Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a lost child detection system using beacons is implemented in stores, then child safety can be improved, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs multiple functions: it serves as both a shopping assistant for product information and a child safety monitoring device that receives and processes beacon signals for lost child detection. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated hardware systems, thereby improving child safety while controlling device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects the separation between the terminal device and the child (via beacon signal loss), automatically determines the child is lost, and automatically notifies the parent through the terminal device's display. This automated self-service approach improves safety response while minimizing operational complexity
2Speed
If beacon signals are continuously transmitted for real-time monitoring, then detection speed improves, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The beacon transmitter operates in periodic mode, transmitting beacon signals at predetermined time intervals rather than continuously. This allows the system to maintain real-time monitoring capability for lost child detection while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous transmission
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device receives beacon signals and continuously monitors the connection status. When the beacon signal is lost (indicating child separation), the system immediately detects and notifies the parent. This feedback mechanism enables fast detection response while using energy efficiently through periodic rather than continuous transmission
Data Source
AI summary
According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus receives a beacon signal from a beacon device detachably attached to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus acquires information relating to a distance between the information processing apparatus and the beacon device on the basis of the beacon signal. The information processing apparatus displays notification information on a display device in accordance with the acquired information.
