Smart Door Device with Night Vision and Integrated Alarms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart door technologies lack comprehensive monitoring and communication capabilities, particularly in low light conditions, and do not provide integrated security features such as alarms and multimedia communication.
Innovation Solution
A smart door system equipped with a high-power camera lens for night vision, microphone, sensors, intercom, touch screen monitor, doorbell, and integrated 4G/3G network connectivity, allowing for video and audio communication, picture and video recording, and alarm functionality, including smoke and carbon monoxide detection, with the ability to alert authorities if forced entry is detected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a high-power camera lens with night vision capability is installed in the peephole, then visibility in low light conditions is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple security functions (camera lens, night vision, microphone, sensors, intercom, doorbell, alarm system) into a single integrated smart door device. This merging approach improves low-light visibility and overall security monitoring while consolidating device complexity into one unified system rather than separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart door device performs multiple functions simultaneously: visual monitoring via camera lens, audio communication through microphone and intercom, security detection with sensors, and alarm capabilities. This multi-functionality improves comprehensive security monitoring while sharing common hardware resources to manage device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple security devices (camera, microphone, sensors, intercom, alarm) are integrated into the door, then comprehensive monitoring and communication capabilities are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates camera lens, microphone, sensors, intercom, doorbell, and alarm system into a single smart door device. This merging provides comprehensive monitoring and communication capabilities while consolidating multiple functions into one unified structure, managing complexity through integration rather than proliferation of separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart door device serves multiple security and communication functions simultaneously: visual surveillance, audio recording, intercom communication, doorbell signaling, and alarm notification. This multi-functionality enhances adaptability and versatility while sharing common power, processing, and output resources to control overall device complexity.
3Loss of information
If video and audio recording capabilities are added to the door system, then information gathering capability is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The smart door device employs periodic recording triggered by motion detection from sensors rather than continuous recording. When sensors detect movement or activity at the door, the camera and microphone activate to record video and audio information. This periodic operation based on detected events reduces energy consumption while maintaining effective information gathering capability for security monitoring.
