I approached problem-solving with an unconventional mindset and would like to share my experience.

We faced a challenge with an Android-based IVI system that had intermittent connectivity issues. The system needed to support real-time traffic updates and remote diagnostics, but the unreliable connectivity posed a significant obstacle.

To address this challenge, we focused on ensuring that real-time updates and diagnostics functioned smoothly despite the connectivity interruptions. Instead of relying solely on a constant internet connection, we implemented a hybrid solution. We utilized local caching to temporarily store critical data during connectivity loss and synchronized the data with the server once the connection was restored.

We developed a robust caching mechanism to store traffic updates and diagnostic data locally. Additionally, we implemented algorithms to prioritize and sync the most critical data first whenever connectivity was available.

As a result, the system was able to provide real-time updates and diagnostics even during connectivity interruptions. This approach significantly enhanced the user experience and the reliability of the system.

By thinking creatively and implementing a hybrid solution, we successfully overcame the challenge of intermittent connectivity, ensuring seamless functionality and boosting user satisfaction.
