Solution Overview

Problem

Current IoT systems primarily focus on tracking and monitoring individual objects independently, lacking the ability to detect divergence or convergence of related objects in motion and apply asymmetric rules to manage their behavior effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method that receives motion data from multiple objects, applies asymmetric correlation rules to determine baseline states and correlation relationships, and generates notifications when objects deviate from expected motion vectors, allowing for timely interventions such as alerts or actions to manage anomalies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If individual object tracking is implemented, then object location monitoring capability is improved, but the ability to detect divergence or convergence of related objects deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject location monitoring capabilityVSAvoiddivergence or convergence detection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines individual object tracking with relationship-based monitoring by integrating motion data from multiple objects and applying asymmetric correlation rules. This merging allows the system to simultaneously maintain precise individual tracking while detecting divergence or convergence patterns between related objects, resolving the contradiction between individual monitoring capability and relational detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If symmetric correlation rules are applied to monitor object relationships, then relationship detection capability is improved, but the ability to handle asymmetric motion patterns deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelationship detection capabilityVSAvoidasymmetric motion pattern handling capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements asymmetric correlation rules that define different baseline states and motion expectations for different objects in a relationship. Instead of applying uniform symmetric constraints, the system allows each object to have its own baseline state (e.g., stationary or moving) and correlates motion only when appropriate, enabling reliable detection of asymmetric motion patterns while maintaining relationship detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Measurement precision

If baseline state of motion is defined for each object, then motion anomaly detection is improved, but the complexity of defining and managing baseline states deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion anomaly detection precisionVSAvoidbaseline state management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by defining baseline states specific to each object's characteristics and context rather than using a universal baseline. Each object can have its own baseline state (stationary or moving), and the asymmetric correlation rules apply these local baselines appropriately. This approach maintains high anomaly detection precision while managing complexity through contextual appropriateness rather than uniform complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Systems and methods may include receiving first and second motion data about first and second objects, respectively. The systems and methods may include applying an asymmetric correlation rule (ACR) to the first and second motion data. The ACR may define a baseline state of motion for the first object and a correlation relationship between the first and second objects. The systems and methods may include determining whether the first object is in the baseline state and, in response to determining that the first object is not in the baseline state, determining whether a first motion vector of the first object is sufficiently correlated with a second motion vector of the second object. The systems and methods may include, in response to determining both that the first object is not in the baseline state and that the first and second motion vectors are not sufficiently correlated, generating an anomalous behavior notification.
