Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for data transmission are limited in their ability to combine and process information from multiple data sources at a single data portal, restricting the evaluation and visualization of data related to persons, vehicles, machineries, assets, and environments.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device equipped with sensors and a communication unit that can collect and transmit physiological data from the user and external environmental data to a central data portal, allowing for the aggregation and processing of information from various sources for threat evaluation and data collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing systems for data transmission are used independently, then each system can transmit data from its specific source, but the ability to combine and process information from multiple data sources at a single data portal is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device is designed as a universal platform that can collect and transmit data from multiple sources (physiological sensors, environmental sensors, vehicle sensors, machinery sensors) through a single device, eliminating the need for multiple specialized transmission devices and enabling comprehensive data aggregation at the central portal
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges data collection and transmission functions into a single wearable device that integrates multiple sensor types and communication capabilities, allowing consolidation of what would traditionally require multiple separate systems into one unified device
2Adaptability or versatility
If limited modes of data transmission are used, then existing systems can operate with simple transmission protocols, but the ability to aggregate and process data from different sources at a centralized portal is constrained
Solution Approach 1:
The communication unit is designed to support multiple data transmission modes and protocols, enabling the wearable device to aggregate data from diverse sources (physiological, environmental, vehicle, machinery) and transmit them to the central portal using appropriate protocols for each data type
3Productivity
If data from multiple sources are treated as separate entities, then each data source can be processed independently, but comprehensive evaluation and visualization of combined data is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device performs preliminary processing and evaluation of data from multiple sources locally, identifying threats and anomalies before transmission to the central portal, while the central portal maintains the capability to aggregate and perform comprehensive evaluation of all data types together

AI summary
Systems and methods for threat evaluation and data collection are described herein. An example method may commence with collecting, by a wearable device, sensor data from one or more sensors installed on the wearable device. The wearable device may be worn by a user and be communicatively coupled to a central data portal and one or more external sources. The method may include receiving external sensor data from the one or more external sources. The method may continue with processing the sensor data and the external sensor data to evaluate a user state. The user state may be indicative of at least one physical threat to the user or at least one medical condition of the user. The method may further include transmitting the user state to the central data portal. The central data portal may be configured to process the user state for storage and visualization.
