Wireless Identifier Transmission for Location-Based Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing outdoor information dissemination systems are costly to set up and maintain, and they struggle to provide high-quality data transmission, especially for video and audio, while conventional GPS signals lack accuracy for location-based information.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for wirelessly transmitting and receiving information using identifiers associated with resources, where a server provides dynamic location-based information, and mobile devices receive this information via wireless communication protocols, allowing for efficient data management and accurate positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional outdoor display apparatuses are used to provide location-based information, then information availability is improved, but setup and maintenance costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that stores and manages location-based information resources. Instead of requiring expensive outdoor display apparatuses to store and manage all information locally, the server acts as a centralized intermediary that mobile devices can access wirelessly. This reduces the complexity and cost of outdoor infrastructure while maintaining information availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables mobile devices to access and display copies of location-based information from the server rather than requiring physical outdoor displays. The identifier transmitted by the outdoor apparatus allows mobile devices to retrieve and display information locally, eliminating the need for expensive permanent outdoor display installations while maintaining information accessibility.
2Loss of information
If network data transmission is increased to meet growing demand for mobile sensors and apparatuses, then data availability is improved, but transmission quality and costs deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information transmission into two parts: (1) lightweight identifier transmission via wireless communication from outdoor apparatuses, and (2) detailed information retrieval via network connection from mobile devices to the server. This segmentation reduces network load and improves transmission quality by minimizing the amount of data transmitted over the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The server pre-stores location-based information resources associated with various identifiers. When a mobile device receives an identifier from an outdoor apparatus, the information is already prepared and available on the server, eliminating the need for real-time data generation or complex real-time network queries, thus improving transmission efficiency and quality.
3Loss of information
If conventional GPS signals are used for positioning, then location information is provided, but accuracy is insufficient for growing demand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the outdoor apparatus and server as intermediaries to enhance positioning accuracy. Instead of relying solely on GPS, the system transmits identifiers from known outdoor apparatus locations to mobile devices, which then retrieve precise location information from the server. This intermediary approach provides more accurate location data than GPS alone by using fixed, known positions of outdoor apparatuses as reference points.
