Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals often remain unaware of threats in their surroundings until it's too late, and existing systems fail to provide timely and effective solutions for safe escape routes and threat management in unfamiliar or dangerous locations.

Innovation Solution

A threat management system that generates threat characteristic and location indicators, creates alerts, and converts them into signals to notify users via networked devices, offering alarm warnings and solutions such as security services or escape paths, while prioritizing threat solution providers based on user reviews and ratings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a threat management system provides comprehensive threat information and multiple solution options, then user awareness and safety are improved, but decision-making time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoiddecision-making time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates multiple threat solutions and escape paths before threats occur, storing them in a database. When a threat is detected, the system immediately retrieves pre-prepared solutions rather than generating them in real-time, significantly reducing decision-making time while maintaining comprehensive safety options

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates user feedback mechanisms where users can rate and review threat solutions. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from user experiences and prioritize the most effective solutions, enabling faster decision-making through refined, experience-based recommendations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the system prioritizes threat solutions based on user reviews and ratings, then solution effectiveness is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolution effectivenessVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms qualitative user feedback into quantitative parameters (ratings and reviews converted to numerical scores). These numerical parameters enable automated prioritization algorithms to rank threat solutions objectively, improving solution effectiveness while maintaining manageable processing complexity through mathematical simplification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed threat characteristics and multiple escape paths, then user awareness is improved, but information overload and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser awarenessVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments threat information into distinct categories (threat characteristics, escape paths, safety services) and presents them in a structured, hierarchical format. This segmentation allows users to process information in manageable chunks rather than receiving overwhelming undifferentiated data, improving awareness while reducing processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems and methods for managing threats at target locations of networked subscriber devices. The system may include a server connected to a network such that the server manages threats at the target locations and at threat locations. Networked subscriber devices alert respective users when the respective target locations coincide with a given threat location. The server notifies the users of respective solutions to threats and respective solution providers.
