Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual verification of health status, such as vaccination and temperature checks, at entry points to facilities is time-consuming, leading to traffic congestion and exposure risks for security personnel, and there is a need to automate this process while ensuring security and limiting the number of people entering.
Innovation Solution
A smart gate system equipped with a thermal sensor, QR code reader, database, gate controller, and server to automate the verification of health status and temperature, ensuring only authorized and vaccinated individuals can enter, with features like a spooled sheath protector for contactless temperature measurement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual verification of health status is performed, then security and health checks are ensured, but verification time increases and traffic congestion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical verification with an automated smart gate system that uses thermal sensors, QR code readers, and database systems to automatically verify health status, vaccination records, and temperature, eliminating the need for manual checking while maintaining verification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service verification where individuals present their health status through QR codes and temperature measurements are automatically taken by the smart gate, allowing rapid verification without requiring security personnel to manually check each individual
2Reliability
If manual health checks are conducted, then health status verification is performed, but security personnel are exposed to disease risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates direct contact between security personnel and individuals by using automated thermal sensors and QR code reading systems, allowing health verification to be performed remotely without exposing personnel to disease risk
Solution Approach 2:
The smart gate system acts as an intermediary between security personnel and individuals, automatically handling health verification through thermal imaging and QR code validation, thus protecting personnel while maintaining verification reliability
3Productivity
If multiple security persons are deployed for verification, then verification capability is improved, but operational cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The smart gate system performs self-service verification automatically, processing multiple individuals sequentially through automated thermal and QR code checks, achieving high verification throughput without requiring additional human resources
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces human verification with automated electronic systems including thermal cameras, QR code readers, and database validation, enabling rapid processing of multiple individuals while reducing the number of security personnel needed
