Solution Overview

Problem

Current flying body identification systems face challenges in providing appropriate information while ensuring security, as disclosing all information can be a security risk and requires situational awareness.

Innovation Solution

A flying body identification system that includes a communication terminal to obtain an airframe ID and a control system to manage and associate this ID with various pieces of information, selecting and transmitting relevant data based on the authority level of the communication terminal, thereby controlling the information disclosure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all information on flying bodies is disclosed to the public, then transparency and public awareness are improved, but security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transparencyVSAvoidsecurity risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different information levels to different users based on their authority. The control system selectively discloses information - basic flight information is publicly available while sensitive information (airframe ID, remaining energy life, detailed flight path) is restricted to authorized users only. This resolves the contradiction by making information transparency local rather than universal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments information into multiple levels of accessibility. Information is divided into publicly available data and restricted data requiring authentication. The control system manages multiple pieces of information associated with each airframe ID and selectively transmits appropriate portions based on user authority level, thus balancing transparency and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If information is selectively disclosed based on authority levels, then security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system acts as an intermediary between the flying body information and users. It receives inquiry messages from communication terminals, determines the authority level of each user, and selectively transmits appropriate information. This intermediary approach provides security without requiring complex changes to the flying bodies themselves, as the control system handles the authentication and information filtering centrally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If detailed information is provided to all users, then public awareness and security monitoring are improved, but data protection requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity monitoringVSAvoiddata protection risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts information disclosure based on user authentication results. When a communication terminal sends an inquiry message, the control system dynamically determines what information to provide based on the authority level assigned to that terminal. This dynamic response allows comprehensive security monitoring for authorized users while protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A flying body identification system according to the present example embodiment includes: a flying body; a communication terminal configured to obtain an airframe ID of the flying body; and a control system configured to control an operation of the flying body. The control system is also configured to: manage the airframe ID and a plurality of pieces of information regarding the flying body indicated by the airframe ID so as to be associated with each other; select, in a case where an inquiry message containing the airframe ID and an authority level assigned to the communication terminal is received from the communication terminal, information to be transmitted to the communication terminal among the plurality of pieces of information regarding the flying body associated with the airframe ID in accordance with the authority level of the communication terminal; and transmit the selected information to the communication terminal.
