Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing travel route recommendation systems lack sufficient information for accurately proposing detours based on real-time congestion and road conditions, leading to suboptimal route selection.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that utilizes satellite imagery to determine road information and proposes travel routes considering real-time congestion, restricted sections, and vehicle compatibility, offering alternative routes when necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time traffic information is used to determine detour routes, then route reliability is improved, but information accuracy for proposing travel routes is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces satellite images as an intermediary data source to enhance route information accuracy. The satellite image acquisition unit captures overhead views of roads, and the road information determination unit extracts detailed road conditions from these images, providing more accurate information than traditional traffic data alone for proposing travel routes
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple travel routes are provided, then route selection flexibility is improved, but determining the optimal route becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors road conditions via satellite images and updates route recommendations accordingly. The congestion determination unit and restricted section determination unit provide feedback on current road states, enabling the system to dynamically adjust and optimize multiple route options based on real-time conditions
3Adaptability or versatility
If congestion information is analyzed to propose alternative routes, then route adaptability to changing conditions is improved, but congestion resolution determination becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by proactively identifying congestion conditions and restricted sections before they significantly impact travel. The system continuously analyzes satellite images to detect congestion patterns and road restrictions in advance, allowing the route proposal unit to prepare alternative routes beforehand, reducing the complexity of real-time decision-making
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire a satellite image of ground level captured by an artificial satellite, and propose a travel route to a destination based on road information related to a road on which a vehicle can travel to the destination, the road information having been determined based on the acquired satellite image.
