Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If two-dimensional codes are used for authentication, then the authentication process is simple and convenient, but the security is compromised as verification information can be easily replicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication convenienceVSAvoidverification security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional authentication codes to three-dimensional authentication images. The verification information is encoded into 3D image data that requires specific viewing angles and spatial positioning to decode, adding a dimensional layer of security that prevents easy replication while maintaining user convenience through automatic camera-based capture

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

2Reliability

If multiple cameras and complex processing are used for three-dimensional image verification, then the security is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification securityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the user's existing smartphone serve multiple functions: it acts as both the display device for showing the 3D authentication image and the capture device for verifying it. The smartphone's camera, processor, and display are leveraged for dual purposes, eliminating the need for separate dedicated verification hardware and reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If verification information is displayed on screen, then the authentication process is straightforward, but the information can be leaked through photography

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication processVSAvoidinformation leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent encodes verification information into specific spatial regions and angular perspectives of the 3D image. Different portions of the 3D image contain different encoded data that is only accessible from specific viewing angles. This localized distribution of verification information means that even if part of the image is captured, the complete verification data cannot be obtained without the proper 3D viewing conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
