Solution Overview

Problem

Large organizations face challenges in disseminating real-time information across multiple rooms and locations due to spatial dispersion and communication barriers, such as noise from heavy machinery, making it difficult to maintain effective communication and coordination.

Innovation Solution

An organization information distribution system that connects devices through a communication network, allowing for the deployment of immediate views and actions across the organization. This system includes content management devices, servers, and communication modules that analyze organization profiles to determine actions and content to be displayed on various devices in response to trigger events, enabling real-time information dissemination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional communication methods are used in large organizations, then device complexity is reduced, but real-time information dissemination across multiple locations becomes ineffective

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereal-time information disseminationVSAvoidcommunication system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication system is segmented into multiple independent content management devices distributed across different locations. Each device independently manages local content and can operate autonomously, reducing the complexity of centralized control while enabling reliable real-time information dissemination across the organization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Invocation devices serve as intermediaries between users and the content management system. These simple devices trigger content delivery without requiring complex user interactions or deep system knowledge, thereby maintaining ease of operation while enabling effective real-time communication across the organization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual information distribution is used, then device complexity is minimized, but time loss increases due to delayed information dissemination

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation dissemination speedVSAvoidtime delay in communication

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Content is pre-loaded and cached at distributed content management devices before it is needed. When information is required, the system can immediately retrieve and display pre-positioned content, eliminating time delays associated with real-time data retrieval and enabling rapid information dissemination across the organization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous operation of content delivery through persistent connections between invocation devices and content management devices. Information flows continuously without interruption, ensuring that real-time updates are immediately propagated across all locations without time loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If centralized content management is used, then manufacturing precision of information delivery is improved, but adaptability to different locations decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelocation-specific content adaptationVSAvoidinformation delivery consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Each content management device is configured with location-specific content and parameters tailored to its particular environment. This allows the system to adapt to different locations while maintaining consistent information delivery quality, as each device independently optimizes content delivery for its specific context.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts content delivery parameters based on real-time conditions at each location. Content management devices can adapt their behavior according to local requirements, network conditions, and user needs, enabling both versatility across locations and precision in information delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Various techniques provided herein generate trigger events in an organization information distribution system. Various implementations establish a connection between an invocation device and a server using a communication network. Establishing the connection can include authenticating the invocation device to the server and/or authenticating the server to the invocation device. In response to establishing the connection to the server, one or more implementations detect a trigger event, such as the actuation of a hardware mechanism and/or a sensor detecting the trigger event without user-intervention. Some implementations capture content based on a point in time associated with when the trigger event occurs. Upon detecting the trigger event, various implementations forward a notification of the trigger event and/or the captured content.
