Cellular Broadcast System to Disperse Crowds - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314516 titled 'Cellular Broadcast System to Disperse Crowds
The patent application describes a method for alerting users to overcrowding situations by a network entity.
- The network entity stores user equipment (UE) identifiers and region identifiers for multiple UEs.
- For each region identifier, the network entity determines the number of UEs in the spatial region associated with the identifier.
- If the number of UEs in a spatial region exceeds a threshold value, the network entity transmits warning messages to the UEs in that region.
Potential Applications: - Crowd management in public spaces - Safety alerts in emergency situations - Resource allocation in transportation systems
Problems Solved: - Efficiently alerting users to overcrowding situations - Improving user experience in crowded environments - Enhancing safety and security measures
Benefits: - Real-time alerts for users - Optimal resource utilization - Enhanced crowd control measures
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Crowd Management System for Public Spaces" This technology can be used in airports, stadiums, shopping malls, and other crowded areas to improve crowd management and enhance user experience.
Prior Art: Researchers can explore existing patents related to crowd management systems, location-based services, and network communication technologies for further insights.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in IoT technologies, data analytics, and communication protocols to enhance the efficiency of overcrowding alert systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user safety in crowded environments? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with transmitting warning messages to users in specific regions?
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.
