Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional surveillance systems lack the ability to dynamically adjust image analysis content based on user license levels, limiting the functionality and user experience.

Innovation Solution

An image information transformation and outputting method and device that generates a false object datum based on real-time surveillance images and adjusts its attributes, behavior, or events according to user license levels, allowing authorized users to access complete analysis results while unauthorized users receive modified or partial results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the surveillance system provides complete image analysis results to all users, then the information completeness is improved, but the security and authorization control deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage analysis result completenessVSAvoidauthorization control
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different quality levels of image analysis results to different user groups. Authorized users receive complete and accurate analysis results, while unauthorized users receive false or modified results. This resolves the contradiction by allowing information completeness to vary locally based on user authorization status, thereby maintaining both information utility and security control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent inverts the conventional approach by not providing complete information to all users by default, but rather providing false or limited information to unauthorized users and complete information only to authorized users. This inversion resolves the contradiction between information completeness and authorization control by making information completeness a function of authorization status rather than a universal constant.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the surveillance system provides different analysis results based on user license levels, then the adaptability and user experience are improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurveillance functionality adaptabilityVSAvoidlicense verification and result modification system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple levels of false or modified object data in advance, corresponding to different license levels. The system prepares these alternative results beforehand, so that when a user requests analysis results, the system can quickly select and return the appropriate level without complex real-time processing. This reduces system complexity while maintaining adaptability to different user authorization levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the system generates false object datum to protect unauthorized access, then the security is improved, but the measurement precision and accuracy of analysis results deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunauthorized access protectionVSAvoidobject detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by maintaining high measurement precision and accuracy for authorized users who receive complete analysis results, while deliberately reducing accuracy for unauthorized users who receive false object data. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by allowing precision to vary based on authorization status, ensuring security without compromising the accuracy experienced by legitimate users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
