Secure OOI Tracking via Local Data Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for determining and capturing perspective views of objects of interest (OOIs) and tracking them while securely transmitting data to a remote location are limited in their ability to locate and orient OOIs, and they lack reliable methods for identifying obscured or hidden passageways and strategic locations.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a local data collection unit with a microprocessor, sensor-activated cameras, a gyroscope, power supply, communication elements, and optionally a pedometer, which securely transmits encrypted and compacted data to a remote data receiver unit via a SIM card, using cellular networks for secure communication and data processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If data is stored locally on the data collection unit, then data availability is improved, but security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts data from local storage and transmits it remotely to a secure server. The data collection unit collects data locally but immediately transmits it via cellular network to a remote server, eliminating the need for prolonged local storage and thus maintaining both availability and security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a remote server as an intermediary between the data collection unit and the end user. Data is transmitted through this intermediary via encrypted cellular communication, allowing local units to maintain minimal storage while ensuring secure transmission and centralized secure storage.
2Loss of information
If data is transmitted frequently, then data freshness is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic data transmission where the data collection unit transmits data at predetermined intervals or when specific conditions are met. This periodic action ensures data freshness is maintained while avoiding continuous transmission that would consume excessive energy.
3Reliability
If encryption and compaction are applied, then security is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies compaction before encryption in the data processing pipeline. By first reducing the data size through compaction algorithms, the subsequent encryption process operates on smaller data volumes, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining both security and data integrity.
4Measurement precision
If multiple sensors are integrated, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple sensor types (cameras, GPS, accelerometers, microphones) into a single integrated data collection unit. This consolidation achieves precise multi-parameter tracking while managing complexity through unified hardware design and centralized data processing architecture.

AI summary
This invention provides systems and methods for determining and capturing desired perspective views of objects of interest (OOIs) including locating each OOI and determining an orientation of each OOI, or simultaneously detecting and tracking multiple objects of interest while assigning a position in space for each OOI and further securely transmitting the captured information to a remote location.
