Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for registering emergency situations, whether paper-based or electronic, require significant time and effort from first responders, leading to incomplete data collection and inefficient risk analysis due to the burden of manual data entry, which results in unrepresentative statistics and inadequate risk management.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a portable electronic device, online server, and waterproof, pocket-sized booklets with QR codes or RFID tags that allow for quick data collection and automatic data transfer to an online server, reducing the time required for registering emergency situations to less than a minute.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional paper forms or electronic forms are used for registering emergency situations, then comprehensive data collection is enabled, but the time required for registration increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection completenessVSAvoidregistration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of a portable electronic device and an online server that automatically collects and stores emergency data. The system uses QR codes or RFID tags on the booklet to trigger automatic data capture, eliminating the need for manual data entry while ensuring comprehensive information collection. This intermediary automation reduces registration time from minutes to seconds without compromising data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual data entry and physical form filling with an automated electronic system. The portable electronic device with QR/RFID scanning capability substitutes for manual paperwork, and the online server automatically processes and stores the data. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming manual operations while maintaining comprehensive data collection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If manual data entry is required for electronic forms, then data can be structured and stored, but the burden on first responders increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capabilityVSAvoidoperator workload
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service data collection where the emergency situation itself triggers the data capture process. When a first responder opens the booklet to a relevant emergency type, the QR/RFID tag automatically activates the portable electronic device to collect and transmit the data. The system serves itself by automatically structuring, validating, and storing the data without requiring operator intervention for manual entry, thus reducing workload while maintaining data reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If extensive registration procedures are implemented, then comprehensive risk analysis data is available, but the registration completion rate decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk analysis data availabilityVSAvoidregistration completion rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the registration system with all necessary fields, categories, and data structures in advance. The portable electronic device and online server are pre-programmed to automatically capture, validate, and store emergency data in the correct format. This pre-prepared infrastructure eliminates the need for first responders to spend time figuring out how to fill out forms, ensuring high completion rates while maintaining comprehensive data availability for risk analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
