Entrance Detection Device for Automatic Mobile Message Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile radio devices face difficulties navigating and finding information about their surroundings, as existing systems require manual effort to search for and receive reminders and location-specific information, often resulting in inefficient navigation and missed tasks due to poor detection precision.
Innovation Solution
A system with a sensing device at facility entrances that detects user passage via an input element, independent of mobile networks, and transmits targeted messages to the user's mobile device, using contact information stored in a storage device, ensuring precise location detection and needs-based information delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually search for facilities and specify reminders, then they can receive location-specific information, but the navigation process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user passage through entrances using detection devices and independently sends targeted messages without requiring manual user input. The detection device autonomously identifies when a user enters a facility and triggers message transmission, eliminating the need for users to manually search for facilities or specify reminder details.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures detection devices at facility entrances to automatically recognize user passage and trigger appropriate messages in advance. By having detection devices positioned and programmed beforehand, the system prepares to deliver location-specific information immediately upon user arrival, eliminating delays associated with manual searching and specification.
2Loss of information
If users independently search for facilities, then they can find location-specific information, but the search process becomes difficult and may result in missed facilities
Solution Approach 1:
The detection device provides automatic feedback to the user by detecting passage through entrances and triggering appropriate messages. This closed-loop system ensures users receive relevant information about facilities they have entered without needing to actively search or query, preventing information loss while simplifying the interaction to a passive receive mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection device acts as an intermediary between the facility and the user, automatically detecting passage and translating it into triggered messages. This intermediary eliminates the need for users to directly search for facilities, reducing search complexity while ensuring complete information delivery about entered facilities.
3Measurement precision
If the system uses mobile radio network for detection, then it can transmit messages, but the detection precision decreases and requires user activity
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces mobile radio network-based detection with a local detection device that uses optical or electromagnetic fields to detect passage through entrances. This substitution achieves higher detection precision by using dedicated detection infrastructure at facility entrances rather than relying on mobile network signals, while simultaneously eliminating the need for user activity since detection occurs passively at the entrance.
