Solution Overview

Problem

Current security inspection methods fail to correlate information about individuals and their baggage effectively, making it difficult to track relevant data after a security incident, as identity verification and baggage inspection are performed independently without linkage.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that acquire and correlate information about both the subject person and their baggage before and after security inspection, using video analysis to match entrance and exit data, and correlating this information with scanned images of the baggage, allowing for improved tracking and identification post-inspection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If identity verification and baggage inspection are performed independently without correlation, then the inspection process is simple and fast, but it is difficult to track relevant data after a security incident

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation correlationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges identity verification information and baggage inspection information into a unified correlated dataset. The system combines person identity data, baggage characteristics, and scanned images into an integrated information structure that can be traced and retrieved together, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining manageable system complexity through standardized integration protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an information correlation module as an intermediary that bridges identity verification and baggage inspection systems. This mediator collects, associates, and stores information from both independent processes, enabling traceability after security incidents without requiring direct integration between the original systems, thus balancing information completeness with system independence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple types of information are collected and correlated, then the usability of inspection information is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation usabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary information collection and correlation during the inspection process itself, rather than attempting to correlate information after the fact. By assembling the correlated information dataset in real-time during inspection, the system ensures information usability is improved while avoiding the significant time delays that would result from post-processing correlation of scattered data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If video analysis is used to acquire information about baggage and subject person, then the accuracy of information acquisition is improved, but the computational complexity and processing speed are affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential and relevant information from video analysis results, rather than processing and storing all video data. By identifying and extracting key features such as baggage characteristics, person identity markers, and critical temporal information, the system maintains high measurement precision while significantly reducing computational complexity and improving processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
