Vehicle System Automatic ICE Data Retrieval via Bluetooth
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an efficient method for automatically storing and retrieving emergency contact information from wireless devices in emergency situations, particularly in vehicles, which can be critical for timely and appropriate response during incidents.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle-based computing system with a processor and transceiver that communicates with wireless devices to search for and store In Case of Emergency (ICE) information, and automatically provides this information to emergency operators when needed, utilizing Bluetooth connectivity and temporary storage for quick access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If ICE information is stored on wireless devices, then emergency contact information is available, but the system lacks automatic retrieval capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically searching for and storing ICE information from wireless devices in advance. The processor searches the address book of wireless devices for ICE information and transfers it to the vehicle's memory circuit before an emergency occurs, enabling automatic retrieval when needed without requiring complex real-time search operations during critical moments.
2Loss of time
If manual storage of ICE information is required, then device complexity is reduced, but response time in emergency situations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically performing the storage and retrieval operations without requiring manual intervention. The processor autonomously searches wireless devices for ICE information, transfers it to the vehicle's memory, and retrieves it when needed, eliminating the need for users to manually store or retrieve emergency contact information and significantly reducing response time during emergencies.
3Speed
If ICE information is stored in vehicle memory, then retrieval speed improves, but data storage capacity requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary ICE information from the complete address book of wireless devices. Instead of storing all contact information, the processor specifically searches for and transfers only the ICE contact entries to the vehicle's memory circuit, minimizing the data storage capacity required while maintaining fast retrieval speed for emergency situations.

AI summary
A vehicle communication system may retrieve “in case of emergency” (ICE) information from a wireless device. The ICE information may include contact information, medical information, etc., and may be transferred to an emergency provider, if the vehicle communication system places an emergency call. The information may also be retrieved at some point before an emergency call is placed and stored in a memory circuit of the vehicle communication system.
