Unspecified Sender Signal Response Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication methods often require explicit responses from receivers, which can be burdensome, especially for senior individuals, and do not allow for versatile or unspecified sender/receiver interactions, limiting the ease of communication.
Innovation Solution
A signal response operation device that uses a server to manage communications between unspecified senders and receivers, allowing signals to be sent to registered devices without specifying the sender, enabling one-way communication and reducing the need for explicit responses from receivers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If explicit sender identification is required in communication, then message accuracy is improved, but communication burden on receiver increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the sender identification information from the communication signal itself, separating it from the main message content. The server extracts which device sent the signal and processes this information independently, allowing the receiver to know a signal was sent without needing to identify the specific sender, thus reducing communication burden while maintaining message accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that handles sender identification and signal routing. It receives signals from sending devices, processes the sender information, and forwards signals to receiving devices without requiring the receiver to directly identify the sender. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by handling the identification burden on the server side rather than requiring explicit identification in the communication between sender and receiver.
2Reliability
If return messages are required for all incoming messages, then communication completeness is improved, but ease of use for senior persons deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by requiring return messages only for certain types of communications rather than all messages. The system distinguishes between signals that require acknowledgment and those that do not, allowing senior persons to receive care-oriented signals without the burden of typing return messages, while still maintaining communication completeness for important interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically managing communication workflows. When a signal is sent to a receiving device, the server automatically handles the communication process, and if a return message is needed, it can be automatically generated or simplified, reducing the manual effort required from senior persons while maintaining communication completeness.
3Reliability
If sender identity is specified in every signal, then message authenticity is improved, but communication versatility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing sender identification only where necessary rather than uniformly in all communications. The server determines on a per-signal basis whether sender identification should be included, allowing authenticity to be maintained for important communications while enabling versatile, simplified communications for other purposes such as care-oriented signals or group communications.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts whether sender identification is included based on the communication context. The server can modify signal content to include or exclude sender information depending on the situation, making the communication system adaptable to different needs - maintaining authenticity when required and enabling versatility when sender specification is not necessary.

AI summary
Focusing on the diversity of how people communicate with each other, the objective of the invention is to provide a signal-responsive device that achieves a digital-based method of communicating that has been nonexistent until now. Provided is a signal response operation device which sends, to a receiving device of a receiving subject, signals from a plurality of sending devices for which senders are not specified, and causes the receiving device to operate. A server registers the receiving device of the receiving subject, and groups and registers each sending device of a plurality of the senders which includes persons who have been selected by or have agreed with the receiving subject. By any of the plurality of senders operating the sending devices, the server sends a signal to the receiving device in response to the sending of a signal from the registered sender.
