Solution Overview

Problem

Existing premises management systems consume significant network bandwidth and resources for continuous transmission of status information, leading to potential interruptions in other network services and negatively impacting user experience.

Innovation Solution

The system dynamically communicates and controls premises devices by configuring a configuration service to manage status capture, data transmission, and authentication, using differentiated services code points (DSCP) to indicate priority conditions and optimize network traffic processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous transmission of status information is implemented, then real-time monitoring capability is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases and other services are interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time monitoring capabilityVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by transmitting status information at defined intervals rather than continuously. The configuration service sets transmission intervals based on priority conditions, enabling real-time monitoring during critical periods while reducing network bandwidth consumption during normal operation. This resolves the contradiction by making the monitoring behavior periodic rather than continuous.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making the transmission interval adjustable based on priority conditions. The configuration service dynamically modifies transmission frequency according to the state of the premises management system (e.g., armed/disarmed status), allowing the system to adapt between high monitoring intensity when needed and low intensity during normal operation, thus balancing monitoring reliability with network resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Speed

If frequent transmission of status information is implemented, then system responsiveness is improved, but network resources are consumed and other services are interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem responsivenessVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts transmission frequency based on priority conditions. When the premises management system is in a high-priority state (e.g., armed), transmission occurs more frequently to maintain responsiveness. When in low-priority state (e.g., disarmed), transmission interval increases to conserve network resources, thus resolving the contradiction between responsiveness and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transmission parameter (interval) based on system state. The configuration service modifies the transmission interval parameter according to priority conditions, enabling the system to achieve high responsiveness when needed while reducing network resource consumption during normal operation, thereby resolving the contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If status capture is continuously enabled, then monitoring coverage is improved, but network bandwidth is consumed and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring coverageVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic status capture based on priority conditions rather than continuous capture. This maintains monitoring coverage during critical periods (when premises are armed) while reducing network bandwidth consumption during normal periods, thereby improving user experience without significantly compromising monitoring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The status capture capability is dynamically enabled or disabled based on priority conditions determined by the configuration service. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain comprehensive monitoring coverage when necessary while reducing network consumption during normal operation, thus resolving the contradiction between monitoring coverage and user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Systems and methods for dynamic communication and control of devices associated with a premises are disclosed. The systems and methods may include receiving first status information by a device associated with a premises; determining a priority condition based at least on the first status information; transmitting the first status information including a first differentiated services code point indicative of the priority condition; and transmitting second status information including a second differentiated services code point indicative of the normal condition.
