Solution Overview

Problem

Law enforcement and other professionals face limitations in real-time monitoring of body language and behaviors, often missing adverse behaviors during activities like traffic stops or security checks due to reliance on their own perceptions, which can lead to misinterpretation and missed warnings.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing three-dimensional image streams from multiple image capture devices to detect and predict adverse behaviors, providing audio feedback to supervising users with a percentage probability of the behavior being adverse, enabling timely alerts and improved situational awareness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If law enforcement agents rely on their own perceptions of body language and behaviors during traffic stops and interrogations, then they can respond quickly in the moment, but they may misinterpret behaviors and miss adverse behaviors such as concealed weapons

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresponse speedVSAvoidbehavior detection accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an audio feedback output device as an intermediary between the monitored environment and the supervising user. The device receives warning signals from behavior analysis and provides real-time audio alerts about predicted adverse behaviors, enabling the supervising user to detect behaviors they might otherwise miss while maintaining quick response capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring behaviors, predicting adverse actions, and providing real-time warning signals to the supervising user through audio output devices. This closed-loop feedback enables the supervising user to adjust their monitoring and response based on predicted adverse behaviors

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If supervising users monitor environments manually without assistance, then they maintain full situational awareness, but they are limited to their own perceptions and may miss adverse behaviors

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebehavior monitoring reliabilityVSAvoidadverse behavior detection

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The audio feedback output device serves as an intermediary that supplements the supervising user's natural monitoring capabilities. It provides additional information about predicted adverse behaviors without replacing the user's situational awareness, thereby reducing information loss while maintaining reliable monitoring

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the purely human perceptual system with an augmented system that combines human monitoring with automated behavior analysis and audio feedback. This substitution enhances reliability by providing objective behavior predictions while preserving the supervising user's role in maintaining situational awareness

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed audio feedback about predicted adverse behaviors, then the supervising user receives comprehensive warnings, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadverse behavior informationVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the critical information needed for adverse behavior detection and presents it through audio feedback. By taking out only the essential warning signals about predicted adverse behaviors rather than processing and displaying all possible data, the system reduces complexity while preventing information loss

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex visual or manual analysis systems with a simpler audio feedback mechanism. This substitution reduces device complexity by using a straightforward audio output channel rather than complex display or communication systems, while still providing comprehensive adverse behavior information

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
