Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems struggle to detect signs of potential crimes before they occur, making it difficult to prevent them effectively.

Innovation Solution

A suspicious person alarm notification system utilizing cameras with artificial intelligence and radar to capture images and vital information, calculating a crime index based on vital and motion information to identify suspicious individuals and trigger alarms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If behavior identification is based on actually performed behaviors only, then the system can detect abnormal behaviors, but it cannot detect signs of crime before the crime is actually performed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrime prevention capabilityVSAvoidpre-crime behavior information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of behavior patterns to identify suspicious persons before they commit crimes. By continuously monitoring and analyzing behavior sequences, the system detects anomalies that indicate potential criminal intent, enabling preventive action before the actual crime occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The behavior analysis is segmented into multiple sequential stages: basic behavior recognition, behavior sequence construction, anomaly detection, and suspicious person identification. This segmentation allows the system to detect early signs of criminal behavior at each stage rather than waiting for the complete crime to occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple types of information (vital information and motion information) are acquired and analyzed, then the suspicious person detection accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuspicious person detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges radar-based vital information acquisition with camera-based motion information acquisition into an integrated analysis framework. By combining these different information sources and analyzing them together through a unified suspicious person likelihood calculation, the system achieves higher detection accuracy while managing complexity through integration rather than separate independent systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A suspicious person alarm notification system includes one camera including artificial intelligence and a radar and capturing an image of a person, and a server communicating with the camera. The camera receives a signal presenting in an emission direction of the radar, acquires vital information on the person from the signal, acquires, by using the artificial intelligence, motion information on the person from a captured image, calculate an index indicating suspicious person likelihood of the person based on the vital information and the motion information on the person, and transmit, to the server, person information related to the person in response to determining that the index is equal to or greater than a threshold value. The server outputs an alarm indicating that a suspicious person is detected.
