Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional CCTV systems have limited control range due to blind spots and lack of sound detection capabilities, and emergency alert systems are not functional during emergencies unless manually operated.

Innovation Solution

An integrated monitoring CCTV system that collects video and sound information using multiple microphones and cameras, generates monitoring information with location and direction data, and uses an abnormality detection apparatus to determine abnormal situations like explosions or flying objects, broadcasting warnings when necessary.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional CCTV is equipped with only video recording function, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision and detection capability are limited due to blind spots

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines video recording, sound detection, and sensor information collection into a single integrated monitoring CCTV system. Multiple microphones are incorporated to enable omnidirectional sound detection, and various sensors are integrated to detect explosions, flying objects, and other abnormalities, thereby improving detection capability without requiring separate devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring CCTV is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: video recording, sound source detection and localization, explosion detection, flying object detection, and environmental monitoring. This multi-functional approach eliminates blind spots and improves measurement precision while maintaining a single device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If emergency bell device is manually operated, then the device complexity is low, but the reliability is poor because it may not operate normally in emergency situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic emergency response through abnormality detection. When the integrated monitoring CCTV detects abnormal sounds, explosions, or flying objects, it automatically generates alarm signals and broadcasts warnings without requiring manual operation. The system serves itself by detecting abnormalities and triggering appropriate responses autonomously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors the environment through multiple sensors and microphones, provides feedback when abnormalities are detected, and automatically activates alarm functions. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures reliable operation during emergencies by eliminating human response delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Area of stationary object

If single CCTV is used for monitoring, then the device complexity is low, but the area of coverage is limited due to blind spots

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends monitoring from two-dimensional video coverage to three-dimensional spatial awareness by incorporating omnidirectional sound detection and sensor data. Multiple microphones arranged in specific configurations enable detection of sound sources from all directions, adding a dimensional aspect to the monitoring coverage and eliminating blind spots

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
