Safety Confirmation System for Disaster Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing safety confirmation systems require users to install applications and set up email reception settings on multiple terminals, making the operation labor-intensive and complex, which hinders quick response acquisition from a larger number of users during disasters.
Innovation Solution
A safety confirmation system that includes a safety confirmation device communicating with user-owned communication terminals and a management device managing separate information terminals, where the system generates and transmits safety confirmation information to both types of terminals, simplifying user operations and enhancing response efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If users install applications and set up email reception settings on multiple terminals, then the system can obtain responses from a larger number of users, but the operation becomes labor-intensive and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic terminal registration and safety confirmation information transmission without requiring user intervention. The management device automatically registers information terminals using authentication information from communication terminals, and the system automatically transmits safety confirmation information to both communication terminals and registered information terminals, eliminating the need for users to manually install applications or configure email settings on multiple devices.
2Quantity of substance
If users manually configure multiple terminals with applications and settings, then response coverage increases, but response time decreases due to setup complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs terminal registration in advance by storing authentication information from communication terminals in the management device. This preliminary action ensures that when a disaster occurs, the system can immediately transmit safety confirmation information to all registered terminals without requiring any setup time during the actual emergency response.
3Productivity
If the system transmits safety confirmation information to multiple terminals, then response acquisition improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management device serves as an intermediary between communication terminals and information terminals. It automatically registers information terminals using authentication information from communication terminals and manages the transmission of safety confirmation information to multiple terminals. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the coordination function, allowing efficient multi-terminal communication without complex peer-to-peer configurations.

AI summary
The disclosure simplifies an operation of a user to use a safety confirmation system. The system includes a safety confirmation device capable of communicating with the communication terminal possessed by a user and a management device managing an information terminal different from the communication terminal. The safety confirmation device comprises a generator generating safety confirmation information for confirming user's safety, a first transmitter transmitting the same information to the communication terminal, and a second transmitter transmitting the same information to the management device, and the management device comprises an authenticator associating and storing information indicating the user and information indicating the information terminal in a storage based on authentication information of the user for the safety confirmation device, stored in the communication terminal, and a transmitter transmitting the safety confirmation information received from the safety confirmation device to the information terminal associated with the user in the storage.
