Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sensor auto-routing systems rely solely on present system data, leading to unwanted abrupt re-routing, prolonged understanding of premises conditions, and missed critical alarms due to inefficient routing decisions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a machine learning algorithm that incorporates historical data and current parameters to analyze sensor and RF portal patterns, creating a weightage table for optimal routing based on signal strength, sensor association, and response type, thereby avoiding abrupt re-routing and ensuring critical sensors are prioritized.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If auto routing is based only on present system data, then routing decisions can be made quickly, but unwanted abrupt re-routing occurs and critical alarms may be missed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting decision speedVSAvoidrouting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of historical data to establish baseline routing patterns and sensor-criticality classifications before actual routing decisions are needed. This preparation enables faster real-time decisions while maintaining reliability through pre-established patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops that continuously monitor routing decisions and outcomes, comparing actual performance against historical patterns. This feedback mechanism prevents abrupt re-routing by learning from past decisions and adjusting future routing stability accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If historical data analysis is incorporated into routing decisions, then routing stability improves, but processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting stabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments historical data analysis into distinct modules: data collection, pattern recognition, criticality classification, and decision integration. Each segment handles specific aspects of historical data processing, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Historical data is pre-processed and stored in structured formats during system operation, with key patterns and metrics extracted in advance. This preliminary action reduces the computational burden during real-time routing decisions, maintaining simplicity while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning algorithms are deployed for sensor routing, then routing intelligence improves, but computational requirements and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning algorithm processes only the most relevant historical data and current sensor parameters needed for routing decisions, rather than analyzing all available data. This partial action approach maintains high routing intelligence while reducing computational energy consumption to acceptable levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A system relating to using machine learning and associated technologies for auto routing of wireless sensors to one of the multiple radio frequency (RF) portals/gateways which in turn may be interfaced/wired to control panel(s). A deployed machine learning algorithm may incorporate current parameters and historical data, such as signal strength, sensor association, critical sensor response types and disruption in the network, to determine sensor routing for one of the appropriate RF portal/gateway which in turn is interfaced to control panel(s).
