Existing methods for securing objects against tampering, especially in large quantities or hard-to-access locations, require significant manual effort and time due to the need for continuous surveillance and manual inspection of tampering indicators, such as broken wires.
Innovation Solution
A security device with a wireless sending mechanism that detects predefined forces and triggers a change in its sending behavior, allowing for remote and automated monitoring of object status, utilizing a housing, battery, and a triggering mechanism, such as a strap with a breaking point, connected to a Bluetooth emitter, which sends signals to a central control device for notification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If manual surveillance and inspection methods are used to monitor secured objects, then the monitoring can be performed with simple devices, but the manual effort and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system performs self-inspection through automated wireless signal transmission and evaluation. The security device autonomously monitors the integrity of secured objects by evaluating signal characteristics, eliminating the need for manual wire inspections and significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical inspection with an automated electronic monitoring system. Instead of physically checking wires and security indicators, the system uses wireless signals and automated evaluation logic to detect tampering, reducing manual effort while keeping the overall device complexity low.
2Ease of operation
If automated wireless monitoring is implemented, then manual effort is reduced, but the device complexity increases due to additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The housing serves multiple functions: it protects internal components, provides structural support, and acts as part of the triggering mechanism itself. The wireless sending device integrates both signal transmission and evaluation capabilities. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, maintaining ease of operation while limiting the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the triggering mechanism with the housing structure, and integrates the wireless sending and receiving functions into a unified system. The housing and triggering mechanism are merged into a single structural unit, reducing component count and simplifying the overall device while enabling automated monitoring operations.
3Ease of manufacture
If simple wire-based security systems are used, then the devices can be provided in large quantities at reasonable cost, but manual inspection of each wire is necessary consuming large amounts of time
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system performs self-inspection through automated wireless signal transmission and evaluation. The security device autonomously monitors the integrity of secured objects by evaluating signal characteristics, eliminating the need for manual wire inspections and significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical inspection with an automated electronic monitoring system. Instead of physically checking wires and security indicators, the system uses wireless signals and automated evaluation logic to detect tampering, reducing manual effort while keeping the overall device complexity low.
4Reliability
If continuous monitoring is implemented for multiple objects, then security coverage is improved, but the amount of manual surveillance required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system performs self-inspection through automated wireless signal transmission and evaluation. The security device autonomously monitors the integrity of secured objects by evaluating signal characteristics, eliminating the need for manual wire inspections and significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback through wireless signal transmission between security devices and central control. The evaluation unit continuously assesses signal characteristics to detect tampering, providing real-time security monitoring across multiple objects with high reliability and full automation.
