Solution Overview

Problem

Current accident investigation processes are inefficient due to manual collection of witness and evidence information, leading to resource wastage and delays in reconstructing the accident scene.

Innovation Solution

An accident information aggregation and management system utilizing a first and second server, along with evidence data sources, to quickly and automatically collect witness information and evidence data based on time and position information, and provide scene simulation for investigators.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual collection of witness and evidence information is used, then investigators can gather information, but the process consumes excessive time and resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation collection efficiencyVSAvoidinvestigation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of information collection with an automated electronic system. Servers automatically query databases using accident time and position information to retrieve witness statements and evidence data, eliminating the need for manual investigation work and dramatically reducing collection time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service information retrieval where the server automatically performs database queries and data collection based on accident information. The system serves itself by automatically matching accident data with relevant witness and evidence information from databases without requiring manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual organization of evidence is performed, then all evidence can be collected, but the reconstruction of accident scene is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of evidence collectionVSAvoidscene reconstruction time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing witness information and evidence data in databases before accidents occur. When an accident happens, the server quickly queries and retrieves relevant pre-organized data, enabling rapid scene reconstruction while ensuring comprehensive evidence collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between accident information and the database containing witness and evidence data. It automatically queries, retrieves, and organizes relevant information, serving as a mediator that bridges the gap between raw accident data and structured evidence needed for scene reconstruction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If investigators manually filter relevant information, then accuracy can be maintained, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of information filteringVSAvoidinvestigation resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual information filtering with automated server-based database queries. The server systematically retrieves relevant witness and evidence information based on accident time and position parameters, maintaining filtering accuracy while eliminating manual labor and associated resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Accident information aggregation and management methods are disclosed. The Accident information aggregation and management method includes receiving an accident information from a first server, wherein the accident information includes a time information and a position information for an accident; searching whether any event data that is nearby the time information and the position information can be found in a database; if so, obtaining at least one witness information and evidence data source according to the found issue data; and providing the at least one witness information and evidence data source to the first server such that the first server can use the at least one witness information and evidence data source for further accident investigation.
