Innovation Solution

The implementation of autonomous data machines that collect and analyze security data from various sources, including sensors and social media feeds, to detect and respond to security events, reducing the reliance on human personnel by using self-propelled machines equipped with processors to navigate, collect data, and perform actions based on analyzed data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional security systems use extensive human personnel for surveillance, then security monitoring coverage is improved, but system cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity monitoring coverageVSAvoidhuman resource requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The autonomous data machine performs security surveillance and data collection tasks independently without human intervention. It navigates autonomously, collects security data from multiple sources, analyzes the data, and executes responses automatically, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for extensive human personnel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces human mechanical surveillance operations with an autonomous robotic system equipped with sensors, processors, and actuators. The autonomous data machine uses automated navigation, data processing algorithms, and machine-based response mechanisms to substitute human personnel in security monitoring tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If security systems collect data from multiple sources, then detection capability is improved, but data analysis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity event detection capabilityVSAvoiddata analysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The autonomous data machine is designed as a multi-functional integrated system that simultaneously performs navigation, data collection from multiple sources (sensors, social media, security systems), data analysis, and response execution. This universal platform consolidates multiple functions into a single system, managing complexity through integration rather than separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The processor acts as an intermediary that receives raw data from multiple diverse sources, processes and integrates this information, and generates coordinated responses. This intermediary component manages the complexity of multi-source data by providing a centralized processing layer that transforms heterogeneous inputs into actionable outputs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If autonomous data machines are deployed, then human resource requirements are reduced, but system automation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity operation efficiencyVSAvoidautonomous machine complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The autonomous data machine system is divided into distinct functional modules: navigation module, data collection module (with multiple sensors), data analysis module (processor), and response execution module (actuators). This segmentation allows each component to be developed, tested, and maintained independently while working together as an integrated autonomous system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The autonomous data machine incorporates feedback mechanisms where sensors continuously monitor the environment and the machine's own state, the processor analyzes this feedback information, and actuators adjust the machine's behavior based on the analysis. This closed-loop feedback system enables autonomous operation by allowing the machine to self-regulate and respond dynamically to changing conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
