Solution Overview

Problem

Existing disaster warning systems provide uniform information to all users, failing to account for individual user-specific information, leading to inappropriate responses to disasters.

Innovation Solution

An information providing system that acquires user-specific information and generates personalized disaster images based on user attributes and behavior, providing tailored disaster information including evacuation routes and refuge locations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If uniform warning information is provided to all users, then the system operation is simple, but the user cannot determine whether the information corresponds to himself/herself and cannot clearly recognize the degree of danger

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser recognition accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the uniform warning information into personalized information by dividing users into different groups based on their attributes (location, age, health conditions, family composition) and providing tailored disaster information, captured images, and evacuation routes to each group, thereby enabling users to clearly recognize the degree of danger specific to their situation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by customizing the information content for different user groups - for example, providing location-specific captured images of disaster-affected areas relevant to each user's residence, age-appropriate safety instructions, and health-condition-specific evacuation recommendations, making the information locally relevant to each user's situation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If personalized disaster information is provided to each user, then users can clearly recognize the degree of danger and take appropriate actions, but the information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisaster response effectivenessVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-collecting and storing user attribute information (location, age, health conditions, family composition) and pre-preparing captured images of disaster-affected areas and evacuation routes before disasters occur, so that when a disaster happens, the system can quickly retrieve and deliver personalized information without complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating standardized information templates for different user groups (e.g., templates for elderly users, templates for users with mobility issues, templates for different geographic regions) that can be rapidly instantiated and distributed, reducing the processing complexity while maintaining personalization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
