A computer-implemented method and system that collects status information from monitored sites, generates graphical presentations with selectable status indicators, and outputs detailed information upon user selection, allowing for effective data management and presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If security companies manually review various information associated with monitored sites, then comprehensive data collection is achieved, but the time and effort required to identify potential problems increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive data collectionVSAvoidtime to identify problems
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical review processes with automated computer-based systems that collect, store, and analyze security data electronically. The system automatically retrieves data from multiple sources, generates graphical presentations, and identifies potential problems without human intervention, thus maintaining comprehensive data collection while dramatically reducing the time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates graphical copies and visual representations of security data from multiple monitored sites. By generating graphical presentations that replicate and organize data in accessible formats, the system enables quick identification of problems across numerous sites without requiring manual examination of raw data, thereby reducing time loss while preserving information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If security companies monitor a large number of sites with diverse data, then coverage and monitoring capability are improved, but the complexity of managing and presenting the data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring coverageVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal data management system that can handle diverse data from multiple monitored sites through a single integrated platform. The system is designed to accommodate various data types and sources while providing consistent graphical presentation and analysis capabilities, thereby expanding monitoring coverage without proportionally increasing management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments complex security data into organized graphical presentations that can be independently analyzed and presented. By dividing large volumes of diverse data into manageable visual components, the system maintains comprehensive monitoring coverage while reducing the perceived and actual complexity of data management through structured organization and selective presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If detailed information is provided for all monitored sites simultaneously, then complete information availability is achieved, but the ease of operation and data accessibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoiddata accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and presents only the most relevant security data and potential problems in graphical presentations, rather than displaying all available information simultaneously. The system identifies and highlights critical issues while maintaining access to complete underlying data, thereby improving ease of operation and data accessibility without sacrificing information availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms detailed security data into graphical presentations that add visual dimensions to the information. By converting raw data into visual formats with varying levels of detail, the system enables users to access comprehensive information through interactive graphical interfaces that present data in an easily navigable and accessible manner, improving operation ease while maintaining complete information availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
