, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of safety and security management. More particularly it relates to the security of precious and valuable items like cash, documents, arms and ammunition, jewellery, ornaments and similar items either when they are kept stationary or during their transport from one location to another location.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Transportation or transport of any item is one of the most important and imperative activities among the supporting systems of current business fields. When it comes to the transport of precious and valuable items like arms and ammunition, cash, documents, jewellery, ornaments and many more likewise, then the security of such items plays a pivotal role further. All such precious items are the assets of the owner carrying high monetary value. These assets are looked upon as an investment which can be encashed or kept as a mortgage during an emergency. These are required to be insured and secured during mishaps or accidents like robbery, theft, burglary etc.

At present, there is a lot of human intervention while handling and transporting such valuable items from one location to another location. People engaged in this activity have faced many psychological, physical issues since they find themselves very much insecure and under continuous mental stress during such transportation. It is like a life-threatening task for them.

The Indian Patent Application 201921022928 reveals an intelligent box with multiple security features useful only for banks to transport the currency. This intelligent box prevents unauthorized access of human beings thereby ruling out human intervention and improving the security of currency transport. This invention has a limitation that it handles security aspects of transportation of bank currency only.

The US patent US7714708, reveals the smart cargo container system applicable to all industries involved in transport and warehousing of goods, especially high-added-value goods, such as pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics goods, electronic parts, entertainment products, and goods requiring high-security transport. This system mainly handles the security aspects of the transportation of consumer goods mentioned above.

Considering the current situation and the way the world is progressing, the security of any valuable item is going to be a very crucial and important aspect. Not only the companies involved in transportation and goods carriers, the banks and jewellery shops dealing with money and ornaments, arms and ammunition factories manufacturing weapons but also a common man in the country needs security for his valuables either when those are kept at home or while carrying them from one place to another, in his daily routine. Thus, there is a pressing need for safe handling of any kind of valuables for every individual as well. In addition to the security of valuables, it is also imperative to provide security to all the personnel involved in the transportation of the valuables. But the prior art found so far has not addressed this aspect.

The inventor of this present invention has mitigated the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a security system (150) comprising an easily portable and operable, well secured with strong locking mechanism and affordable security device (153) which makes smart decisions and provides live updates of the situation around the device with live security reports to the customers for every transit of their valuables which can be of any kind. Also, the said device (153) has varying shape and size which is adequate to accommodate the volume of any kind of valuables. It is manufactured using tamper-resistant material which is comparatively affordable to source customer (154) and is also complying to security requirements of the type of valuables to be transported. These live security reports are automatically generated by the system. These are based on built-in predefined security parameters which are required for the type of valuables to be transported. This security system functions through a logically instructed security device which is operably connected to a central data server for data communication, thereby reducing human intervention to a great scale.

The detailed description of the present invention is followed herewith.

The source customer (154) while registering all the responsible persons who are going to handle the security device (153) during transportation, collects their user credentials and fingerprints for authentication on the security device (150). The information about these persons who will be handling the device is shared with the data server (151) to validate previous employment history stored in the database of the server (151). Based on the trust rating stored therein, the system (150) suggests the suitability of the person being added in the system profile for the employer based on his record.

After successful login by the source customer (154), at step (210), the method involves activation of default security sensors and controls by accessing built-in preloaded and preactivated SIM (106) of the security device (153), which is in possession with the source customer (154). Referring to figure 8, which illustrates sequential enabling of controls and sensors namely Motion sensor (107), GPS & GSM Module (106), LEDs (115), Vibrator (116), Speakers (119), Fingerprint Scanner (114), a Locking mechanism (117), Weight Sensor (109), Microphone (108), Tilt Sensor (112), Ambient Light Sensor (118), Communication Module (120) and wireless charging receiver antenna (121), as a mandatory process for activating the security device (153) for its working.

After successful enabling of default features of security device (153), at step (220), the method involves enabling of those security sensors which are already configured into the system (150) based on predefined security parameters required for types of valuables to be transported by source customer (154) to destination customer (155).

Referring to figure 9, which illustrates the enabling of such configured sensors namely UV lights (118), Temperature Sensors (111), Humidity Sensor (113), Camera (105), Sonar System (110) and tamper detection process. The tamper detection method is based on interpretation of the combination of signals from Weight sensor (109), Microphone (108), Humidity sensor (113), Temperature sensor (111), Tilt sensor (112), a Motion sensor (107), Camera (105) and Ambient Light Sensor (122) using logical intelligence. This method will be used to detect the abnormal activities of the security device (153) to trigger all alarms on the device and alert customers. These abnormal results from any combination of these sensors are treated as tampering of the security device (153). The security device (153) is enabled with the tamper detection method which is implemented on data server (151). It also detects false tampering and omits it from the final tamper detection. False tampering could be detected when a vehicle gets a jerk due to speed breaker or sudden application of brakes while driving is ignored based on location information.

Referring to figure 10, at step (230), the method involves auto-generation of security reports for customer-driven security parameters by accessing the records stored into the database of a server (151). These auto-generated reports are stored in encrypted form in databases hosted on a data server (151) and are shared with source customer (154) and destination customer (155). Also, these reports are made available to already registered supporting agencies like investigation agencies or similar in the system (150). The investigation agencies and supporting agencies will get a mirror web portal of the main portal for ease of their investigation, for their ready reference for further necessary actions against the complaint and FIR lodged for the mishandled security device (153) if any mishap and mishandling of valuables occurs while they are transported from source customer (154) to destination customer (155). The access to the investigation and supporting agencies will be until the resolution of the particular complaint.
