Actionable-Intelligence Routing for Emergency Bandwidth Prioritization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems in emergency situations rely on single connections with limited data flow and fixed rules, failing to adapt to dynamic environments and prioritize communications based on multiple data points, leading to unreliable and congested bandwidth.
Innovation Solution
A system that dynamically modifies multi-path routing communication pathways using actionable intelligence from various sensors, reallocating network links and resources to prioritize communications based on event severity and priority, employing a rules engine and connection manager to manage and adapt communication networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single connection is used for data transmission, then the system is simple to manage, but the bandwidth is limited and congestion occurs during emergency situations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication system into multiple independent communication paths (first communication path, second communication path, third communication path) that can operate simultaneously. Each path handles different data types or priorities, thereby increasing total bandwidth availability without requiring a single complex high-capacity connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-dimension communication channel to a multi-dimensional communication architecture by establishing multiple parallel communication paths. This dimensional expansion allows data to flow through different routes simultaneously, effectively multiplying the available bandwidth capacity.
2Ease of operation
If fixed rules are used for data transmission, then the system is easy to operate, but it cannot adapt to dynamic emergency situations requiring prioritization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic communication path selection where the system automatically adjusts which communication path to use based on real-time conditions. The selector chooses between multiple communication paths depending on factors like data priority, path availability, and current system state, enabling adaptation to changing emergency situations without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the status of multiple communication paths and automatically adjust data routing decisions. The selector receives information about path conditions and dynamically adapts its behavior to maintain optimal communication performance during emergencies.
3Device complexity
If all communications are treated equally, then the system is simple to manage, but critical emergency communications cannot be prioritized over non-critical communications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different quality levels to different communication paths or data streams based on their priority. Critical emergency communications are assigned to high-priority paths with guaranteed bandwidth and lower latency, while non-critical communications use lower-priority paths. This local differentiation of quality ensures reliable transmission of critical data without requiring complete system redesign.

AI summary
Devices, systems, and methods are described that employ actionable intelligence in an emergency or other situation requiring immediate situational awareness, based on multiple types of input. Actionable intelligence is an output providing guidance or information that can be acted on to resolve an incident. The device can be configured to request re-allocation of resources based on incident severity, and bonding technology is used to provide improved speed and reliability in networking communications following a triggering event.
