Solution Overview

Problem

Existing security systems require users to actively provide identification, such as entering codes or wearing badges, which can be inconvenient and may not accurately identify individuals.

Innovation Solution

A security system that uses tiered analysis to identify individuals based on their patterns, including biometric data, electronic device usage, and behavioral patterns, and adjusts its state accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users actively provide identification (entering codes or wearing badges), then the security system can identify individuals, but the convenience is reduced and accuracy may be insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables individuals to be automatically identified through their electronic devices without requiring active participation. The security system passively monitors electronic device information, communication patterns, and behavioral data to automatically determine identity, eliminating the need for users to manually input codes or wear identification badges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical identification methods (keypad codes, physical badges) with electronic and data-based identification. The system uses electronic device metadata, communication patterns, and behavioral analytics to identify individuals, substituting physical interaction with automated electronic analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If the security system uses passive pattern recognition, then user convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The security system is divided into multiple independent analysis tiers, each focusing on specific types of data (electronic device information, communication patterns, behavioral analysis). This segmentation allows the complex identification task to be broken down into manageable modules that can be processed separately and then integrated to form a complete identification decision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds multiple analytical dimensions to identification by examining electronic device metadata, communication network patterns, temporal behavioral data, and spatial information. This multi-dimensional approach enables accurate passive identification without requiring a single complex analysis method.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If the security system monitors multiple data types (biometric, electronic device, behavioral), then identification accuracy is improved, but the loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoiddata processing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects more data than traditionally necessary (electronic device information, communication patterns, behavioral data) but processes only the essential portions needed for identification. By gathering excessive information initially and then selectively analyzing relevant portions, the system ensures accurate identification while managing data processing overhead through targeted analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A method for operating a security system, the method including: receiving an indication of an object in a premises; determining, responsive to receiving the indication, to assign an identity to the object based on the indication; tracking movement of the object on the premises; determining, based on the movement, whether to maintain the identity assigned to the object; and in response to determining not to maintain the identity assigned to the object, generating at least one output by the security system.
