Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional disaster warning systems suffer from compatibility issues, single points of failure, high latency, and inefficient data transmission, leading to delayed or incomplete warnings during hazardous situations.
Innovation Solution
A communication system utilizing Post-Shannon encoded messages transmitted by IoT sensors, forming peer-to-peer networks and integrated with 5G/6G networks, ensures efficient and timely warning delivery through redundancy and minimal data transmission, using identification codes and seeds to authenticate and prioritize alerts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional warning systems use traditional communication protocols and centralized monitoring centers, then system integration and control are simplified, but compatibility issues arise, single points of failure are created, and high latency occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized monitoring system into distributed autonomous sensors that can independently detect hazards and send warnings. Each sensor operates as an independent unit with segmentation ID, eliminating the single point of failure at the monitoring center while maintaining coordination through standardized message formats.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universal Post-Shannon message formats that can be used across different sensor types, communication protocols (5G, 6G, satellite), and hazard scenarios. This multi-functional message structure ensures compatibility across diverse systems without requiring system-specific adaptations.
2Loss of information
If conventional systems transmit complete warning messages with full data, then information completeness is ensured, but data transmission volume and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential identification elements from complete warning messages, transmitting only Post-Shannon identification codes rather than full message data. The receiving devices already possess the complete message templates, so only the unique identifying portions need transmission, dramatically reducing data volume and energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by having receiving devices store complete warning message templates locally, so that when an identification code is received, the full message can be reconstructed by copying the stored template and inserting the specific identification data, avoiding transmission of redundant information.
3Speed
If conventional systems use traditional message transmission protocols, then message completeness is maintained, but transmission latency increases and speed is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the minimal necessary identification data in Post-Shannon messages, reducing message size and enabling faster transmission. The extraction of essential identification elements from complete messages allows rapid communication while maintaining information sufficiency through pre-stored templates at receiving devices.
4Reliability
If conventional systems allow any sensor to send alerts, then detection coverage is maximized, but unauthorized alerts and false warnings increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authentication by assigning unique identification codes and seeds to authorized sensors before deployment. This preliminary action ensures that only legitimate sensors can generate valid Post-Shannon messages, preventing unauthorized alerts while maintaining flexible participation of pre-authenticated sensors throughout the monitoring network.
