Virtual Asset Overlay for Accurate Geospatial Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional delivery systems rely on subjective interpretation by delivery personnel, leading to inaccurate placement of items due to unclear or obfuscated instructions, and fail to account for the dimensions of the items being delivered, resulting in impractical or impossible delivery scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that uses geospatial information to generate a dimensionally accurate virtual asset object overlaid on aerial imagery, allowing delivery personnel to precisely determine the correct placement of items by manipulating the virtual object within a graphical user interface, ensuring accurate geographic coordinates for the delivery report.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional delivery instructions are provided to delivery personnel, then the delivery process can proceed, but the placement accuracy deteriorates due to subjective interpretation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical asset with accurate dimensional parameters and overlays it on geospatial imagery. This virtual representation serves as a precise guide for delivery personnel, eliminating subjective interpretation of text instructions and ensuring accurate placement at the intended location.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional map markings to three-dimensional virtual asset objects that incorporate actual dimensional parameters. This dimensional enhancement allows delivery personnel to visualize the true scale and spatial requirements of the asset, enabling accurate placement decisions.
2Measurement precision
If conventional work orders with text instructions are used, then delivery can be initiated, but placement precision deteriorates due to ambiguous directions
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual replica of the physical asset that preserves its dimensional characteristics. This virtual copy is displayed on geospatial imagery, providing delivery personnel with an intuitive visual guide that eliminates ambiguous text interpretation and ensures precise placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual asset object is displayed with distinct visual characteristics on the geospatial interface, making it easily distinguishable from the environment. This visual differentiation helps delivery personnel quickly identify the target placement location and understand the asset's spatial requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If simple map markings are provided without dimensional information, then the interface remains simple, but delivery practicality deteriorates due to lack of scale context
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances the interface by incorporating three-dimensional virtual asset objects with accurate dimensional parameters overlaid on geospatial imagery. This addition provides delivery personnel with scale context and spatial awareness, making the system adaptable to various delivery scenarios while maintaining interface usability.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual asset object system serves multiple functions: it provides dimensional reference, indicates placement location, shows orientation requirements, and adapts to different asset types. This multi-functionality increases delivery scenario applicability without proportionally increasing interface complexity.

AI summary
Technologies for accurate asset delivery using geospatial information are provided. Upon receiving location information related to an asset delivery, geospatial image data is retrieved for an area based on the location information. The geospatial image data comprises aerial imagery correlated with geographic coordinate information. The geospatial image data can be displayed at graphical user interface. Responsive to receiving an asset request, a virtual asset object is generated. The virtual asset object corresponds to a physical asset, wherein the virtual asset object has a plurality of dimensional parameters associated with the physical asset. The virtual asset object is displayed at the graphical user interface (GUI), and the virtual asset object is overlaid on top of the geospatial image data. Responsive to receiving user input related to a position of the virtual asset object with respect to the geospatial image data an asset delivery report is generated based on the position of the virtual asset object.
