Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network security systems require significant time and manpower to configure and register multiple devices, especially in large-scale installations, making it inefficient and prone to errors.

Innovation Solution

A network security system that includes a spatial information collector, device position receiver, device recommender, device determiner, and device setter to automatically configure and set up devices such as cameras, recorders, and central management devices based on spatial information and user input, reducing the need for manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual configuration and registration of devices is performed in large-scale network security systems, then device installation flexibility is maintained, but design time and manpower requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign timeVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating device configurations and registration information before actual device installation. The server pre-configures network parameters, device settings, and registration data based on spatial information, so that when devices are physically installed, they can be quickly registered and integrated into the network security system without time-consuming manual configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing devices to be automatically configured and registered through the server's automated processes. The server autonomously generates configuration files, sets network parameters, and registers devices based on spatial information and installation positions, eliminating the need for manual human intervention in the configuration process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If individual device configuration is performed manually, then configuration accuracy can be ensured, but manpower requirements and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses copying by generating configuration templates and registration information that can be automatically replicated and applied to multiple devices. Once a configuration template is created for a particular device type and spatial location, it can be copied and adapted for similar devices, ensuring consistency and accuracy while dramatically reducing the time and effort required for configuring each individual device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of time

If automatic device configuration is implemented, then design time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between the spatial information and the device configuration process. It automatically processes spatial information, determines appropriate device settings, generates configuration files, and manages device registration. This intermediary role centralizes the complexity within the server, keeping the client-side devices and manual operations simple while maintaining reduced design time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
