Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional disaster site commanding systems face challenges in efficiently managing and adapting wireless communication resources due to the dynamic nature of disaster responses, particularly in large-scale events where rapid changes in resource allocation and communication networks are necessary.

Innovation Solution

A disaster site integrated commanding and operating system that utilizes a Public Safety-Long Term Evolution (PS-LTE) network to dynamically group and control communication terminals, allowing for efficient management and reconfiguration of communication environments based on real-time organization and commanding system information, enabling rapid adaptation to changing situations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional commanding system is used in a disaster site, then the system structure is simple and easy to establish, but the system cannot promptly reflect changing field situations and cannot efficiently manage wireless communication resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to reflect changing field situationsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The commanding system is segmented into multiple operation groups (first operation group, second operation group, etc.), each with its own commanding network group and operation network group. This segmentation allows the system to manage complex disaster sites by dividing them into manageable units while maintaining overall coordination through the integrated commanding system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts to changing field situations by allowing real-time modification of operation groups and their associated communication resources. The integrated commanding system can promptly reflect changing situations by adjusting group compositions and resource allocations based on evolving disaster conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If wireless communication resources are manually managed in a disaster site, then the setup process is simple, but the resource allocation is inefficient and cannot respond quickly to changing operational needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for resource reconfiguration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated commanding system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor field situations and automatically adjust wireless communication resource allocation. This feedback loop enables the system to respond quickly to changing operational needs by real-time resource reconfiguration without manual intervention delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service automated management of communication resources, where the commanding system automatically allocates and reconfigures wireless resources based on operational requirements without requiring manual setup or adjustment by operators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple operation groups are deployed in a large-scale disaster, then the system can handle complex situations, but it becomes difficult to promptly establish and coordinate the commanding system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle large-scale disastersVSAvoidease of establishing commanding system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated commanding system provides universal coordination capabilities that work across multiple operation groups regardless of the specific disaster type or scale. The system maintains a standardized structure that can handle complex large-scale situations while preserving ease of operation through consistent procedures and interfaces.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated commanding system acts as an intermediary that coordinates between multiple operation groups, simplifying the establishment process by providing centralized management. This intermediary structure enables prompt system establishment by consolidating coordination functions rather than requiring separate arrangements for each operation group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Productivity

If communication terminals are not grouped by operation groups, then the network structure is simple, but the system cannot efficiently control communication resources for each operation group

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication resource control efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Communication terminals are segmented and grouped according to their associated operation groups, creating distinct commanding network groups and operation network groups. This segmentation enables efficient control of communication resources for each operation group while maintaining an organized network structure that reflects the operational hierarchy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method for a disaster site integrated commanding and operating system includes: receiving, by the disaster site integrating commanding and operating system, organization information for responding to a disaster site; specifying a first operation group corresponding to the organization information, wherein the first operation group includes a first commanding network group corresponding to a first commanding network including a first communication terminal of at least one first commanding officer, and a first operation network group corresponding to a first operation network including second communication terminals of operation resources included in the organization information; and transmitting a control signal to perform grouping of communication terminals connected to a disaster safety communication network for each group network of the specified first commanding network and first operation network, wherein the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal are each set to follow a group rule predetermined in a corresponding group.
