Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If navigation servers use predefined algorithms and stored road maps to provide routes, then the navigation system can operate with basic functionality, but the route accuracy deteriorates due to constant road construction and outdated data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by collecting actual route data from users during navigation and using this information to update and refine route recommendations. The system continuously receives feedback from multiple users about their actual travel paths and uses this to improve the accuracy of future route suggestions, addressing the outdated data problem through continuous learning and adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating multiple possible routes and storing them in advance. When a user requests navigation, the system already has several route options prepared, which can be quickly presented and adjusted based on real-time conditions, reducing the need for extensive real-time calculation while maintaining accuracy.
2Productivity
If navigation servers provide routes based on stored data without user input, then the system operation is simple, but the route optimization deteriorates because it cannot account for user-specific preferences and real-time conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling users to actively participate in route creation and optimization. Users can draw their own desired routes on the map interface, and the system automatically processes these user-defined paths, calculating optimal routes based on user input rather than requiring complex server-side generation of all possible routes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from traditional point-to-point route calculation to a two-dimensional map drawing interface where users can visually define their desired paths. This dimensional change allows users to specify complex route preferences through simple graphical interactions, significantly improving route optimization quality without proportionally increasing system complexity.
3Measurement precision
If the navigation system allows users to draw custom routes on the interface, then the route accuracy improves by capturing user intent, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to additional interaction steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by allowing users to draw only the critical portions of their desired route rather than requiring complete precision. The system accepts approximate user-drawn paths and automatically refines them into accurate navigation routes, reducing the operational burden on users while maintaining high route specification accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A route navigation method, include: at a first terminal in communication with a second terminal via a navigation server: obtaining a starting point and a destination that are set by a user; displaying, on a navigation interface, the starting point and the destination; drawing, on the navigation interface, route information from the starting point to the destination according to a swipe gesture of the user on the navigation interface; and sending route forwarding instruction to the navigation server, wherein sending the route forwarding instruction includes: sending the route information to the navigation server, wherein the navigation server is configured to determine a navigation path from the starting point to the destination according to the route information, and sending a request for the navigation server to forward the navigation path to the second terminal to prompt another user to arrive at the destination from the starting point in accordance with the navigation path.
