Solution Overview

Problem

Existing emergency reporting systems face challenges in ensuring safe and smooth rescue operations when the storage device fixed to an accident vehicle is damaged during emergencies, as rescue workers cannot access critical specification data.

Innovation Solution

An emergency reporting system comprising a first server, a second server, and a reporting device connected via a network, with databases outside the vehicle storing vehicle identification and model-specific rescue information, allowing the system to transmit relevant rescue information to rescue workers' terminals, enabling them to safely rescue occupants even if the vehicle's storage device is damaged.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If specification data is stored in a storage device fixed to the vehicle, then rescue workers can load the data for safe and smooth rescue operations, but the storage device may be damaged due to collision accidents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailability of rescue informationVSAvoiddamage to storage device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the rescue specification data from the vehicle's storage device and stores it externally on servers (first server with first database, second server with second database). This allows rescue workers to access the data through terminal devices without relying on the vehicle's storage device, thus preventing damage to the external storage infrastructure from affecting data availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces servers and terminal devices as intermediaries between the rescue workers and the rescue specification data. The first server stores vehicle identification information, the second server stores model-specific rescue information, and terminal devices enable workers to access this data remotely, creating a protective layer that isolates the data infrastructure from physical damage to the vehicle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the storage device is damaged in an accident, then the vehicle cannot provide rescue information, but rescue operations may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to rescue dataVSAvoiddata availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The rescue specification data is extracted from the vehicle's storage device and relocated to external servers. This extraction ensures that data access does not depend on the vehicle's storage device integrity, allowing rescue workers to reliably access rescue information through terminal devices even when the vehicle's storage device is damaged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal access mechanism where multiple terminal devices can access the same rescue specification data from external servers. This multi-functionality ensures that regardless of which terminal device is used, rescue workers can consistently obtain the required information, enhancing both ease of operation and reliability.

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

3Reliability

If rescue information is transmitted to rescue workers' terminals, then workers can access necessary data even if vehicle storage is damaged, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverescue information accessibilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the rescue information system into distinct functional components: the first server storing vehicle identification information, the second server storing model-specific rescue information, terminal devices for data access, and communication interfaces. This segmentation distributes the system across multiple independent elements, enhancing reliability through redundancy while organizing complexity into manageable, specialized modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces servers and communication networks as intermediaries that manage the complexity of data transmission. These intermediaries handle the sophisticated tasks of data storage, retrieval, and transmission, allowing the terminal devices to remain relatively simple while ensuring reliable access to rescue information through the intermediary layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An emergency reporting system includes first and second servers, a reporting device, a first database in which identification information of a vehicle and a vehicle model are registered, and a second database in which model-specific rescue information is registered, the first and second databases being disposed outside the vehicle. The reporting device includes a reporting unit that reports accident information of an accident vehicle to the second server. The second server includes a transfer unit that transfers the reported accident information to a prescribed rescue organization and the first server. The first server includes a receiving unit that receives the transferred accident information, an extracting unit that extracts rescue information of a vehicle model corresponding to identification information included in the received accident information from the first and second databases, and a transmitting unit that transmits the extracted rescue information to a terminal device of a rescue worker.
