Solution Overview

Problem

Existing monitoring systems struggle to efficiently confirm events detected in video data, particularly those with uncertain situations, leading to potential delays in urgent responses.

Innovation Solution

A management method and device that acquire video data from monitoring terminals, detect events, and display detection times and event types with icons based on importance levels, enhancing visual recognition and prioritization on a display device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If image information is displayed on the screen in association with event information, then it is easy to confirm what kind of event has occurred at which position, but it is not easy to confirm an event whose situation has not yet been determined

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent confirmation accuracyVSAvoidevent confirmation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments event information into distinct components: event type (with icons), detection time, and importance level. This segmentation allows monitoring staff to quickly scan and identify different aspects of events without being overwhelmed by comprehensive but undifferentiated information, thereby reducing confirmation time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by displaying different visual characteristics for different event attributes. Event types are represented by specific icons, importance levels by distinct visual cues, and detection times by temporal markers. This differentiated presentation allows monitoring staff to quickly identify and prioritize events based on their specific needs, improving both speed and accuracy of confirmation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple events are monitored by a single staff, then monitoring coverage is increased, but event confirmation efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring coverageVSAvoidevent confirmation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts critical event attributes (type, time, importance) from the full video data and presents them in a condensed format. This extraction allows monitoring staff to review multiple events simultaneously without needing to analyze complete video feeds for each event, thereby maintaining expanded monitoring coverage while improving confirmation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional video display to a multi-dimensional information presentation that includes temporal dimension (detection time), categorical dimension (event type icons), and priority dimension (importance level). This dimensional expansion allows staff to efficiently manage multiple events by filtering and prioritizing based on different dimensions simultaneously.

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