Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Captcha methods are becoming increasingly complex, making them difficult for humans to solve while also being susceptible to automated hacking, leading to user frustration and security vulnerabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method involving three-dimensional virtual objects where users interact with 3D objects through manipulation and transformation to confirm their human nature, using interaction data that correspond to predefined solution data to authenticate access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the complexity of Captcha is increased to prevent automated hacking, then security is improved, but user accessibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiduser accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional 2D Captcha (text or flat images) to 3D virtual objects that users can manipulate in three-dimensional space. This dimensional upgrade increases complexity for automated systems while maintaining intuitiveness for human users through natural spatial interaction.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional text-based or static image-based Captcha mechanisms with interactive 3D object manipulation. Users interact with virtual objects through dragging, rotating, and positioning in 3D space, which is more intuitive for humans but significantly more difficult for automated computer vision systems to solve.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If traditional Captcha methods are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but security deteriorates due to automated hacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser accessibilityVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By moving from 2D to 3D, the patent creates a Captcha system that maintains user-friendly interaction through natural spatial manipulation while presenting a significantly harder challenge to automated hacking tools that are primarily designed for 2D text and image recognition.

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

3Reliability

If 3D virtual objects are used for Captcha, then security is improved by challenging automated systems, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates 3D virtual objects and automatically processes the interaction data without requiring complex manual verification. The server autonomously compares user interactions with predefined solution data, maintaining simplicity in the verification process despite the increased complexity of the 3D Captcha itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method, a device and a system for controlling access to a service by a user. The method is implemented by an access device. The method includes the following steps on the device to verify the human status of a user: obtaining at least one three-dimensional virtual object and associated data, referred to as resolution data; controlling playback of the at least one virtual object for the user; obtaining user interaction data with the at least one virtual object; and if the interaction data correspond to the resolution data, confirming the human status of the user.
