Solution Overview

Problem

Existing security systems often fail to promptly detect and respond to potential threats in real-time, leading to delayed notification and apprehension of perpetrators, as well as unrecovered stolen items in locations such as convenience stores and vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze video streams from security cameras, identifying threats through gestures, facial expressions, postures, and object states, and sending notifications to designated recipients if threat thresholds are met, enabling immediate action.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional security systems are used to monitor locations, then basic surveillance is provided, but threats are not detected promptly and response is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethreat detection accuracyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical security systems (manual monitoring, simple motion detectors) with an artificial intelligence-based automated threat detection system. The AI module analyzes video feeds, images, and sensor data to automatically identify threats such as weapons, suspicious gestures, and criminal activities, eliminating the need for human operators to manually review footage and enabling instant threat detection and notification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of security footage and live feeds using AI algorithms to identify potential threats before they materialize into actual crimes. By continuously analyzing patterns, gestures, and object states, the system can detect suspicious behavior early and issue warnings or alerts before perpetrators complete their criminal acts, thereby preventing crimes rather than just recording them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If authorities are notified after a crime occurs, then perpetrators can be found, but stolen items are often not recovered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperpetrator apprehensionVSAvoidrecovery of stolen items
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The AI system performs preliminary detection of criminal activities in progress by analyzing threats such as weapons, suspicious gestures, and robbery indicators before the crime is completed. This early detection enables authorities to intervene during the commission of the crime rather than after, significantly increasing the likelihood of both apprehending perpetrators and recovering stolen items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where detected threats trigger immediate notifications to authorities and relevant parties. The system continuously monitors the situation, updates threat assessments, and maintains communication with response teams, providing real-time feedback that enables dynamic decision-making and rapid response to prevent crime completion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If manual security monitoring is used, then system complexity is low, but detection precision and response speed are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethreat detection precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual security monitoring with an AI-powered automated system that uses machine learning algorithms, computer vision, and pattern recognition to achieve high detection precision. The system processes video feeds, images, and sensor data automatically, identifying threats with accuracy that exceeds human capabilities while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture and cloud-based processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

In some aspects, one or more processors may perform an analysis of a processed image using an artificial intelligence module. Based on the analysis, the one or more processors may determine that the processed image includes one or more threats and determine details associated with individual threats of the one or more threats. The one or more processors may determine, based on the details associated with the one or more threats, that a particular threat threshold of a plurality of threat thresholds has been satisfied. The one or more processors may add one or more annotations to the image to create an annotated image that includes the one or more threats and at least a portion of the details associated with individual threats of the one or more threats. The one or more processors may send a notification to one or more designated recipients.
