Solution Overview

Problem

Current disaster management platforms face challenges in accurately specifying the accident point and efficiently managing various sensors, requiring separate sensor object modeling and real-time registration, management, and analysis systems.

Innovation Solution

A grid-based multidimensional space is used to register and manage sensors, creating grid-based data that integrates spatial information, disaster information, and sensor data to monitor disaster situations effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If spatial information based on address or coordinates is used to specify disaster location, then the system can manage disaster information, but the accuracy of specifying the accident point is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of accident point specificationVSAvoidcomplexity of spatial information system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the continuous spatial space into discrete grid cells with unique identifiers. Each grid cell represents a specific geographic area, allowing precise location identification without relying on complex address systems or coordinate transformations. This segmentation enables accurate accident point specification by mapping events to specific grid cells.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The grid-based spatial information system serves multiple functions: it identifies accident locations, manages sensor placements, tracks disaster scope, and supports risk assessment. This universal spatial framework replaces multiple separate systems (address-based, coordinate-based, sensor-specific) with a single unified grid system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate sensor object modeling is implemented to manage various sensors, then sensor management becomes systematic, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystematic sensor management capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of sensor management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a unified sensor object model that can represent different types of sensors (rainfall, temperature, location, etc.) through a common interface and data structure. This universal model enables systematic management of diverse sensors without requiring separate management systems for each sensor type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The sensor object model incorporates type-specific attributes and functionalities while maintaining a common structure. Each sensor can have specialized properties relevant to its function (e.g., measurement range, calibration parameters) while being managed through the same systematic framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If real-time registration, management, and analysis system is implemented, then disaster response efficiency improves, but the system requires more complex infrastructure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisaster response efficiencyVSAvoidcomplexity of real-time processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes the grid-based spatial framework and sensor object models before disasters occur. This preliminary setup allows the system to immediately process and analyze sensor data in real-time during disasters without requiring complex on-the-fly system configuration or initialization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
