Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in efficiently managing security tasks across multiple geographical locations with a balance between cost-effectiveness and quality of service, particularly in ensuring that low-cost personnel can perform tasks typically handled by highly skilled personnel without compromising security standards.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that generates a security route based on correlating security tasks with the geographical location of a mobile device, allowing low-cost personnel to perform tasks dynamically, with task selection and compensation adjusted based on skill level and situational priority, using a mobile computing device with a graphical user interface connected to a server over a network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If highly skilled security personnel are engaged to handle security tasks, then service quality and response effectiveness are improved, but operational costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidoperational cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments security tasks by geographical location and task type, creating discrete security routes that can be dynamically assigned to different personnel based on their skills and local knowledge. This segmentation allows low-cost local personnel to handle routine tasks while highly skilled personnel are deployed only when necessary, resolving the contradiction between service quality and operational cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the parameter of personnel skill level required for different tasks and locations. By adjusting task assignment parameters based on real-time needs, location importance, and personnel availability, the system optimizes the balance between using highly skilled personnel and lower-cost local personnel, thereby managing the trade-off between service quality and cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If low-cost personnel are used to perform security tasks, then operational costs are reduced, but task performance quality and reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational costVSAvoidtask performance quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining security routes and pre-assessing personnel capabilities before actual task execution. Local personnel are pre-vetted and assigned to specific routes based on their demonstrated abilities, ensuring that even low-cost personnel can perform tasks reliably when properly prepared and matched to appropriate tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where task performance is continuously monitored and evaluated. This feedback allows the system to adjust future task assignments, providing training opportunities for low-cost personnel who show promise, and ensuring that task performance quality is maintained or improved over time while keeping operational costs low.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Area of stationary object

If security personnel are deployed to multiple geographical locations, then coverage area increases, but response time and service quality may decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the coverage area into segmented security routes based on geographical proximity and task characteristics. By segmenting the service area into manageable routes, the system ensures that personnel assigned to each route can respond quickly to local incidents while collectively covering a broad geographical area through multiple specialized routes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts route assignments and personnel deployment based on real-time conditions, incident priorities, and personnel availability. This dynamic allocation optimizes response times by assigning nearby personnel to urgent incidents while maintaining comprehensive coverage through flexible reassignment of routes as conditions change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
