Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image surveillance techniques for intrusion detection often result in delayed responses due to a single, fixed intrusion duration time that does not account for varying intrusion positions, leading to objects intruding into warning regions before the set time elapses.

Innovation Solution

An intrusion detection device that detects intrusion positions and associates them with specific time periods, outputting alerts when objects stay in designated regions for those time periods, allowing for position-dependent alert timing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single fixed intrusion duration time is set for the auxiliary warning region, then the system is simple to operate, but the response is delayed and objects may intrude into the warning region before the set time elapses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the intrusion duration time variable rather than fixed. The system automatically adjusts the intrusion duration time based on the detected intrusion position, allowing the time parameter to change dynamically according to spatial conditions. This resolves the contradiction by eliminating the need for manual configuration while achieving position-appropriate response timing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of intrusion duration time from a static value to a variable parameter that depends on intrusion position. By establishing a correspondence between intrusion positions and intrusion duration times, the system adapts the time parameter to match the spatial context, thereby optimizing response timing without requiring user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If a single fixed intrusion duration time is used for all intrusion positions, then the device complexity is low, but measurement precision of intrusion timing is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidintrusion timing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the auxiliary warning region into multiple intrusion positions or zones. By dividing the continuous space into discrete position categories, the system can assign different intrusion duration times to each segment. This segmentation enables precise timing for each position while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured categorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different intrusion duration times to different intrusion positions. Instead of using a uniform time parameter across the entire region, the system tailors the time parameter to each local position, creating position-specific detection characteristics that improve timing precision without requiring complex global reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If the auxiliary warning region is set in a wide range to detect approaching objects, then detection capability is improved, but the region shape becomes complex conforming to image-capturing range

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoidregion shape complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wide auxiliary warning region into multiple intrusion positions, allowing the system to handle the large detection area through positional categorization rather than a single complex shape. This segmentation enables the system to maintain simple regional definitions while achieving comprehensive detection coverage through multiple position-specific rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A setting assistance device includes an acquisition unit, a calculation unit and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires coordinates designated by a user for an image capturing a three-dimensional space. The calculation unit calculates coordinates of a position located at a predetermined distance from a position of a part of the three-dimensional space relating to the acquired coordinates. The determination unit determines a region set for the acquired coordinates based on the calculated coordinates.
