Wearable Vehicle Navigation Integration for Health-Aware Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional navigation systems require separate settings for vehicle traveling and walking courses, making it difficult to manage destination time systematically and do not consider a user's health conditions or exercise propensity.
Innovation Solution
A method using a wearable device and a vehicle head unit to combine navigation courses via wireless communication, where monitoring information is used to determine both walking and vehicle traveling courses, with navigation provided by the wearable device for walking and the vehicle head unit for driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate navigation systems are used for walking and vehicle traveling, then each navigation system can provide dedicated routing, but the user has to set destinations separately which causes difficulty in systematic management of destination time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines separate walking navigation and vehicle navigation systems into a unified navigation system. The server integrates both navigation types and provides a single destination setting that generates both walking and vehicle routes simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate destination inputs while maintaining dedicated routing capabilities for each mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified navigation system serves multiple functions by handling both walking and vehicle navigation through a single interface. The system can switch between different navigation modes (walking/vehicle) and provides comprehensive routing services including course determination, time estimation, and real-time guidance for both navigation types through one destination setting process.
2Productivity
If conventional navigation systems are used, then basic routing functionality is provided, but the propensity or desire of exercise and the body state of the driver are not completely taken into account in the setting of a walking destination
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by receiving monitoring information from wearable devices about the user's health status, exercise propensity, and body state. This feedback is used by the server to adaptively adjust navigation parameters such as route selection, pace recommendations, and time estimates, making the navigation system responsive to real-time user conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation system transitions from static, pre-programmed routes to dynamic, adaptive routing that changes based on real-time user health data. The system continuously monitors user state through wearable devices and adjusts the navigation plan dynamically, modifying course recommendations and time estimates according to the user's current physical condition and exercise goals.
3Ease of operation
If a unified navigation system combining walking and vehicle courses is implemented, then convenient navigation with single destination retrieval is achieved, but wireless communication and data integration between wearable device and vehicle head unit are required
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that receives monitoring information from the wearable device, processes the data, and generates integrated navigation routes. The vehicle head unit serves as another intermediary that receives navigation data from the server and displays it to the user. These intermediaries simplify the communication architecture, allowing the user to interact with a single interface while the system handles complex data integration in the background.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for providing navigation using a wearable device by a vehicle includes performing wireless connection with the wearable device, receiving monitoring information regarding a driver from the connected wearable device, and determining, after setting of a destination, a walking course and a vehicle traveling course to the set destination in consideration of the monitoring information. Navigation for the walking course is provided by the wearable device and navigation for the vehicle traveling course is provided by a head unit of the vehicle.
