ROUTE GUIDANCE DEVICE, SYSTEM AND ROUTE GUIDANCE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240110794 titled 'ROUTE GUIDANCE DEVICE, SYSTEM AND ROUTE GUIDANCE METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The route guidance device described in the patent application is designed to guide a user along a movement route by acquiring location information, searching for multiple movement routes, and providing these routes to the user. The device can suggest routes using different types of moving bodies, such as riding type vehicles for roadways and self-propelled type vehicles for sidewalks.

  • Acquisition unit acquires location information, including departure and destination locations, from a communication device.
  • Search unit looks for multiple movement routes from the departure location to the destination location based on the acquired location information.
  • Provision unit provides the communication device with the searched movement routes, including routes for riding type vehicles on roadways and self-propelled type vehicles on sidewalks.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as transportation, navigation systems, and urban planning.

Problems Solved

This technology helps users find the most suitable movement routes based on their preferences and the type of transportation they want to use.

Benefits

Users can easily navigate from one location to another by receiving multiple route options tailored to their needs.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Route Guidance Device for Multiple Movement Routes" - Optimizing transportation routes for different types of vehicles can improve efficiency and safety in urban environments.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional GPS navigation systems that provide users with route options based on vehicle type and user preferences.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device prioritize between different types of movement routes?

The patent application does not specify how the device determines the best route option for the user based on the type of moving body.

What kind of user interface does the communication device have to interact with the route guidance device?

The patent application does not detail the user interface design or features of the communication device used to interact with the route guidance device.


Original Abstract Submitted

a route guidance device that guides a user along a movement route, the route guidance device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a communication device, location information including a departure location and a destination location of the user, a search unit configured to search for a plurality of movement routes from the departure location to the destination location, based on the location information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a provision unit configured to provide the communication device with the plurality of movement routes searched for by the search unit, wherein the plurality of movement routes includes a first movement route using a first moving body of a riding type capable of traveling on a roadway, and a second movement route using a second moving body of a self-propelled type capable of traveling on a sidewalk.
