Solution Overview

Problem

Existing region management and control systems require manual real-time monitoring of surveillance videos, leading to high labor costs and inefficiencies in detecting illegal intrusions into specific regions.

Innovation Solution

A region management and control method that involves obtaining current video images and target region graphics, determining if a person graphic meets predetermined conditions such as space, identity, time, protection, number, or body temperature conditions, and sending alarm information accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual real-time monitoring of surveillance videos is used, then region management and control can be implemented, but labor cost increases and detection efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual monitoring system with an automated computer vision system. The system uses image processing algorithms to automatically detect person graphics in video frames, determine their bounding boxes, and check for intersections with target region graphics. This substitution eliminates the need for manual real-time video watching while maintaining high detection accuracy for illegal intrusions.

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

2Productivity

If automated image processing is implemented, then labor cost decreases and detection efficiency increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the monitoring task into distinct processing stages: obtaining current video images, detecting person graphics and their bounding boxes, obtaining target region graphics and their bounding boxes, and checking for intersections between these graphics. This segmentation allows each stage to be handled by specialized algorithms, improving overall detection efficiency while making the system more manageable despite increased complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses graphic representations (bounding boxes) as simplified copies of actual persons and regions. Instead of processing complex video data directly, the system creates and manipulates simplified rectangular graphics that represent people and target regions. This copying approach significantly reduces computational complexity while maintaining detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If multiple condition checks are performed (space, identity, time, protection, number, temperature), then detection accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary spatial intersection checks between person graphics and target region graphics before conducting more complex identity verification, time validation, or temperature assessment. By quickly eliminating cases where no spatial intersection exists, the system reduces the number of subjects requiring further detailed analysis, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining high detection precision for actual intrusions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
