Solution Overview

Problem

Existing security systems that use cameras to monitor premises cannot effectively prevent vehicle-related theft or damage since continuous monitoring by users is impractical.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing machine-learning models that analyze data from various sensors, including cameras, to identify vehicles and detect suspicious activities, triggering deterrence actions such as emitting light and sound to deter individuals from approaching or stealing from vehicles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous monitoring by users is implemented, then security coverage is improved, but user burden and practicality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity coverageVSAvoiduser burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The security system performs self-monitoring and self-detection functions through automated machine learning models that analyze camera footage and sensor data without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously identifies suspicious activities, detects vehicles, and triggers appropriate responses, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user oversight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of continuous human monitoring with an automated computational system using machine learning models. These models process visual and sensor data to detect suspicious activities, substituting human cognitive effort with automated algorithmic analysis that maintains security coverage without imposing user burden.

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

2Speed

If automated detection systems are implemented, then response speed is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated detection system is segmented into specialized machine learning models, each trained to detect specific types of suspicious activities (e.g., loitering, running, jumping, vehicle-related activities). This segmentation allows the system to achieve fast response speeds for specific threats while managing overall complexity through modular architecture where each model handles a defined detection task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning models are pre-trained with extensive data to recognize patterns of suspicious activities before deployment. This preliminary training action enables the system to rapidly detect and respond to threats in real-time without requiring complex runtime decision-making, as the detection logic has been prepared in advance through training on diverse activity patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method may include detecting, by a computer executing a machine-learning model, a vehicle located within an area, detecting, by the computer executing the machine-learning model, a person approaching the vehicle, and, in response to the person approaching the vehicle, executing, by the computer executing the machine-learning model, a deterrence action.
