Solution Overview

Problem

Current emergency communication systems lack the capability for sophisticated communications, limiting emergency responses to basic audio calls due to the lack of advanced functionalities in existing emergency service provider systems.

Innovation Solution

The development of an emergency management system that allows for the creation and execution of customized emergency flow scripts using modular building blocks, enabling advanced emergency response communications and notifications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If basic audio call functionality is used for emergency communications, then system simplicity is maintained, but communication capability and functionality are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments emergency communication functionality into modular building blocks that can be independently selected and combined. Each building block represents a discrete communication capability (text messaging, video calling, location sharing, etc.) that can be activated based on specific emergency scenarios, allowing the system to provide sophisticated communication without requiring all functionalities to be permanently present in the base system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The emergency communication system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple types of communications (audio, text, video, data exchange) through a single integrated architecture. The system uses standardized building blocks that can be applied across different emergency scenarios and device types, providing multi-functionality without requiring separate specialized systems for each communication mode.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If customized emergency flow scripts are implemented, then emergency response efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveemergency response efficiencyVSAvoidscript management complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Emergency response procedures are segmented into discrete, reusable building blocks that represent common actions (notification sending, contact activation, resource allocation). These segmented procedures can be individually configured and then combined through simple scripting to create customized emergency flows, reducing the complexity of managing complex emergency response logic while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary configuration of emergency response building blocks during system setup and maintenance periods. Common emergency response actions are pre-configured and stored as reusable templates, allowing rapid deployment of customized emergency flows when needed without requiring complex real-time decision-making or script creation during actual emergencies.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If additional hardware and software are installed on communication devices, then emergency flow script functionality is enhanced, but device cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveemergency flow functionalityVSAvoidhardware and software requirements

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary emergency management platform that resides on server infrastructure rather than on individual communication devices. This intermediary platform handles the execution of complex emergency flow scripts, providing enhanced functionality without requiring corresponding increases in device hardware or software capabilities. The devices simply need to communicate with the intermediary platform using standard protocols.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the need for complex local emergency response software and hardware on communication devices with a cloud-based emergency management platform. Instead of installing and maintaining sophisticated emergency response systems on each device, the functionality is substituted by remote server-based processing that devices access through standard communication interfaces.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for an emergency response data exchange system. The system provides an operations center emergency management application with a textual and/or graphical notification of emergency communications initiated on a premises managed by the operations center. The system exchanges operations center data (e.g., floorplans, video feeds, point of contact information, building access controls) with an emergency communications center (ECC) and/or with a first responder device to facilitate reducing emergency response times. The system selectively establishes communications (e.g., messaging windows) between the operations center, ECC, and/or first responder device to facilitate real-time information sharing between relevant parties of an emergency.
