Video Surveillance Identity Correlation via Wireless Terminal Location
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Video surveillance systems lack the capability to provide real-time identification information of individuals observed in images, making it difficult for operators to take appropriate responsive actions without knowing the identity of the individuals.
Innovation Solution
A system that combines video surveillance with location tracking information by using cameras to identify individuals and correlating this data with wireless communication terminals in their vicinity, extracting identity attributes such as IMSI or TMSI, and retrieving identification information from these terminals to present to the operator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If video surveillance systems only use camera images for monitoring, then the system structure remains simple, but the capability to provide real-time identification information of individuals is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines video surveillance systems with location tracking systems by integrating camera images with wireless terminal location data. The processor correlates individual positions from video feeds with terminal locations from communication networks, merging two separate information sources into a unified identification system that provides both visual monitoring and identity recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that receives data from both video cameras and location tracking networks. This intermediary processor acts as a mediator that correlates the two data streams, matching individual positions in video frames with corresponding terminal locations to extract identification information without requiring direct integration of the underlying systems.
2Productivity
If video surveillance systems integrate location tracking and identification retrieval, then real-time identification capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary correlation between video feed positions and location tracking data continuously in the background. By pre-establishing the relationship between individual positions and terminal locations before identification requests are made, the system enables rapid retrieval of identification information when needed, improving responsive action effectiveness without adding significant processing delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated system automatically correlates video positions with location data and retrieves identification information without requiring manual intervention. The processor self-services by continuously matching individual positions with terminal locations and autonomously providing identification details to operators, reducing the need for manual cross-referencing and improving operational efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
A system having interfaces to receive images from one or more cameras and location information with respect to wireless communication terminals. A notification may be received regarding an individual observed in the images. Next, wireless communication terminals located in a vicinity of the individual may be identified. From the identified wireless communication terminals, identification information applicable to the individual may be obtained. The identification information may be, e.g., personal information related to a subscriber of the given wireless communication terminal.
