Sensor Installation Interruption via Protocol Deviation Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of sensor-based devices poses unique challenges due to requirements for operable connectivity, hardware compatibility, power sources, and software capabilities, often resulting in missteps during the installation process that may lead to negative outcomes, such as costly re-executions or irreversible errors, for which existing technologies lack effective monitoring and alert mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that uses a processor to detect deviations from installation protocols by analyzing data from various sensors, such as audio, vibratory, and image sensors, to issue an interruption alarm when a technician is likely to perform a step that could result in a negative outcome, thereby minimizing risks and re-execution costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If installation monitoring and alert mechanisms are implemented, then the likelihood of negative outcomes is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computing device as an intermediary between the technician and the installation process. This intermediary monitors installation steps, compares them against protocols, and provides alerts without requiring direct modification of the sensor-based device itself, thus reducing complexity while maintaining reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback by monitoring installation steps in real-time, comparing them against predefined protocols, and providing interruption alarms when deviations are detected. This feedback loop enables corrective action before negative outcomes occur, improving installation success rates
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive installation monitoring is performed, then the accuracy of installation detection is improved, but the loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial monitoring by focusing only on critical installation steps that have high risk of negative outcomes. Rather than monitoring every single action, the system identifies and monitors key protocol steps, reducing time overhead while maintaining detection accuracy for critical events
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining installation protocols and identifying critical steps before installation begins. This allows the monitoring system to efficiently detect deviations without requiring complex real-time analysis of every installation action, reducing time loss while maintaining accuracy

AI summary
Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method that includes detecting, by a processor, a performance of a step of an installation protocol for a sensor-based device. The processor performs a negative outcome analysis comprising determining a likelihood that the performance of the step will cause a negative outcome. Based at least in part on a result of the negative outcome analysis, an interruption alarm is issued.
