Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If physical identification cards use preset security features, then security verification is provided, but users are susceptible to fraud and counterfeiting when security features are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity verificationVSAvoidfraud and counterfeiting risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic security features that change over time or in response to user actions. The digital identification system allows security parameters to be dynamically adjusted, making the identification more resistant to fraud and counterfeiting compared to static physical card security features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes security parameters dynamically, such as updating authentication credentials, modifying access permissions, or altering verification methods based on contextual factors. This parameter variability prevents exploitation of fixed security vulnerabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If physical identification cards are reissued when user information changes, then user information accuracy is maintained, but users experience inconvenience and waiting time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information accuracyVSAvoidcard reissue waiting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses digital copies of identification data that can be instantly updated and redistributed. Instead of physically reissuing cards, the digital identification system propagates updated user information across the network immediately, eliminating the need for physical card replacement and associated waiting time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary updates to user information in the database before any verification occurs. When user data changes, the system proactively updates all associated digital identification records in advance, ensuring information accuracy is maintained without requiring users to wait for physical card reissuance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If digital identification uses three-dimensional composite images, then security against fraud is enhanced, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud resistanceVSAvoidimage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from two-dimensional flat images to three-dimensional composite images for user identification. This dimensional enhancement provides depth information and multiple viewing angles, significantly improving fraud detection capabilities while the processing complexity is managed through efficient algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges multiple two-dimensional facial images into a single three-dimensional composite image. By combining multiple image sources and synthesizing them into one integrated 3D representation, the system achieves enhanced security verification while consolidating processing steps rather than multiplying them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that include generating a three-dimensional composite image of a user from a set of two dimensional facial images. For instance, a depth map may initially be generated for each of the two dimensional facial images based on depth information. The depth maps may be used to identify matching elements that are used to combine multiple two-dimensional images. The generated three-dimensional composite image may then be displayed on a digital identification of a user device. In some instances, the rendering of the three-dimensional composite image on the user device may be adjusted based on tilting motions.
