Mobile Access Control Server for Automated Background Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vetting process at military checkpoints is prone to human errors and inefficiencies due to the manual interpretation of Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) data from various jurisdictions, leading to incorrect adjudication results and increased waiting times, as different states return records in unique formats, making automated processing challenging.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing a mobile device-based Access Control Operations Center (ACOC) server that requests records from public databases for background checks, performs initial and subsequent adjudications, and communicates directives to entrants via mobile numbers, reducing human intervention and errors by standardizing the vetting process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual interpretation of CJIS data is used, then adaptability to different state formats is maintained, but productivity and accuracy deteriorate due to human error and time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal automated adjudication platform that can process CJIS data from multiple different state jurisdictions through a single integrated system. The server is configured to accept and interpret various state-specific record formats, converting them into a standardized internal format for consistent automated processing, thereby achieving both multi-format adaptability and high processing speed
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual interpretation of CJIS data is used, then flexibility in handling complex cases is maintained, but reliability deteriorates due to operator errors such as typos and misinterpretation
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the manual mechanical process of operator interpretation with an automated electronic adjudication system. The server executes programmed logic to automatically analyze CJIS records, compare them against predefined criteria, and generate adjudication results, thereby eliminating human errors such as typos, misreading, and inconsistent interpretation while maintaining the ability to handle complex cases through programmable decision rules
3Productivity
If automated processing is implemented, then productivity improves, but device complexity increases due to the need to handle multiple state formats
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary layer in the form of a standardized data transformation module that sits between the diverse state CJIS formats and the automated adjudication logic. This intermediary automatically converts various state-specific formats into a unified internal representation, allowing the core processing system to remain relatively simple while still handling multiple formats, thus achieving high productivity without proportionally increasing complexity

AI summary
A system and method for directing entrants at a checkpoint using a mobile device, wherein the method can comprise receiving by an Access Control Operations Center (ACOC) server a request for entry, identification data, and a mobile number from a checkpoint computer that are related to an entrant. The method can comprise requesting one or more records associated with the identification data, from one or more public records databases to perform a background check. The method can comprise receiving by the ACOC server the records from the one or more public record databases, determining an initial adjudication result of the background check, communicating an initial directive by the ACOC server to the entrant or to an attendant if the initial adjudication result of the background check does not meet predefined criteria, and sending a subsequent directive on the mobile number based on a subsequent adjudication of the background.
