Customized Application Data Rendering for First Responders
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
First responders face critical situations where timely access to relevant information is essential, but existing systems lack the capability to provide customized and efficient access to mission-critical applications during incidents.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses an assignment identifier to customize web-based applications on devices for first responders, incorporating the identifier into links to retrieve and render tailored application data, including visual layouts and configurations specific to the responder's role and incident type, via a public safety server and browser application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a generic web-based application is provided to all first responders, then system simplicity is maintained, but the ability to provide role-specific and incident-specific customized information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates customized application data on the server side based on assignment identifiers before the first responder needs it. The server creates role-specific and incident-specific customized application data in advance, which is then transmitted to the device, eliminating the need for complex real-time customization logic on the device itself
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that receives assignment identifiers, generates appropriate customized application data, and transmits it to the device. This intermediary approach allows complex customization logic to be centralized on the server while keeping the device relatively simple
2Loss of information
If customized application data is transmitted to first responder devices, then information relevance is improved, but data transmission time and network bandwidth are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only the specific customized application data relevant to each first responder's role and incident, rather than transmitting complete application packages. This selective extraction reduces data transmission volume and time while maintaining information relevance
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of data granularity by transmitting only the necessary customized application data parameters specific to each responder's assignment, rather than complete application datasets. This reduces transmission time while maintaining relevance
3Speed
If multiple customized application data sets are stored on devices, then access speed is improved, but device memory requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary generation and preparation of customized application data before transmission. By pre-processing and organizing the data on the server side, the device receives ready-to-use customized data that can be quickly accessed without needing to store multiple complete application versions
Data Source
AI summary
A device, system and method for generating and rendering customized application data for first responders is provided. A device receives an assignment identifier and input to access a web-based application using a link and a browser application. The device incorporates the assignment identifier into the link to generate a customized link and launches the browser application using the customized link to retrieve customized application data indicative of the web-based application customized according to the assignment identifier. The device controls a display screen to render the customized application data in the browser application. A server receives the customized link from the device, generates the customized application data, indicative of the web-based application customized according to the assignment identifier, and transmits the customized application data to the device.
