Mobile Terminal Emergency Camera for Location Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication systems lack an efficient method to easily capture and transmit location and surrounding circumstances during emergencies such as kidnappings or accidents, which hinders precise user location identification and timely intervention.
Innovation Solution
A mobile communication terminal equipped with a camera that can capture images and videos independently in emergency mode, transmitting this information through a server to a secondary terminal, allowing for precise location identification and emergency response.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mobile communication terminal uses traditional communication methods without camera integration, then the device complexity remains low, but the ability to capture and transmit location and surrounding circumstances during emergencies is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera module with the mobile communication terminal to enable image capture functionality. The camera captures surrounding images during emergency situations, and these images are transmitted via the communication terminal to provide visual information about the emergency location and surroundings, thereby improving reliability without requiring a completely new system design
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile communication terminal is designed to perform multiple functions: traditional communication, location tracking, and now image capture and transmission. The terminal serves as a multi-functional device that can handle emergency situations by capturing visual data, determining location, and transmitting both location and image information to relevant authorities
2Loss of time
If the camera captures images independently without user commands during emergency mode, then the response time is reduced, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is configured to automatically enter emergency mode and activate the camera upon detecting an emergency situation, without requiring continuous user input. The preliminary setup of emergency mode parameters and the automatic activation mechanism ensure that the camera captures images immediately when needed, reducing response time while managing energy consumption through automated control
3Loss of information
If the terminal transmits both location information and captured images during emergency mode, then the information completeness improves, but the data transmission load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges location information and captured image data into a single transmitted package. The terminal combines these two types of information and transmits them together to the receiving end, ensuring that both location and visual details are provided in one transmission event, thereby improving information completeness while managing transmission load through efficient data packaging
