Jack Unit Server System for Emergency Call Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for providing notifications after a call to a predetermined number, such as emergency calls, require sophisticated monitoring of remote telecommunication system components or involvement of emergency services personnel, making them complex and user-unfriendly for installation and programming.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a jack unit and a server unit that detects when a call is made to a predetermined number and initiates prearranged notifications through various media, allowing users to install and program the system without requiring extensive monitoring of remote telecommunication system components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sophisticated monitoring of remote telecommunication system components is used to detect emergency calls, then notification reliability is improved, but device complexity and ease of installation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a local monitoring device that acts as an intermediary between the telecommunication system and the user. This device monitors telecommunication lines locally for emergency call patterns (such as 9-1-1 calls) and triggers notifications without requiring complex remote monitoring infrastructure. The intermediary approach maintains notification reliability while simplifying the overall system architecture.
2Measurement precision
If remote telecommunication system monitoring is implemented, then call detection accuracy is improved, but ease of operation and installation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The local monitoring device is designed to automatically detect emergency call patterns and initiate notifications without requiring user configuration or intervention. The device self-configures by monitoring telecommunication lines and automatically identifies emergency call sequences, eliminating the need for complex installation procedures while maintaining high detection accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If emergency services personnel involvement is required to initiate notifications, then notification accuracy is improved, but productivity and response time deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring notification sequences and automatically detecting emergency call patterns. When an emergency call is detected, the system immediately initiates prearranged notifications to designated contacts without requiring emergency services personnel to manually initiate the process. This preliminary preparation and automatic detection significantly reduce response time while maintaining notification accuracy through pattern recognition.

AI summary
A system for effecting at least one prearranged notification after a calling instrument places a call using a predetermined number; the system including: (a) a jack unit for coupling the calling instrument with an outgoing telecommunication connection; and (b) a server unit coupled with the outgoing telecommunication connection. The server unit is coupled with a plurality of notification media. The jack unit detects when the calling instrument places the call using the predetermined number. When the call is completed, the jack unit alerts the server unit of a completion of the call to the predetermined number. The server unit responds to the alerting by effecting the at least one prearranged notification via at least one notification medium of the plurality of notification media.
