Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for triggering alerts in remote devices within computer networks lack efficient mechanisms for timely and targeted alert generation, particularly in scenarios requiring communication between user and supervisor devices, leading to delays and inefficiencies in remedial actions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a content management server to generate and send alerts based on electrical signals, incorporating a user profile database, content library database, and I/O subsystems to create graphical interfaces for delivery and assessment data packets, enabling timely and targeted alert delivery between user and supervisor devices through incremental and decrementing timers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If current alert triggering systems are used in remote devices, then alert generation can occur, but delays and inefficiencies in remedial actions occur due to lack of efficient mechanisms for timely and targeted alert generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealert delivery timeVSAvoidremedial action efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures alert templates, delivery methods, and recipient information in databases before alerts are needed. When an event triggers an alert, the system quickly retrieves and customizes pre-prepared templates rather than generating alerts from scratch, significantly reducing delivery time and improving remedial action efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a content management server as an intermediary between the triggering event and the remote device. This server manages alert generation, selection of delivery data packets, assessment data packets, and coordination with supervisor devices, creating an efficient mediated communication channel that eliminates delays in the alert delivery process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If comprehensive alert systems with multiple data packets are implemented, then targeted and effective alert delivery is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealert delivery effectivenessVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The alert system is segmented into distinct functional components: delivery data packets for alert transmission, assessment data packets for verification, user profile databases for recipient information, and content library databases for alert templates. This segmentation allows each component to be independently managed and optimized, maintaining reliability while reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The content management server performs multiple functions including alert generation, packet selection, delivery coordination, assessment management, and supervisor device communication. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems, achieving reliable targeted alert delivery without proportionally increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of time

If automated alert generation with timer mechanisms is implemented, then timely alert delivery is ensured, but automation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealert timing precisionVSAvoidalert process automation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs incrementing and decrementing timers that operate periodically to monitor alert conditions and trigger alerts at precise moments. These timers provide automated timing control without requiring complex continuous monitoring systems, achieving timely alert delivery through simple periodic checks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The alert system is fully automated to generate, deliver, and assess alerts without human intervention. The content management server autonomously selects appropriate data packets, manages timer mechanisms, coordinates with supervisor devices, and handles the complete alert lifecycle, maintaining timing precision while requiring minimal automation infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
