Intrusion Detection System Automatic Disarming via Mobile Communicator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Commercially available intrusion detection systems often generate false alarms when authorized operators access protected premises without first disarming the system, leading to unnecessary alerts and potential disruptions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize registered mobile communicators to automatically disarm the intrusion detection system by detecting the presence or absence of authorized individuals using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocols, preventing false alarms and ensuring secure access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual disarming by authorized operators is used, then system security is maintained, but false alarms occur when operators access premises without disarming first
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of authorized operators' presence before an intrusion alarm is triggered. By detecting mobile communicators in the vicinity during the arming process, the system proactively identifies authorized personnel and prevents false alarms before they occur, rather than reacting after the alarm is triggered
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors for the presence of authorized operators via mobile communicator detection and uses this feedback to dynamically control alarm behavior. When authorized devices are detected, the system receives feedback about their presence and automatically adjusts its alarm state, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to operator actions
2Reliability
If automatic disarming based on mobile communicator detection is implemented, then false alarms are reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces mobile communicators as intermediary devices that bridge the gap between physical presence and system control. These portable devices with identification codes act as mediators, allowing the system to detect authorized operators wirelessly without requiring direct physical interaction with the control panel, thus adding functionality while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces manual mechanical disarming operations with automatic electronic detection and control. Instead of requiring physical access to the control panel and manual button presses, the system uses automated detection of mobile communicators via wireless signals (Bluetooth, RFID, or other proximity detection technologies) to trigger automatic disarming, substituting mechanical user actions with electronic automation
3Reliability
If physical access to control panel is required for disarming, then system security is ensured, but operator convenience is reduced when operators are away from premises
Solution Approach 1:
Mobile communicators serve multiple functions: they act as identification credentials for authorized operators, serve as proximity detectors for presence verification, and function as remote control interfaces for system disarming. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate physical access mechanisms while maintaining security, allowing a single device to handle multiple operational requirements
