Visitor Evaluation Sharing for Cross-Building Security Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing visitor management systems lack the ability to efficiently share and integrate visitor evaluation information across multiple buildings, leading to inconsistent and inflexible security measures.
Innovation Solution
A visitor management apparatus and method that acquires visitor identification information and evaluation values from residents, stores them in association, and provides this information to other buildings, allowing for integrated evaluation and behavior restriction based on biometric and evaluation data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If visitor management is handled independently by each building, then each building can manage its own visitors, but evaluation information cannot be shared across buildings leading to inconsistent security measures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges visitor management systems across multiple buildings by establishing a central server that collects, stores, and shares evaluation information from multiple intercom systems. This allows evaluation data to be consolidated and made accessible building-wide, ensuring consistent security measures while maintaining individual building autonomy through the distributed network architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The central server provides universal functionality by serving multiple buildings simultaneously, acting as a common platform for collecting evaluation information from various intercom systems and distributing it to all connected buildings. This multi-functional approach enables information sharing across different locations without requiring separate independent systems.
2Measurement precision
If evaluation information is collected from all residents, then comprehensive visitor assessment is achieved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The central server acts as an intermediary that receives evaluation information from multiple intercom systems and residents, processes this data centrally, and distributes the processed results back to the appropriate intercom systems. This intermediary approach simplifies the complexity by providing a single processing point rather than requiring distributed processing across multiple systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where evaluation information collected from residents is processed and then fed back to the intercom systems for subsequent visitor management decisions. This feedback loop enables continuous improvement of visitor assessment accuracy while maintaining manageable processing complexity through automated decision-making algorithms.
3Reliability
If suspicious persons are registered centrally, then information is shared across the area, but system reliability depends on accurate identification across multiple images
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple person images captured by different intercom slave units at various dwellings into a centralized database. By combining images from multiple sources and locations, the system creates a more reliable identification system that can cross-validate suspicious person candidates across different visual records, reducing the risk of false identification.

AI summary
A visitor management apparatus 1 is provided with: an identification information acquiring part 11 for acquiring visitor identification information of a visitor coming to a building, an evaluation value acquiring part 12 for acquiring evaluation value for the visitor by a resident living in the building, a storing part 13 for storing the visitor identification information corresponding to the visitor and the evaluation value corresponding to the visitor in association with each other, and a providing part 14 for providing the visitor identification information and the evaluation value associated with each other and stored in the storing part 13 to an other building differing from the building.
