Elevator Floor Content Notification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current elevator information systems primarily display only floor numbers and lack dynamic, user-specific content information, relying on temporary and manually updated notifications.
Innovation Solution
A device and method that utilize a processor and storage to receive destination floor information and display data notifications to users based on the content of the destination floor, using a server that can personalize and dynamically update notifications based on user data and statistical analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual and mechanical notification insertion is used, then flexibility in content updating is achieved, but labor intensity and temporary nature of information increase
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system automatically retrieves and displays floor-related information without manual intervention. The processor autonomously receives destination floor input, queries the database for corresponding notifications, and displays them, eliminating the need for manual insertion and replacement of physical notifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manually inserting and removing physical notifications with an electronic information processing system. The processor-based system electronically retrieves, stores, and displays notification data from a database, substituting mechanical operations with automated computational processes.
2Loss of information
If only floor number display is provided, then system simplicity is maintained, but information completeness and user engagement decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit serves multiple functions: it displays the floor number, retrieves additional floor-related information from the database, and presents relevant notifications to users. This multi-functional approach provides comprehensive information without requiring separate dedicated devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
Floor-related information and notifications are pre-stored in the database before the elevator reaches the destination floor. When the elevator arrives, the processor quickly retrieves the pre-prepared information and displays it immediately, providing complete information without adding significant processing time or complexity.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If temporary physical notifications are used, then content can be updated, but information persistence and accessibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using physical notifications that must be manually replaced, the system creates and stores digital copies of notification information in a database. These digital copies can be instantly retrieved and displayed multiple times without physical replacement, ensuring continuous availability and easy updates through data modification rather than physical manipulation.
