Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Security screening processes face challenges due to the reliance on physical screening for alarm resolution, which can lead to diminished confidence in imaging technologies and difficulties in ensuring adherence to standard operating procedures.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an augmented reality (AR) system that generates an AR interface incorporating scan results from security scanners, providing guidance to users on actions to address scan results, and monitoring user actions to ensure proper protocol adherence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If physical screening is used for alarm resolution, then security screening accuracy is maintained, but operator confidence in imaging technologies diminishes and the screening process becomes less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines imaging technology with AR-guided physical screening by overlaying scan results onto the physical view of the target. This merging allows operators to simultaneously see both the imaging data and the physical target, maintaining accuracy while reducing the time and effort required for physical screening.
Solution Approach 2:
The AR interface acts as an intermediary between the imaging system and the operator, translating complex scan results into intuitive visual overlays that guide physical screening actions. This intermediary reduces the cognitive load on operators and improves their confidence in interpreting imaging data.
2Reliability
If standard operating procedures are implemented, then screening accuracy is maintained, but it becomes difficult for users to find pertinent sections and follow procedural steps in correct order
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex SOP into discrete, context-relevant steps that are presented sequentially through the AR interface. Each step is displayed only when needed based on the current screening situation, making it easy for operators to find and follow pertinent instructions without being overwhelmed by the full procedure manual.
Solution Approach 2:
The AR interface dynamically adapts the display of procedural guidance based on the current screening context, scan results, and operator actions. The guidance updates in real-time to reflect the current state of the screening process, ensuring operators always have access to the most relevant information in the correct sequence.
3Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive SOP documentation is provided, then all screening scenarios are covered, but it becomes difficult to keep track of trends and patterns in screening encounters
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically track and record screening encounters, scan results, and operator actions. This data is continuously analyzed to identify trends and patterns, providing feedback that can be used to update and improve SOPs and training programs while maintaining comprehensive scenario coverage.

AI summary
A method to enhance security screening includes generating an augmented reality (AR) interface incorporating scan results from scanning a target in a security scanner. The method displays, to a user of an AR interface, the AR interface mapped to the target and determines guidance including an action relevant to addressing the scan results. The method displays, to the user via the AR interface, the guidance including the action for the user to carry out and monitors user actions. The method displays, to the user via the AR interface, confirmation that the user has carried out the action.
