Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current ONVIF standards do not effectively reduce development efforts related to the management and maintenance of capabilities for security devices such as video cameras and radar-based sensors, limiting interoperability and efficiency in security systems.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that retrieve a model identifier and firmware version from sensor devices, process a device configuration library to select compatible user interface components, and generate a customized package for provisioning, facilitating the control and operation of these devices through a communication network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If ONVIF standards are used for device interoperability, then product compatibility is improved, but development effort for capability management and maintenance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the user interface components into device-specific templates that are independently manageable. Each security device has its own set of UI components defined in configuration files, allowing individual management without affecting other devices. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity while maintaining interoperability across different manufacturers' products.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes by allowing dynamic selection of UI component sets based on device type, model, and firmware version. The system retrieves device identifiers and automatically selects appropriate UI component parameters from predefined configurations, simplifying capability management through automated parameter adaptation rather than manual configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration of each device is performed, then device-specific customization is improved, but time consumption and manual effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining device-specific UI component templates and configuration parameters before deployment. These pre-configured templates are stored in the system and automatically retrieved and applied when a security device is detected, eliminating the need for manual configuration time while maintaining device-specific customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting device identifiers, retrieving appropriate UI component configurations, and applying the correct settings without human intervention. The automated provisioning process handles device-specific customization independently, reducing manual effort and time consumption while maintaining full adaptability to different device types and models.
