Monitor System Search Criteria Accumulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monitor systems require users to manually input search criteria frequently, leading to increased complexity and user burden when searching stored data, especially when unexpected search criteria are needed, resulting in a cumbersome and time-consuming process.
Innovation Solution
The system accumulates and stores search criteria in advance, allowing users to select pre-defined meta data and video data filters and packages, which reduces the number of steps required for searching and enables efficient data extraction by displaying and selecting predetermined search criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If search criteria are set minutely to reduce the number of extracted data items, then the precision of search results is improved, but the configuration of the search interface becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically generating and storing multiple search criteria based on metadata (date, time, subject matter) before the user actually searches. When a user searches, they can select from pre-configured criteria rather than manually configuring complex parameters, thus achieving precise search results without complicated interface configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually input search criteria every time they wish to make a search, then the adaptability of the search system is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to significant user burden
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating search criteria from metadata associated with stored data. Instead of requiring users to manually input criteria each time, the system pre-processes metadata and makes search criteria available automatically, significantly reducing user burden while maintaining adaptability through metadata-driven criterion generation.
3Ease of operation
If a large number of data items are extracted using simple search criteria, then the ease of operation is improved, but the precision of search results deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple search criteria based on metadata before the user conducts a search. This allows the user to simply select from pre-defined criteria (maintaining ease of operation) while the system has already prepared precise, differentiated search parameters (maintaining search result precision).
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies parameter changes by using metadata attributes (date, time, subject matter) to dynamically generate and differentiate search criteria parameters. This allows the same simple user interaction to yield different precision levels based on the underlying metadata parameters, thus maintaining both ease of operation and search precision.

AI summary
A search method is provided so that video data transmitted from an image-pickup unit of a monitor terminal is accumulated, meta data transmitted from a meta-data-generation unit of the monitor terminal is accumulated, search criteria are stored in advance, where the search criteria are used for extracting desired data from the video data and/or the meta data, the search criteria stored in advance are displayed, and meta data and/or video data satisfying a predetermined search criterion is extracted when the predetermined search criterion is selected from among the displayed search criteria, and the extracted meta data and/or the extracted video data is displayed.
