Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for monitoring motor fitting work information lack real-time communication capabilities, leading to delayed responses to urgent events and reduced operational effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

A system that includes sensors, a processing module, and a communication device to detect and transmit real-time work information of motor fittings, analyzing parameters and sending alerts to responsible personnel via their communication devices, allowing for immediate awareness and management of abnormal conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a control panel or central control room is used to monitor motor fitting work information, then the monitoring function is provided, but real-time response to urgent events is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time response capabilityVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from centralized monitoring (control panel/control room) to distributed mobile monitoring (portable devices carried by personnel). This dimensional change in information delivery enables real-time alerts to reach responsible personnel wherever they are, eliminating the time loss associated with centralized monitoring while maintaining reliable monitoring coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a communication device as an intermediary between the motor fitting monitoring system and responsible personnel. This intermediary receives work information and abnormal event notifications, then delivers them to the appropriate personnel via portable devices, resolving the time delay issue while maintaining system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If sensors are constructed to motor fitting components, then work information can be transmitted, but the system requires a control center reducing operational convenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework information transmissionVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the monitoring function from the centralized control center and delivers it directly to portable devices carried by responsible personnel. This extraction maintains complete work information transmission while dramatically improving operational convenience, as personnel can monitor and respond to motor fitting status anywhere without returning to a control center.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If real-time work information is transmitted to a control center, then monitoring is enabled, but urgent events cannot be captured in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework information completenessVSAvoidurgent event detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where abnormal events are automatically detected by the monitoring system and immediately notified to responsible personnel via portable devices. This closed-loop feedback ensures both complete work information transmission and reliable urgent event detection, as the system actively alerts personnel rather than requiring them to continuously check the control center.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system for managing real-time work information of a motor fitting provides a sensor set at the motor fitting to transmit the real-time work information to a processing module. A processing unit of the processing module sends type information and a real-time work parameter according to the real-time work information. When a detection unit determines the real-time work parameter is fallen outside a normal work parameter according to a lookup table stored in a database and the type information, the detection unit generates an abnormal-notification signal for transmission. When an application procedure of the application-processing unit is triggered, the application-processing unit activates a play unit to play the normal work parameter, and further the activated play unit plays notification information upon receiving the abnormal-notification signal.
