Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video security systems face vulnerabilities due to reliance on internet connectivity, difficulty in routing cables for multiple camera installations, and high energy consumption, particularly in scenarios where internet access is interrupted during security events, leading to unreliable operations and potential data loss.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent door lock system with a position sensing device, engine, and energy source notification system that provides real-time battery status updates to a server, allowing users to monitor and manage energy sources effectively, ensuring continuous operation and reducing vulnerabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video security systems rely on internet connectivity for operation, then remote monitoring and data transmission capabilities are improved, but system reliability deteriorates when internet access is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring battery status and proactively notifying users before battery depletion occurs. The server receives battery status information from the door lock system and sends notifications to user terminals in advance, allowing users to replace batteries before they are completely depleted, thus preventing system failure during operation.
2Productivity
If multiple cameras are installed with cabling connections, then video capture capability is improved, but installation complexity increases due to cable routing difficulties
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the power supply and communication functions from traditional cabled camera systems. The wireless camera system eliminates the need for complex cable routing by using wireless communication protocols for data transmission and battery-powered supplies for energy, thereby simplifying installation while maintaining video capture capability.
3Reliability
If video security systems operate continuously with high power consumption, then monitoring coverage is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic action by scheduling battery status reporting at intervals rather than continuously. The door lock system reports battery status to the server at predetermined intervals, and the server sends notifications only when battery levels fall below threshold values, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining adequate monitoring coverage.
Data Source
AI summary
An intelligent door lock system provides notification of energy source status. A position sensing device is configured to be coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device. The position sensing device sensing position of the drive shaft assists in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device. An engine with a memory is provided, with the engine coupled to the positioning sensing device, and a circuit coupled to the engine. An energy source is coupled to the circuit. A server is associated with the intelligent door lock system and provides notification of energy source status.
