP address certifications from the server to multiple navigation devices. Once an IP address is certified by the server, this certification can be efficiently copied and distributed to authorized devices, reducing the time required for repeated verification while maintaining reliability.
3Ease of operation
If an integrated circuit module with multiple functions is used, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions (navigation, IP address generation, certification verification, and data logging) into a single integrated circuit module. This consolidation simplifies the user experience by providing a unified device that handles all these tasks automatically, while the internal integration manages the complexity within the module itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated circuit module is designed with universal multi-functionality, capable of performing navigation, IP address management, security certification, and data logging operations. This multi-functional design allows a single device to replace multiple separate systems, improving ease of operation by reducing the number of components the user must manage.

AI summary
A safety navigation device and an executing method thereof in the present disclosure are based on an integrated circuit module and a server for safety certification. According to an algorithm or instantaneous time, the integrated circuit module which is electrically connected to electronic equipment creates an IP address, controlling the electronic equipment to enable the IP address via a virtual keypad. Then, the dominating server in which a certification mechanism is installed will check validity of the IP address and issues corresponding information.
