Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video surveillance systems face challenges with manual monitoring being labor-intensive and error-prone due to fatigue and monotony, while AI-based systems suffer from high false positive and false negative errors, necessitating a more intelligent and user-inclusive surveillance solution.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent user interface (IUI) surveillance system that combines AI modules with user inputs to enhance real-time monitoring, allowing users to configure, monitor, and respond to AI-generated alerts, reducing false positives through a multi-layered approach involving image processing, machine learning algorithms, and user feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual monitoring is used, then user control and verification are maintained, but labor intensity and error rate increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring accuracyVSAvoidmonitoring efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges AI automated monitoring with human user verification in a hybrid architecture. The AI component processes video streams and generates alerts automatically, while the user component reviews and verifies alerts through an intelligent interface. This combination achieves both high monitoring efficiency through AI and reliable accuracy through human verification, resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user verification of AI alerts feeds back into the system to refine future detections. Users can mark alerts as false positives or true positives, and this feedback is used to retrain and improve the AI models. This continuous feedback loop maintains high reliability while preserving operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If AI-based monitoring is used, then productivity increases, but false positive and false negative errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring efficiencyVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The intelligent user interface acts as an intermediary between AI detection and final decision-making. The interface presents AI-generated alerts to users for review and verification, filtering out false positives and correcting false negatives through human judgment. This intermediary layer preserves AI's high productivity while ensuring reliable detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system collects user feedback on AI alert accuracy and uses this information to continuously improve the AI models. By analyzing which alerts users mark as false positives or true positives, the system refines its detection algorithms, maintaining high productivity while progressively improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If user feedback is collected continuously, then system learning and improvement are enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem learning capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service learning by automatically processing user feedback to improve its own performance. The feedback mechanism is integrated into the system architecture, allowing it to learn from user interactions without requiring external intervention or complex additional structures. This maintains adaptability while minimizing complexity increase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An intelligent user interface surveillance system including an image processing engine (IPE) and a control unit is provided. The IPE receives an image stream from one or more image capture devices, identifies regions of interest and disinterest in the image stream; determines interest elements therein by selectively using one or more artificial intelligence (AI) modules; and generates resultant data based on the interest elements and one or more conditions. The control unit receives the resultant data from the IPE and selectively renders the resultant data in one or more views on an intelligent user interface (IUI) for review and verification. The IUI accepts tuning parameters for the image capture device(s) and the AI modules, and accepts identified false positives. The IPE updates the AI modules and the resultant data based on the tuning parameters and the refined false positives. The control unit executes response actions based on updated resultant data.
