Cellular Broadcast System to Disperse Crowds - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18263473 titled 'Cellular Broadcast System to Disperse Crowds
The patent application describes a method for alerting users to overcrowding situations in a network.
- The network entity stores user equipment (UE) identifiers and region identifiers, determining the number of UEs in each spatial region.
- If the number of UEs in a region exceeds a threshold value, a warning message is transmitted to the UEs in that region.
- The warning message includes parameters that dictate the broadcast of a second message to the UEs in the region.
Potential Applications: - Crowd management in public spaces - Traffic control in urban areas - Event planning and security
Problems Solved: - Addressing overcrowding issues in real-time - Improving user experience and safety in crowded environments
Benefits: - Enhanced user safety and comfort - Efficient crowd management - Real-time alerts for users
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Crowd Management System for Public Safety" This technology can be used in smart cities, transportation systems, and event venues to improve crowd control and enhance public safety.
Prior Art: Researchers can explore existing patents related to crowd management systems, IoT devices, and network communication protocols for similar innovations.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in IoT technology, network infrastructure, and crowd management systems to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of this alerting method.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve user experience in crowded environments? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with storing UE identifiers in the network entity?
Original Abstract Submitted
This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for alerting a user equipment, UE, to an overcrowding situation by network entity, the network entity storing UE identifiers and region identifiers, already known to the network entity, for multiple UEs and for each region identifier, determining a number of UEs in a spatial region associated with the region identifier. The network entity compares comparing the determined number of UEs with a region identifier to a first threshold value. If the determined number of UEs in the spatial region exceeds the first threshold value, the network entity transmits a first message including a warning message indicator to UEs in the spatial region, the warning message indicator providing an indication of warning message parameters and, based on the warning message parameters, broadcasts a second message to the UEs in the spatial region.
