Solution Overview

Problem

Existing air quality monitoring systems rely on fixed threshold values for alarming, leading to false or missed alarms due to normal indoor activities, rather than accurately detecting anomalies indicative of potential hazards like fires.

Innovation Solution

An air anomaly alarming method and device that acquires and compares indoor air composition data with a pre-generated air change pattern, sending alerts only when differences exceed preset thresholds, thereby distinguishing between normal and hazardous conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single fixed threshold value is used for alarm monitoring, then the alarm system is simple to operate, but false alarms or missed alarms occur easily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealarm system operationVSAvoidalarm accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static fixed threshold into a dynamic adaptive threshold that automatically adjusts based on historical air quality data and learned patterns of normal activities. The system continuously updates the threshold values to reflect changing environmental conditions and user behaviors, thereby maintaining high alarm accuracy without increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary learning during an initial period to establish baseline air quality patterns and normal activity ranges before entering the alarm monitoring phase. This preliminary action enables the system to distinguish between normal variations and actual anomalies, reducing false alarms while maintaining simplicity for end users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If a fixed threshold value is used for alarm monitoring, then the alarm system is easy to implement, but it cannot adapt to different scenarios and causes false alarms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealarm system implementationVSAvoidscenario adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a preliminary learning phase where it collects and analyzes historical air quality data to establish scenario-specific baselines and patterns. This preliminary action enables automatic adaptation to different scenarios (e.g., cooking, smoking, fire) without requiring manual configuration or complex implementation, maintaining ease of deployment while achieving high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The alarm system performs self-adjustment by automatically learning normal air quality patterns and adapting threshold values based on observed behaviors. The system serves itself by continuously improving its detection accuracy through automated pattern recognition, eliminating the need for manual calibration or scenario-specific configuration while maintaining implementation simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If air composition information is compared with pre-acquired air change pattern, then alarm accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealarm detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates simplified digital copies or models of normal air quality patterns through historical data analysis. Instead of implementing complex real-time pattern recognition algorithms, the system uses pre-learned reference patterns that approximate normal behaviors, achieving high detection accuracy while maintaining relatively simple system architecture through template matching approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
