Wireless Sensing Event Registration for Area Monitoring Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication networks lack clarity on how to identify and manage sensing restricted areas, leading to inefficient use of network resources and energy in monitoring events.
Innovation Solution
A method for requesting and initiating wireless sensing services that allows for area-related notification functionality, where sensing events are detected and notifications are sent only when specific conditions are met, such as an object entering or leaving a defined area, using a sensing capability enabler server and API to manage sensing functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If continuous sensing results are transmitted to requesting entities, then complete monitoring coverage is achieved, but network resource consumption and energy usage increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements event-triggered periodic transmission where sensing results are transmitted only when specific events occur (e.g., object enters restricted area, sensing parameters exceed thresholds). This replaces continuous transmission with conditional periodic transmission, reducing network resource consumption while maintaining monitoring reliability through timely event-based notifications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and transmits only the essential sensing information related to specific events or restricted areas rather than transmitting all sensing data continuously. By filtering and extracting only relevant sensing results (e.g., objects in restricted areas, threshold violations), the system maintains monitoring coverage while significantly reducing network resource consumption
2Reliability
If sensing monitoring is implemented for restricted areas, then area security is improved, but it is unclear how the sensing function identifies and manages these restricted areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (sensing capability enabler server or location management function) that acts as a mediator between the sensing function and restricted area definitions. This intermediary manages the complexity of restricted area identification and configuration, providing clear interfaces for defining restricted areas and their associated sensing parameters, thereby improving area security while managing system complexity through standardized mediation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary configuration of restricted areas and their associated sensing parameters before actual sensing operations begin. By pre-defining restricted areas, sensing events, and notification conditions in advance, the system prepares the sensing function to efficiently identify and monitor restricted areas without requiring complex real-time decision-making, thus improving area security while reducing operational complexity
