Innovation Solution
A security system that integrates threat detection sensors, CCTV cameras, access control devices, and a building information model (BIM) to analyze movement patterns, equipment usage, and environmental factors, using processors and analytics to suggest optimal placement of cubicles, equipment, and infrastructure, thereby optimizing the use of secured areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional security systems collect and store large amounts of data from sensors, then threat detection capability is improved, but data utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary data elements from the large volume of security system data. The BIM model selectively captures movement patterns, equipment usage, and environmental factors relevant to layout optimization, filtering out redundant information while maintaining threat detection capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The BIM model serves multiple functions simultaneously: it maintains security threat detection capabilities while also enabling layout optimization, space utilization analysis, and operational efficiency improvement. This multi-functionality allows the same data infrastructure to support both security and optimization goals.
2Measurement precision
If manual data collection and analysis methods are used for layout optimization, then data accuracy is improved, but human effort and time consumption deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automated optimization by allowing the BIM model to automatically collect, analyze, and generate layout optimization recommendations without requiring manual human intervention. The system serves itself by utilizing its own data infrastructure and processing capabilities to perform optimization tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical data collection and analysis processes with automated electronic systems. Sensors, BIM modeling, and computational algorithms substitute human analysts, maintaining data accuracy while dramatically reducing time consumption and human effort.
3Ease of manufacture
If fixed sensor placement is used in security systems, then installation simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adaptability to the security system by enabling sensor placement and configuration to change based on the specific characteristics of different areas. The BIM model allows the system to adapt sensor positions, types, and monitoring parameters dynamically according to the functional requirements and layout of each specific space.
