Dynamic-State Recording for Disaster Site Reports
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing disaster site reporting systems do not efficiently record and associate report contents with their corresponding dates and times, making it difficult to manage and share information effectively.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic-state recording apparatus and system that includes an input device, display, and storage means to associate report items with their respective dates and times, allowing for simple recording and transmission of this information, with optional features for displaying change logs and difference information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple operation system is used for recording report contents and timestamps, then ease of operation is improved, but the ability to effectively manage and share information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single integrated system: automatic timestamp generation, report content recording, hierarchical classification storage, and information retrieval are merged into one unified apparatus. This allows firefighters to perform all these operations through a simple single-input interface while maintaining effective information management through automated backend processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service operations by automatically generating timestamps, categorizing reports into hierarchical structures (disaster type → facility type → report content), and organizing stored information without requiring manual intervention. This enables the apparatus to maintain effective information management while requiring minimal user input.
2Loss of information
If detailed report information is recorded and stored, then information management effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information storage structure into hierarchical categories (disaster type, facility type, report content) and separates the recording apparatus into modular components: input device, display unit, and storage unit. This segmentation allows detailed information to be organized systematically without increasing overall system complexity, as each segment handles specific functions independently.
3Measurement precision
If manual recording of report contents and timestamps is performed, then information accuracy is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating timestamps and pre-organizing report content into hierarchical categories before storage. This preliminary automated processing ensures information accuracy is maintained while eliminating manual recording steps, thereby significantly improving productivity during emergency situations.

AI summary
A dynamic-state recording apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an input device configured to be operated by a user; a display; display control means for displaying, on the display, a dynamic-state recording screen containing a plurality of report items required to be reported at a disaster site; and first storage means in which, each time the user selects a next report item to be reported among the plurality of report items through the input device, the selected report item and a report date and time of the selected report item are accumulated in a state in which the report item and the report date and time are associated with each other.
