Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Radar systems with multiple devices struggle to efficiently guide operators to detected objects in wide areas, especially under low-light conditions, requiring prolonged search times and posing safety risks.
Innovation Solution
A radar system with multiple devices that display the detection of an object on one device and indicate the position of the detecting device using direction, distance, and coordinates, superimposing the object's location on a map, facilitating quick navigation to the detection site.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an operator uses a portable terminal to search for a detected object in a wide area, then the operator can access location information of the detected object, but a long period of time is required to find the object and the operator safety is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces another radar device as an intermediary to display the position of the first radar device that detected the object. This mediator provides directional and distance information, enabling the operator to navigate directly to the object location without prolonged searching through map interfaces on portable terminals.
2Loss of information
If an operator searches for an object while looking at a portable terminal display, then the operator can see location information, but operator safety is compromised due to distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information display function across multiple radar devices. The radar device that detects the object displays detection information, while other radar devices display position information of the detecting radar. This segmentation allows the operator to obtain necessary location information from any radar device in the field of view, eliminating the need to focus on a portable terminal and improving safety.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple radar devices monitor different areas to cover a wide area, then the monitoring coverage is improved, but the complexity of guiding operators to detected objects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes each radar device universal by enabling every radar device to perform dual functions: detecting objects in its monitoring area and displaying position information of other radar devices. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for a centralized control system, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining wide area coverage and efficient object location guidance.

AI summary
A radar system comprises a plurality of radar devices that detect an object by monitoring different areas. Each of the plurality of radar devices includes a display device. When the object is detected by any one of the plurality of radar devices, a display device of a first radar device that has detected the object produces a display indicating that the object has been detected, and a display device of a second radar device different from the first radar device produces a display indicating a position of the first radar device.
