Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vaccine management systems face challenges in efficiently tracking vaccine inoculation history and ensuring compatibility of vaccines, leading to potential side effects and inventory issues due to inadequate real-time identification and management of inoculation subjects and vaccine information.
Innovation Solution
A vaccine management system that includes a device with an identification code recognition unit, which scans and merges subject person and vaccine identification codes, transmitting this data to a management server to generate and manage inoculation histories, ensuring compatibility and optimizing inventory through real-time data management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual vaccine management methods are used, then system complexity is reduced, but vaccine inoculation history tracking accuracy and real-time management capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical recording methods with an automated identification code recognition system. The device automatically scans and recognizes subject person identification codes and vaccine identification codes, eliminating manual data entry and significantly improving tracking accuracy while managing complexity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service functionality where the identification code recognition device automatically performs data collection, merging, and transmission without requiring manual intervention. The device autonomously identifies subjects, recognizes vaccines, merges information, and transmits data to the management server, improving accuracy while keeping the system relatively simple to operate.
2Productivity
If separate management of subject person information and vaccine information is maintained, then data security is improved, but information management efficiency and compatibility verification deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges subject person identification information and vaccine identification information into a single integrated data structure. The identification code recognition device collects both types of codes, merges them into unified information, and transmits them together to the management server, enabling efficient management and reliable compatibility verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a management server as an intermediary that receives merged identification information from the recognition device. The server acts as a mediator that processes the combined data, verifies vaccine compatibility, and manages inoculation histories, thereby ensuring reliability while maintaining information security through centralized controlled access.
3Reliability
If real-time data transmission of merged identification information is implemented, then vaccine compatibility verification is improved, but data transmission volume and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential identification information needed for compatibility verification. Instead of transmitting all possible subject and vaccine data, the system specifically extracts and transmits only the identification codes and essential merged information required for verification, reducing data transmission volume while maintaining verification reliability.
4Reliability
If comprehensive vaccine inoculation management is implemented, then side effect prevention is improved, but system operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by verifying vaccine compatibility before inoculation occurs. The system collects identification codes, merges information, and verifies compatibility in advance through the management server, preventing potential side effects before they can occur. This automated preliminary verification improves reliability while keeping operation simple for users.

AI summary
An operating method of a vaccine management device of the present invention includes: waiting, by the identification code recognition unit, recognition of an identification code; determining, when a first identification code is recognized in the first waiting step, whether the first identification code is a subject person identification code of a vaccine inoculation subject person; waiting, when the first identification code is the subject person identification code, recognition of a vaccine identification code; determining, when a second identification code is recognized in the second waiting step, whether the second identification code is the vaccine identification code; and transmitting, when the second identification code is the vaccine identification code, data obtained by merging subject person identification information corresponding to the subject person identification code and vaccine identification information corresponding to the vaccine identification code, to a management server.
