Sensor Trigger Event Response Execution via Network Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Internet and mobile telecommunications services require complex setup operations and multiple user actions, making them difficult for end-users to interact with effectively.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a sensor apparatus that sends a unique identification message over a wireless network in response to a trigger event, allowing a network server to execute a pre-configured response action based on an associated action profile, enabling simple interaction with services via a single button press or event.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional Internet and mobile telecommunications services are used, then service functionality is provided, but complex setup operations and multiple user actions are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the service interaction into two distinct parts: a simple sensor apparatus that only captures trigger events and sends identification messages, and a separate network server that handles all complex processing, action profile management, and response execution. This segmentation allows the sensor apparatus to remain extremely simple while the server handles complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The network server acts as an intermediary between the simple sensor apparatus and the various Internet/mobile telecommunications services. The server receives identification messages from the sensor, accesses pre-configured action profiles, and executes appropriate response actions through various network nodes, thereby simplifying user interaction while maintaining service functionality.
2Device complexity
If a sensor apparatus sends only identification messages, then device complexity is reduced, but service customization capability must be handled elsewhere
Solution Approach 1:
Action profiles are pre-configured and stored on the network server before any trigger events occur. These profiles contain all necessary customization information including response actions, recipient data, and message content. When the sensor apparatus sends an identification message, the server simply retrieves the pre-configured profile, eliminating the need for the sensor apparatus to have customization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-configuration where users can predefine and edit parameters of response actions through a graphic user interface. The action profiles are automatically created and stored on the server, allowing the system to serve itself without requiring complex sensor apparatus functionality for customization.
3Speed
If pre-configured action profiles are stored on the network server, then service response time is improved, but initial setup time is required
Solution Approach 1:
Action profiles are configured in advance and stored on the network server before actual use. This preliminary configuration allows the system to respond immediately to trigger events by simply retrieving pre-prepared action profiles, achieving fast response times while accepting the one-time initial setup investment.

AI summary
The aspects of the present disclosure allow an extremely simple way to interact with e.g. various Internet and mobile telecommunications related services, for example by a single button press. An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device comprised in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile.
