CCTV Keyboard Zone Mapping for Transaction Data Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional CCTV monitoring systems fail to notify operators of tampering or software malfunctions at transaction devices in real-time, requiring operators to switch between applications, leading to delayed detection of fraudulent activities and increased chances of perpetrator evasion.
Innovation Solution
A CCTV system with a keyboard interface that allows operators to assign cameras to zones containing transaction devices, capture and display transaction data alongside video feeds, enabling real-time monitoring and exception event notification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If operators use separate applications to capture transaction data and link with CCTV video, then transaction monitoring capability is improved, but operator workflow efficiency deteriorates due to needing to switch between applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines CCTV video monitoring and transaction data display into a single integrated interface. The transaction data is overlaid directly on the video feed, eliminating the need for operators to switch between separate applications and allowing simultaneous viewing of both video and transaction information.
Solution Approach 2:
The CCTV system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: traditional video monitoring and transaction data capture/display. The system universally handles both visual surveillance and digital transaction monitoring through a unified platform, allowing operators to access both functionalities without leaving the CCTV interface.
2Measurement precision
If operators manually verify transaction events with video content, then detection accuracy is improved, but surveillance productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming verification process
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary alignment of transaction data with corresponding video frames automatically. Transaction events are timestamped and linked to specific video moments in advance, so when operators need to verify suspicious activities, the relevant video segment and transaction data are already synchronized, eliminating manual verification time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automatic feedback by displaying transaction data alongside video feeds in real-time. When tampering or suspicious transactions occur, the system immediately presents both the video evidence and corresponding transaction records together, allowing operators to verify events instantly without manual cross-checking processes.
3Device complexity
If conventional CCTV systems only monitor video, then system complexity is reduced, but ability to detect device tampering deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The CCTV system is transformed into a multi-functional platform that simultaneously performs video monitoring and transaction data capture. The same system infrastructure handles both visual surveillance and digital transaction recording, enabling comprehensive tampering detection without adding separate independent systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges video capture and transaction data capture into a single integrated system. Both types of data are collected, stored, and displayed together through unified hardware and software components, allowing the system to detect both visual suspicious activities and transaction anomalies without requiring multiple separate systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for mapping of text events from multiple sources with camera outputs is provided. The system includes a CCTV keyboard for assigning each surveillance camera to one or more zones containing one or more point of transaction devices; a capture section for receiving data: from one of the one or more transaction devices when the capture section receives a data request command from the CCTV keyboard; and a CCTV switching system for displaying video: from the at least one or more surveillance cameras and data from the transaction device. The method assigns each surveillance camera to one or more zones containing one or more transaction devices; receives data: from one of the one or more transaction devices when the data request command is received; and displays video from the at least one or more surveillance cameras and data from the transaction device.
