Spatio-Temporal Route Control for Shared Autonomous Mobile Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spatio-temporal data management systems for autonomous mobile objects lack a method for sharing current and future position information, preventing simultaneous control without route conflicts, and limiting access to spatio-temporal division region data among different systems.
Innovation Solution
A control system that converts spatial information, including time and object type, into a unique identifier format, allowing for the registration and sharing of physical objects' presence in a predetermined time, and generates route information for autonomous mobile objects based on this converted data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single processor generates spatio-temporal division regions with unique identifiers, then each processor can manage its own region data, but different system users cannot access or utilize each other's spatio-temporal division region data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal spatio-temporal division region management system where regions are defined by standardized parameters (spatio-temporal boundaries, object types, identifiers) that can be recognized and utilized by multiple different systems and processors. This allows a single spatio-temporal division region to serve multiple functions and be accessed by various users across different systems, transforming isolated processor-specific regions into universally accessible spatial-temporal units.
2Productivity
If autonomous mobile objects operate independently without shared position information, then each object can operate autonomously, but simultaneous control without route conflicts cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the spatio-temporal data of multiple autonomous mobile objects into a unified coordinate system framework. By combining position information, movement routes, and spatio-temporal division region data into a shared digital architecture, the system enables centralized coordination and conflict-free simultaneous control of multiple autonomous objects while maintaining their individual operational autonomy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If spatio-temporal data is stored without standardized formatting, then storage flexibility is maintained, but data sharing and coordination between systems become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms spatio-temporal data into a standardized parameter format including spatial coordinates, temporal information, object type classifications, and unique identifiers. This parameter standardization enables different systems to exchange and interpret spatio-temporal data consistently, facilitating data sharing and coordination while maintaining the flexibility to represent various types of spatio-temporal division regions and autonomous mobile objects.
Data Source
AI summary
A control system capable of performing a control process while different autonomous mobile objects are sharing information of a spatio-temporal division region includes a control unit configured to issue a control instruction to at least one autonomous mobile object and a conversion/information holding unit configured to convert spatial information including information about time and information about a type of physical object present in a space defined by a predetermined coordinate system into a format in association with a unique identifier and hold the spatial information converted into the format in association with the unique identifier. The conversion/information holding unit is able to register that a predetermined physical object is present in a predetermined time. The control unit generates route information about a movement route of the mobile object on the basis of the spatial information acquired from the conversion/information holding unit and type information of the mobile object.
