Solution Overview

Problem

Existing security measures lack proactive and reactive capabilities to effectively deter and neutralize threats in real-time, especially in residential and commercial settings, as they often rely on human intervention and are not equipped to handle dynamic threat assessments.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of unmanned vehicles equipped with sensors, data analysis engines, route determination engines, and sensor management systems that analyze data, determine threat levels, and take appropriate actions such as surveillance, alerting, and securing areas by communicating with networks and servers to manage and adapt their operations based on sensed information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If existing security measures are used, then human intervention is required for threat assessment, but real-time dynamic threat assessment and response capabilities are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of threat assessmentVSAvoidreal-time threat response capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The unmanned vehicle is equipped with autonomous capabilities including self-navigation, self-monitoring of security parameters, and self-decision making for threat response. The vehicle independently performs surveillance, analyzes security data, determines threat levels, and executes countermeasures without requiring continuous human intervention, thereby achieving both high automation and reliable real-time response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces human mechanical decision-making and physical response actions with automated electronic systems. Sensors detect security parameters, processors analyze data and determine threat levels, and automated mechanisms execute responses such as deploying countermeasures or alerting authorities, substituting human intervention with electronic control systems for faster and more reliable real-time response.

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

2Reliability

If unmanned vehicles are equipped with comprehensive sensors and analysis systems, then proactive and reactive security capabilities are enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity effectivenessVSAvoidvehicle system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The unmanned vehicle is designed as a multi-functional platform that performs surveillance, security parameter monitoring, threat analysis, and countermeasure execution all through a single integrated system. The vehicle can operate in different modes (proactive surveillance and reactive response) and adapt to various security scenarios, reducing the need for multiple separate security systems while maintaining high security effectiveness.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines sensors, data analysis engines, route determination systems, and countermeasure mechanisms into a single integrated unmanned vehicle platform. The sensor data processing, threat assessment algorithms, and response execution systems are merged into one cohesive system, managing complexity through integration rather than separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of time

If unmanned vehicles perform real-time data analysis and threat determination, then response time is reduced, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethreat response timeVSAvoidvehicle energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The unmanned vehicle performs data analysis and threat assessment at periodic intervals and triggered by specific events rather than continuously. The vehicle monitors security parameters continuously but performs intensive data analysis only when changes are detected or at predetermined intervals, reducing energy consumption while maintaining rapid response capability when threats are identified.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The vehicle pre-loads security data, pre-processes sensor information, and maintains ready-state algorithms for threat analysis before actual threats occur. By preparing analysis frameworks and data structures in advance, the vehicle can quickly assess threats when they arise without performing exhaustive real-time analysis, thereby reducing response time while minimizing continuous energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Unmanned vehicles can be terrestrial, aerial, nautical, or multi-mode. Unmanned vehicles may be used to survey a property in response to or in anticipation of a threat. For example, an unmanned vehicle may analyze information about the property and based on the information deter theft of items on the property.
