Person Display Control Device for Remote Location Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In environments with flat gate systems, such as office buildings and stations, security staff face challenges in identifying the location of unauthorized users or those needing assistance, as existing systems require the display unit to be in close proximity to the user, making it difficult for staff to recognize the location from a distance.
Innovation Solution
A person display control device and method that associates determination results with location information, recording this data in a database to enable displays that show the location of action-required persons from a separate location, using a system comprising read, sending, detection, determination, and display units to provide location-specific information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the display unit is provided in the floor unit where the user is standing to indicate the location of an unauthorized user, then the location can be indicated, but the staff cannot view the display from a distance
Solution Approach 1:
A communication device serves as an intermediary between the floor unit display and the staff member. The floor unit display provides location information to the communication device, which then transmits this information to a display unit located in a position where staff can easily view it, eliminating the need for staff to be physically close to the unauthorized user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a single-location display (floor unit where user stands) to a multi-dimensional information distribution system. Location information is captured at the floor unit level and then transmitted to multiple display locations including staff rooms and control centers, allowing staff to view information from various distances and positions.
2Ease of operation
If the display unit is provided apart from the unauthorized user such as in a station staff room, then staff can view the display from a distance, but the display cannot indicate the specific location of the unauthorized user
Solution Approach 1:
The communication device acts as an intermediary that captures location information from the floor unit and preserves it while transmitting to remote display units. This ensures that even when displays are located in staff rooms or control centers away from the unauthorized user, the specific location information remains intact and is displayed with appropriate contextual details.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the display function into multiple components: the floor unit display for immediate local indication, the communication device for information transmission, and remote display units for staff viewing. Each segment handles specific aspects of location information, ensuring both distance viewability and location specificity are maintained.

AI summary
A determination unit (6) determines whether a user having entered an authentication area (102) provided on a floor surface is an action-required person. A management unit (12) associates a determination result with respect to an action-required person produced by the determination unit (6) with location information of the user, and records resultant data in a person information database (13). A display control unit (14) controls a display unit (15) to display an image showing a location of an action-required person using the person information database (13).
