Solution Overview

Problem

Existing building security systems struggle to accurately generate relevant and precise data for specific security threats due to limitations in predictive AI models, such as large language models (LLMs), which often produce incorrect, imprecise, or irrelevant outputs, and lack transparency and agility in responding to novel queries.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that utilizes generative AI models, like LLMs and multi-modal models, to process unstructured data from various sources, including video and audio, and integrate expert feedback for real-time anomaly detection and response, enabling automated and conversational interfaces for security personnel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If generative AI models like LLMs are used to process security data, then the system can handle unstructured data and provide conversational interfaces, but the models produce incorrect, imprecise, or irrelevant outputs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversational interface capabilityVSAvoidoutput precision
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the LLM and the security data processing. This layer includes prompt engineering mechanisms and contextual framing that mediate the interaction between the generative model and the security domain, improving output precision while maintaining conversational capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where the outputs of the LLM are evaluated against ground truth security data and expert annotations. This feedback is used to refine prompts and adjust the model's responses, progressively improving precision while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing predictive AI models are used, then the system can process security data, but the models lack transparency and agility in responding to novel queries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse agilityVSAvoidmodel transparency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI system into multiple components: the LLM for handling novel queries, expert feedback mechanisms for validation, and rule-based systems for transparency. This segmentation allows each component to fulfill its strength while mitigating weaknesses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Expert feedback acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between the flexible LLM and the need for transparent, reliable decision-making. The expert layer provides interpretability and validates the adaptability of the model responses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If traditional security systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the systems struggle to accurately generate relevant and precise data for specific security threats

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges traditional security system structures with generative AI capabilities. The LLM is integrated into the existing security workflow, combining the simplicity and reliability of traditional systems with the advanced pattern recognition and natural language processing of generative models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The LLM component serves multiple functions: processing unstructured security data, generating relevant threat information, providing conversational interfaces, and adapting to novel query types. This multi-functionality achieves high detection precision without proportionally increasing system complexity

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