Security Video Data Processing with Neighbor Sharing Labels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Home security systems often fail to effectively identify and apprehend perpetrators of minor crimes, such as package theft or mischievous behavior, due to lack of recognition by homeowners and the burden on neighbors to review extensive video and audio data for relevant information.
Innovation Solution
A security video data processing system that allows users to share captured video and audio with neighbors, incorporating labels indicating the need for information, which incentivizes them to view and provide identification, and utilizes a network-connected device to manage and prioritize the sharing of relevant data within a geographic network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If extensive video and audio data is captured by security systems, then crime detection capability is improved, but the burden on neighbors to review data increases and identification efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and highlights only the most relevant portions of video and audio data by adding labels indicating suspected criminal activity. This allows neighbors to quickly identify and review only the critical segments rather than examining entire hours of footage, thereby maintaining crime detection capability while dramatically reducing review time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis and labeling of captured data before sharing it with neighbors. By pre-identifying and marking segments that contain potential criminal activity, the system prepares the data in advance for efficient review, eliminating the need for neighbors to watch entire recordings from scratch.
2Measurement precision
If neighbors are burdened to review extensive video and audio data, then identification accuracy may improve, but neighbor participation and community engagement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and highlights only the most relevant portions of video and audio data by adding labels indicating suspected criminal activity. This allows neighbors to quickly identify and review only the critical segments rather than examining entire hours of footage, thereby maintaining crime detection capability while dramatically reducing review time.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of requiring neighbors to review complete recordings, the system provides partial views focused only on labeled segments containing potential criminal activity. This partial action approach maintains identification accuracy by concentrating on relevant portions while making the task sufficiently easy to encourage broad neighbor participation.
3Productivity
If video and audio data is shared with neighbors, then community involvement in crime detection improves, but data privacy and security risks worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different quality levels to different portions of the shared data. Labeled segments containing potential criminal activity are shared with neighbors for review, while other portions maintain restricted access. This local differentiation allows community involvement in detecting crimes while protecting unrelated private information from unauthorized viewing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis and labeling of captured data before sharing it with neighbors. By pre-identifying and marking segments that contain potential criminal activity, the system prepares the data in advance for efficient review, eliminating the need for neighbors to watch entire recordings from scratch.
4Ease of operation
If labeled indicators are added to video and audio data, then neighbor motivation to review data improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual labels or indicators (analogous to color changes) to mark video and audio segments containing suspected criminal activity. These distinctive markers immediately draw neighbors' attention to relevant portions of the data, making review easier without requiring complex analysis tools or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis and labeling of captured data before sharing it with neighbors. By pre-identifying and marking segments that contain potential criminal activity, the system prepares the data in advance for efficient review, eliminating the need for neighbors to watch entire recordings from scratch.
Data Source
AI summary
Identifying a person committing a crime in video data captured by a security device. An information request message identifying the video data and a need for information about the video data is received. When the video data is determined suitable for sharing within a geographic network, an access control of the video data is set to allow a client device registered with the geographic network to display the video data. A display control value of the video data is set to direct display of a label with the video data to indicate the need for the information. A rating of usefulness of the information received from the client device is determined and a first value is added to an account associated with the client device based at least in part upon the rating.
