Innovation Solution

A building event response processing method and system that utilizes a decision tree model to assess and respond to events based on feature attributes, integrating data from sensors like imaging, acoustic, and presence sensors, with tiered response processing to ensure appropriate and timely actions, such as notification and evacuation guidance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a building monitoring system uses multiple sensors and comprehensive event detection, then the ability to detect events is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments event response into multiple levels (first-level response and second-level response) based on event severity and characteristics. Different sensors and processing modules are activated selectively according to the event type, avoiding the need for all sensors to operate simultaneously and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring system dynamically adjusts its response strategy based on real-time event characteristics and predefined rules. The system transitions between different response levels and activates different sensor modules adaptively, allowing the system to maintain high detection reliability while reducing complexity during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the system performs comprehensive event processing and response, then the safety and reliability of building monitoring is improved, but the time required for event processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring safetyVSAvoidevent processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The event processing is segmented into hierarchical levels: first-level response for immediate actions (such as local alarms or notifications) and second-level response for comprehensive actions (such as evacuation procedures). This segmentation allows the system to process events quickly by implementing only the necessary response level, reducing processing time while maintaining safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-defines response strategies and processing flows for different event types before events occur. When an event is detected, the system retrieves and executes the pre-planned response protocol, avoiding time-consuming real-time decision-making while ensuring safe and appropriate responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system implements multi-level response processing, then the adaptability to different event types is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent response adaptabilityVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The response processing system is segmented into distinct levels (first-level and second-level responses) with clearly defined functions and activation conditions. Each level handles specific types of events or severity levels, making the system adaptable to different event types while keeping the complexity of each individual level manageable through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
