Security System Audio Location Announcement for Intruders
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional security systems fail to inform authorized occupants of the location of a security breach and the unauthorized party within a premises, leading to potential risks and inefficiencies in alerting and deterring intruders.
Innovation Solution
A smart security system that integrates sensors and processing units to determine the location of a security breach and track the unauthorized party, while also announcing this information to authorized occupants, thereby warning them of potential dangers and deterring further intrusion through clear notification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional security systems activate an alarm, then unauthorized entry is detected, but the location of the breach and unauthorized party is not communicated to authorized occupants
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously tracks the unauthorized party's location using sensors and provides real-time feedback by announcing the location through audio output. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures authorized occupants always know where the breach occurred and where the intruder is currently located, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining security reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an audio announcement system as an intermediary between the sensor detection system and authorized occupants. This intermediary translates sensor data about unauthorized party location into human-readable audio messages, effectively communicating breach location information without requiring direct sensor-to-occupant communication
2Reliability
If the system tracks and announces the unauthorized party's location, then security response is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs multi-functional components that perform both traditional security functions and location tracking. For example, motion sensors serve both to detect intrusion events and to track the unauthorized party's movement throughout the premises. The audio announcement system serves both as a general alarm and as a specific location indicator, reducing the need for separate dedicated components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple functions into integrated systems: sensors that both detect and track, processing units that both analyze events and calculate locations, and audio systems that both alarm and provide directional information. This merging reduces overall system complexity while maintaining enhanced security monitoring capabilities

AI summary
A security system (100) includes a plurality of sensors (140, 150) to detect entry into a premises by an unauthorized party and to detect a location of the unauthorized party through at least a portion of the premises, a storage component to store a log of the detected location of the unauthorized party, an audio component to audibly announce the detected location of the unauthorized party, and a processor to control the audio component to announce the detected location at predetermined intervals or upon a change in the detected location of the unauthorized party.
