Crash Communication UI With Auto Call Options and Low Battery Load
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for initiating communication on electronic devices during a crash are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring complex user interfaces that consume time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
The method involves a computer system that detects a crash and automatically displays a call option, allowing users to quickly initiate communication by selecting it, which can include options for terrestrial or non-terrestrial wireless communication networks based on availability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to initiate communication during a crash, then communication can be established, but the process is cumbersome and time-consuming requiring multiple key presses
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures emergency communication settings and contact information before a crash occurs. When a crash is detected via accelerometer data, the system automatically retrieves and displays the pre-set emergency contact information, eliminating the need for users to manually search or input contact details during the emergency situation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and isolates the critical emergency communication function from the complex general communication interface. By presenting only the essential emergency contact option immediately after crash detection, the system removes unnecessary interface elements and steps that would otherwise slow down the communication initiation process.
2Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to initiate communication during a crash, then communication can be established, but the process consumes excessive device energy and battery power
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs crash detection and prepares emergency communication interfaces using pre-fetched data and pre-configured settings. By having emergency contact information and communication protocols ready in advance, the system minimizes the computational and energy resources required during the actual emergency response, reducing battery power consumption.
3Loss of time
If a simple automatic call is implemented, then response time is reduced, but user control and communication options are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the emergency communication interface based on the detected situation and user response. After detecting a crash, the system first presents the most appropriate communication option (such as emergency services or pre-configured contacts). If the user modifies the selection or requests additional options, the system dynamically expands the available choices, allowing flexibility while maintaining quick initial response.
