Priority Notification Control for Multi-Device Event Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing notification systems, it is difficult for supervisors to promptly determine the priority of events occurring in multiple technical devices, leading to delayed responses and reduced operational efficiency when multiple events require attention simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A notification system with a management computer and notification devices that accept information, receive commands, and transmit data, using rules to determine priority based on factors like urgency and group membership, allowing for immediate identification and handling of the highest priority events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple notification devices indicate events simultaneously, then comprehensive event coverage is improved, but priority determination becomes difficult and response time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the notification parameters by introducing priority-based differentiation. The management computer assigns priority levels to notification devices, and the notification portion displays different information based on priority. This allows multiple events to be covered simultaneously while enabling rapid priority determination, thus resolving the contradiction between comprehensive event coverage and quick response time.
2Measurement precision
If supervisor manually determines priority order, then accurate priority assessment is improved, but time consumption and reduced operational efficiency occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically determining priority through the management computer rather than requiring manual supervisor assessment. The notification devices transmit information to the management computer, which automatically prioritizes them based on predefined criteria. This eliminates time-consuming manual intervention while maintaining accurate priority assessment, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual supervisor assessment with an automated information processing system. The management computer receives information from notification devices, applies priority determination algorithms, and automatically generates priority orders. This substitution eliminates human time consumption while preserving accurate priority assessment capabilities.

AI summary
A notification system 1 includes a plurality of notification devices 2 and a management computer 13. Each notification device 2 includes a notification portion 24, an acceptance portion 21 to accept an information input, a wireless communication unit 15, and a CPU 23. The wireless communication unit 15 receives a command transmitted from the management computer 13 and transmits information corresponding to the information which the acceptance portion 21 has accepted to the management computer 13. The CPU 23 controls the notification portion 24 to make a notification according to the information which the acceptance portion 21 has accepted and the command which the wireless communication unit 15 has received. The management computer 13 includes a first transmitting/receiving portion 31, a storage portion 35, and a CPU 30. The CPU 30 applies the information which the first transmitting/receiving portion 31 has received from the notification devices 2 to a rule 100 stored in the storage portion 35 and determines the priority of the plurality of notification devices 2. The CPU 30 transmits, to a notification device 2 having been given the highest priority, a highest priority notification command to order an execution of a highest priority notification indicating that the notification device 2 is the highest priority notification device 2X.
