Network Storage Security Aggregation for Real-Time Event Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Aggregating security information from various devices for surveillance purposes is difficult due to the exponential growth of networks, cameras, and audio-enabled electronics, making it challenging to combine and manage this data effectively.
Innovation Solution
A networked security system that integrates fixed and wireless devices, including cameras, microphones, and sensors, to capture and aggregate security content, which is then stored in a network storage device and displayed to authorized users, with prompts sent to selected users based on security status thresholds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If security content is aggregated from multiple mobile and fixed devices, then the security monitoring capability is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments security monitoring into multiple independent components: mobile devices capture content from different locations, fixed devices provide stationary monitoring points, network storage devices handle data aggregation, and processing devices manage analysis. This segmentation allows enhanced security capability while managing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The network storage device and processing device serve multiple functions: they aggregate content from various sources, store security data, process and analyze the content, generate security profiles, and send alerts. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each task, managing overall system complexity.
2Speed
If real-time security content aggregation is implemented across multiple devices, then the security response time is improved, but the data management difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network storage device acts as an intermediary between mobile/fixed devices and processing devices. It receives security content from multiple sources, standardizes the data format, and manages storage, thereby simplifying data management for the processing device while enabling real-time aggregation from multiple devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where processing devices analyze aggregated security content, generate security profiles, and send alerts back to monitoring systems. This closed-loop feedback enables real-time response while the automated processing reduces manual data management complexity.
3Measurement precision
If security profiles are generated from aggregated content, then the security analysis accuracy is improved, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network storage device performs preliminary actions by aggregating and storing security content from multiple devices before detailed analysis. This pre-processing organizes data in advance, allowing the processing device to generate security profiles more efficiently while maintaining high analysis accuracy from comprehensive data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system generates security profiles using content from a selected subset of devices rather than processing all available data. This partial action approach maintains sufficient analysis accuracy while reducing processing time by focusing on the most relevant security content sources.
Data Source
AI summary
A security system, method, and network device. Security is aggregated from wireless devices and fixed devices at an event. The wireless devices are associated with at least a portion of users attending the event. A selection of the security content is displayed. Prompts regarding a security status of the event are displayed. The prompts are sent regarding a security status of the event to selected users.
