Solution Overview

Problem

Current security identification systems for infants and vulnerable individuals in hospitals and homes lack effective measures to prevent theft and ensure timely medical attention, as existing solutions are inadequate and prone to errors, with a lack of electrical signal-controlled latch mechanisms for enhanced security.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent security identification apparatus with a latch portion controlled by an electrical signal, incorporating a circuit loop formed by a latch plug and socket, an Integrated Circuit module, communication module, data module, and display module, which allows for secure engagement, alarm generation upon malicious destruction, and fingerprint-activated unlocking, along with sensors for monitoring vital signs and real-time positioning using WIFI and GPS modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a tag wrist ring or ankle ring is used for infant identification, then identification function is provided, but security against theft and unauthorized removal is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separate components: a body portion containing the IC module and sensors, an annular belt portion for wearing, and a latch portion with plug and socket. This segmentation allows the security function to be enhanced through the controlled latch mechanism while keeping the identification and monitoring functions in the body portion, resolving the contradiction between security and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The latch portion acts as an intermediary mechanism between the wearer and the device. The electrically controllable latch plug and socket create a controlled interface that prevents unauthorized removal while allowing authorized access, thereby enhancing security without requiring the entire device structure to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual supervision is used to monitor infants, then care can be provided, but it is ineffective when many infants need attention and difficult to supervise each infant

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring efficiencyVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device enables self-service monitoring through automatic detection of vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiration) by integrated sensors and automatic alarm generation when anomalies are detected. This eliminates the need for continuous manual supervision, significantly improving monitoring efficiency while maintaining reliable security through automated alert systems that notify staff of any issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If existing wrist rings or ankle rings with physical sign detection are used, then physical monitoring is provided, but they lack electrical signal-controlled latch mechanisms for improved security

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidunlocking control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The traditional mechanical latch mechanism is replaced with an electrically controllable system. The latch plug and socket are actuated by electrical signals from the IC module, allowing remote controlled unlocking and enhancing security. This substitution maintains ease of operation through electronic control while dramatically improving security against unauthorized removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
