Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices using satellite positioning systems, such as GPS, struggle to generate accurate movement trajectories when the signal is weak or unavailable, leading to inaccuracies in user tracking during activities like cycling or running.

Innovation Solution

A method that involves obtaining first positioning information and attitude information to generate an initial movement trajectory, which is then corrected using second positioning information once the satellite signal is re-established, ensuring both the starting and ending points of the trajectory are accurate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If satellite positioning is used continuously to generate movement trajectory, then positioning accuracy is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs satellite positioning at specific intervals rather than continuously. The processor obtains satellite positioning information at predetermined time points during the movement trajectory generation process, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining acceptable positioning accuracy for the movement trajectory.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Measurement precision

If satellite positioning is used in weak signal areas, then positioning accuracy is improved, but the system becomes unreliable when signals are unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidtrajectory accuracy in no-signal areas
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces attitude information as an intermediary element to bridge the gap when satellite positioning is unavailable. The processor obtains attitude information from sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) and combines it with previously obtained satellite positioning information to generate movement trajectory in areas where satellite signals are weak or unavailable, ensuring continuous and reliable trajectory tracking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters used for trajectory generation based on signal availability. When satellite positioning accuracy is insufficient, the processor switches to using attitude information and other sensor data as alternative parameters for calculating movement trajectory, maintaining system reliability across different environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
