Secured Package Holder with Motion Detection and Delivery Confirmation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing property monitoring systems lack the capability to securely manage and monitor packages delivered to a property, as they do not provide real-time confirmation of package delivery and security, nor do they prevent unauthorized access or tampering.
Innovation Solution
A secured package holder device integrated into a monitoring system that receives and secures packages, communicates delivery confirmation, and can be disarmed using a code, with features like motion detection, image analysis, and geofencing to prevent unauthorized movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a package holder device is integrated into a monitoring system to provide real-time package delivery confirmation and security monitoring, then package security and user awareness are improved, but device complexity and system integration requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single integrated system: the package holder device merges physical package storage with security monitoring capabilities, motion detection, and communication functions. The monitoring system integrates package delivery confirmation, security surveillance, and user notification into one unified platform, eliminating the need for separate standalone devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it monitors package delivery, detects motion around the package holder, provides real-time notifications to users, and can distinguish between authorized and unauthorized access. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate devices while improving overall package security.
2Reliability
If motion detection and monitoring features are added to detect unauthorized access or tampering, then package protection capability is improved, but energy consumption and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The motion detection system operates periodically rather than continuously, activating monitoring when motion is detected in the vicinity of the package holder device. The system can transition between low-power standby mode and active monitoring mode, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining effective package protection during critical periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from motion sensors to dynamically adjust monitoring activity. When no motion is detected, the system reduces monitoring intensity or enters sleep mode to conserve energy. When motion is detected, the system activates full monitoring and notification sequences, ensuring package protection only when necessary rather than continuous operation.
