Wireless Navigation System with Segmented Route Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless navigation systems fail to provide automatic guidance to unknown final destinations, especially in unmapped areas, and lack segmentation of routes with measured segments and landmark identification, requiring users to navigate using additional devices and internet-dependent data.
Innovation Solution
A wireless automatic navigation system incorporating a destination and route database server, web mapping server, navigation module, sensors, and a supra operating system that overlays routes and landmarks on a standard mapping application, using GPS and sensor data to provide real-time direction and segment length information, even without internet connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current wireless navigation systems provide turn-by-turn directions to user-selected destinations, then routing functionality is achieved, but automatic guidance to unknown final destinations in unmapped areas is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The route is divided into multiple segments with identified start and end points marked by landmark photos. Each segment can be navigated independently, allowing the system to provide reliable guidance even when the final destination is unknown by breaking down the journey into manageable portions with verifiable checkpoints.
Solution Approach 2:
Routes are pre-segmented and stored in the database with landmark identifiers before navigation begins. This preliminary structuring enables the system to automatically guide users through predefined segments without requiring real-time destination selection or internet connectivity during navigation.
2Measurement precision
If route segmentation with landmark identification is implemented, then navigation precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Landmark photos are captured and stored as reference images at key points along the route. These photo copies serve as identifiers for route segments, enabling precise location verification without requiring complex geometric calculations or additional hardware markers.
Solution Approach 2:
The landmark photos serve multiple functions: they identify route segments, verify user position, provide visual navigation cues, and act as checkpoints for automatic guidance. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each navigation task.
3Measurement precision
If expert-designed routes are stored and processed, then navigation accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Only essential route data (segment definitions, landmark photo identifiers, start and end points) is extracted and stored in the database, rather than storing complete detailed maps or requiring continuous internet access. This extraction reduces data processing requirements while maintaining navigation accuracy through the segmented structure.
4Ease of operation
If automatic guidance functionality is added, then user convenience is improved, but dependency on internet connectivity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Routes are pre-segmented and stored in the database with landmark identifiers before navigation begins. This preliminary structuring enables the system to automatically guide users through predefined segments without requiring real-time destination selection or internet connectivity during navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses locally stored segmented route data and landmark photos to provide automatic guidance without requiring continuous internet access. The device serves itself by comparing real-time sensor data with pre-stored route segments, enabling offline operation while maintaining automatic guidance functionality.
