Solution Overview

Problem

Law enforcement and security organizations face challenges in identifying connections between intelligence data from various sources, leading to delayed or missed threat assessments and prevention of potential security threats due to the overwhelming volume of disparate data from sensors.

Innovation Solution

A computing device-based system that uses artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and cognitive analysis to detect potential security threats by analyzing intelligence data, including images, sound recordings, and biometric information, to determine connections between known target and collateral information elements and generate alert messages when a connection condition is met.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If law enforcement organizations collect and monitor large quantities of intelligence data from multiple sensors, then the ability to detect potential security threats improves, but the complexity of processing and analyzing this data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethreat detection capabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments intelligence data into distinct information elements (IEs) such as target IEs and collateral IEs, each with specific attributes. This segmentation allows the system to process complex data by handling smaller, organized units rather than overwhelming monolithic data structures, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive threat detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that automatically analyzes connections between information elements using pattern recognition algorithms. This intermediary layer sits between data collection and human analysis, automatically filtering and connecting IEs to reduce the cognitive load on human analysts while maintaining high threat detection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If surveillance systems collect detailed intelligence data from multiple sources, then the completeness of threat assessment improves, but the time required to process and analyze this data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethreat assessment completenessVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing by pre-defining connection conditions and thresholds for identifying relationships between information elements. Pattern recognition algorithms continuously monitor data streams against these pre-established criteria, enabling rapid identification of threats without requiring time-consuming real-time analysis of all data combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the most relevant connection information between information elements, filtering out unnecessary data processing steps. By focusing analysis on specific connection conditions that indicate threats, the system maintains complete threat assessment while significantly reducing processing time through selective rather than comprehensive data examination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If security personnel manually analyze intelligence data to identify connections, then the accuracy of threat identification improves, but the productivity of threat detection decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethreat identification accuracyVSAvoidthreat detection throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service analysis by automatically analyzing connections between information elements using pattern recognition algorithms. The system performs its own threat detection without requiring constant human intervention, maintaining high accuracy through sophisticated algorithms while dramatically improving productivity by continuously processing data without human fatigue limitations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where pattern recognition algorithms continuously learn from and adjust to new data patterns. This feedback loop allows the system to improve its accuracy over time while maintaining high processing throughput, as the algorithms become increasingly efficient at identifying threats without requiring retraining or human recalibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Various embodiments include methods and computing devices configured to detect and respond to potential security threats. A computing device may be configured to receive intelligence data (e.g., image, sound recording, biometric information, etc.) from a plurality of intelligence data collection source components, and use artificial intelligence, machine learning, pattern recognition, cognitive analysis, and/or other similar techniques to identify an element of interest in the received data and determine whether a connection condition exists between a known target information element and a known collateral information element. The computing device may generate notification or alert message identifying an existence of the potential security threat in response to determining a connection condition exists, and send the message to the appropriate component, entity, or agency.
