Automated Security Device Association via Alert Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security-monitoring platforms require manual association of electronic monitoring security devices with alerts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when dealing with hundreds or thousands of devices, and necessitates frequent updates.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for automatically creating and maintaining associations between security alerts and electronic monitoring security devices using an association module within the security-monitoring platform, which categorizes devices, presents alert lists to operators, and automatically initiates association protocols to link alerts with corresponding devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual association of electronic monitoring security devices with alerts is performed, then associations can be created between devices and alerts, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic device association autonomously by receiving alert data from security devices, determining device types from the alert data, and automatically creating associations between alerts and devices without requiring operator intervention. This self-service approach eliminates manual configuration time while maintaining accurate device-alert relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The system determines device types and prepares association data in advance by analyzing alert data characteristics before final association is needed. By pre-processing alert data to identify device types and prepare association mappings, the system reduces the time required for actual device-alert binding when the system is deployed.
2Reliability
If manual updates to device associations are performed, then associations can be maintained, but frequent updates require operator visits to sites
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously receives alert data from security devices and automatically updates device associations based on this feedback. By monitoring incoming alert data for changes in device types or associations, the system maintains accurate device-alert mappings without requiring manual intervention or operator site visits, thereby preserving reliability while improving ease of operation.
3Quantity of substance
If hundreds or thousands of security devices are deployed, then comprehensive security coverage is achieved, but manual association of each device becomes nearly impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages associations for hundreds or thousands of security devices by processing alert data autonomously. It determines device types from alert data, creates associations automatically, and updates mappings without operator intervention, making the management of large-scale device deployments feasible and reducing complexity from nearly impossible to automated routine processing.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention includes a security-monitoring platform adapted to automatically create associations between electronic monitoring security devices and security alerts on the fly. As alerts occur, the security-monitoring platform operator may select one or more electronic monitoring security devices to aid in processing the security alert, and the security-monitoring platform automatically identifies the selected electronic monitoring security device(s) and creates an association between the selected electronic monitoring security device(s) and the security alert. The security-monitoring platform will then automatically display the associated electronic monitoring security device to the operator when that same security alert is subsequently triggered.
