Solution Overview

Problem

Existing security and monitoring systems often generate false alarms due to authorized entities such as pets, guards, or homeowners, which can lead to unnecessary alerts and increased costs.

Innovation Solution

A portable device with a unique identifier communicates with a monitoring system, granting immunity to authorized entities by registering with a database, thereby preventing the activation of alarms when detected by sensors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If motion sensors are used to detect intruders, then security monitoring capability is improved, but false alarms increase due to detection of authorized entities like pets and guards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity monitoring capabilityVSAvoidfalse alarms
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the monitoring population into authorized and unauthorized entities by assigning unique identifiers to authorized individuals, pets, and vehicles. The sensor system then segments detection responses based on whether detected entities have registered identifiers, allowing differentiated handling of different entity types to eliminate false alarms from authorized presence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A registration system acts as an intermediary between the sensor detection system and the alarm activation system. This intermediary layer verifies whether detected entities are authorized by checking against registered unique identifiers, thereby preventing false alarms before they occur while maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If sensors detect all entities in monitored areas, then comprehensive monitoring is achieved, but operational costs increase due to unnecessary alarm responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring coverageVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The registration verification system serves as an intermediary that filters sensor detections before triggering alarm responses. By checking whether detected entities have registered unique identifiers, the system maintains comprehensive monitoring of all entities while eliminating unnecessary alarm activations, thereby reducing operational costs without compromising monitoring coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously checking the status of detected entities against the registration database. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adjust its response based on entity authorization status, maintaining comprehensive monitoring while optimizing resource allocation by activating responses only when truly necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods grant immunity from a monitoring system. For example, a monitoring system comprises a portable device configured to communicate a unique identifier with a registration signal, and a monitoring system. The monitoring system comprises a database including the unique identifier, a sensor configured to detect a condition, and a controller configured to receive a detection signal from the sensor when the condition is detected. The monitoring system grants immunity from the sensor to the portable device when the registration signal is received by the monitoring system.
