Event Triggered Messaging Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security and automation systems lack the ability to automatically record and broadcast audio and video messages to specific individuals or groups based on their presence, location, or other conditions, requiring manual input for message delivery.
Innovation Solution
The system allows users to record and store messages, which are then automatically delivered to identified individuals or groups based on their location, presence, and other factors, using sensors and biometric data for identification, and message modules for processing and transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual input is used for message delivery, then message broadcasting can be performed, but communication efficiency and convenience are reduced due to requiring manual input
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies users through sensors and biometric data, and autonomously delivers messages without requiring manual input for message delivery. The system serves itself by detecting user presence and triggering appropriate message broadcasts automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
Messages are pre-recorded and stored in the system memory before user presence is detected. When a user arrives at the location, the system retrieves and broadcasts the pre-prepared message immediately, eliminating the need for manual message composition and delivery at the moment of interaction.
2Ease of operation
If automated message delivery based on user identification is implemented, then communication convenience is enhanced, but system complexity increases due to sensors and biometric processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple functions into a single platform: user identification through various sensors, message recording and storage, automatic retrieval based on user presence, and message broadcasting. This multi-functional integration achieves automated convenient communication while managing complexity through consolidation rather than separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The control panel serves as an intermediary device that coordinates between the sensors detecting user presence, the memory storing messages, and the broadcast output. This intermediary architecture simplifies the overall system structure by providing a central coordination point that manages the automated message delivery process.
3Extent of automation
If messages are stored for later delivery, then automated event-triggered delivery is enabled, but message retrieval time increases due to storage and identification processes
Solution Approach 1:
Messages are pre-recorded and stored in system memory before they are needed. When a user arrives at the location, the system retrieves the pre-prepared message immediately without requiring composition or processing time, enabling instant automated delivery upon user detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors for user presence through sensors and biometric data. When a user is detected, the system provides immediate feedback by retrieving and broadcasting the appropriate pre-stored message, creating a real-time automated response that minimizes retrieval time through continuous monitoring and instant activation.

AI summary
Apparatuses, techniques, and methods for a security and/or automation system are described. In some cases, these may include a first user recording a message and the message being broadcast or conveyed to a second user based on the second user's identity and/or location and/or a relevant time of recording or broadcasting, among other things. The methods may include receiving a first communication from a first user, storing the first communication in memory, identifying a second user at a first location, retrieving the first communication from memory, the retrieving based at least in part on the identification of the second user, and conveying the first communication to the second user at the first location.
