Sensor Trigger Event Response Execution via Action Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Internet and mobile telecommunications services require complex setups and multiple actions from users, making them difficult to interact with simply and efficiently.
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 pre-configured actions 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 services can be provided with multiple actions and complex set-up operations, but user interaction becomes difficult and not simple
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the service interaction into two distinct parts: a simple trigger event detection component (sensor apparatus) and a complex action execution component (network server with action profiles). This allows the user interface to remain extremely simple while the backend handles complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Action profiles are pre-configured and stored on the network server before runtime. When a trigger event occurs, the system simply retrieves and executes the pre-defined action, eliminating the need for users to perform complex set-up operations or multiple actions during interaction.
2Ease of operation
If simple interaction methods are implemented, then user operation becomes easy with single button press, but service functionality may be limited
Solution Approach 1:
The network server acts as a universal platform that can execute diverse service functions through pre-configured action profiles. A single trigger event can initiate different actions (messaging, requests, notifications) depending on the profile, providing versatility without complicating the user interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The network server serves as an intermediary between the simple sensor trigger and the complex service actions. It translates the basic trigger event into appropriate service-specific actions based on pre-configured profiles, maintaining both simplicity and functionality.
3Extent of automation
If pre-configured action profiles are used, then response execution becomes automated and efficient, but initial configuration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service configuration where action profiles are created and stored in advance without requiring complex real-time setup during operation. The pre-configuration phase separates the complexity from the runtime execution, achieving high automation with manageable initial setup.

AI summary
The aspects of the present disclosure allow an extremely simple way to interact with e.g. various Internet and mo- bile 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.
