Location-Based Sensor Data Integration System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sensor, monitor, and device (SMD) data is not easily accessible or integratable, making it difficult to provide a comprehensive view of location-dependent conditions, especially for users who need real-time information for health or travel purposes.
Innovation Solution
A method that integrates location-dependent SMD data into a comprehensive database, allowing users to search for local conditions and receive alerts or generate maps and routes based on sensor data, using a server system that collects and processes data from multiple sources, including sensors and news sources, to provide location-specific information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If sensor data is collected from multiple sources, then the comprehensiveness of location-based information is improved, but the complexity of data integration and accessibility increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines data from multiple sensor sources (air quality sensors, pollen sensors, traffic sensors, news sources) into a unified location-based database. The server system merges these diverse data streams and integrates them with location information to provide comprehensive environmental conditions at specific locations, resolving the contradiction by consolidating multiple information sources into a single accessible system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server system as an intermediary between raw sensor data and users. This server receives data from multiple sensors, processes it, integrates it with location information, and provides it through a simplified interface. The intermediary handles the complexity of data integration internally while presenting a simple access method to users, thus resolving the contradiction between comprehensive information and system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If real-time sensor data is made accessible to users, then the usability for health and travel planning is improved, but the difficulty of data access and integration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a system where users can automatically receive alerts and information based on their location and preferences without manually querying multiple sources. The server system proactively pushes relevant information to users based on real-time sensor data and location tracking, making the system easy to use while handling the complex data integration automatically in the background.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal platform that provides multiple functions (air quality information, pollen levels, traffic conditions, health alerts, travel routing) through a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach allows users to access diverse environmental information and planning tools through one interface, improving ease of operation while the system internally manages the complexity of integrating data from multiple specialized sources.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of using location-dependent sensor information comprising receiving information from one or more sensor/monitor/device (SMD) and determining a location associated with the SMD. The method further comprising integrating the SMD data into a comprehensive location-based database, and enabling a user to search for local conditions in the location-based database.
