Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple identity verification manners are provided to improve user experience, then the adaptability to different scenarios is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different scenariosVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects the appropriate identity verification manner based on current scenario and device capabilities rather than using a fixed verification method. The first device determines the target identity verification manner from multiple available manners by analyzing device information and scenario context, making the verification system adaptive and flexible without requiring all verification components to be permanently active simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The first device is designed to support multiple identity verification manners (facial recognition, voiceprint recognition, fingerprint recognition, soft biometric trait recognition) and can function as a universal verification platform. By obtaining device information about the second device and determining the most suitable verification manner, the system achieves multi-functionality without requiring separate dedicated systems for each verification type

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

2Measurement precision

If the identity verification system collects and processes more device information to determine the target verification manner, then the accuracy of scenario matching is improved, but the data usage and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of scenario matchingVSAvoidverification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by obtaining device information (hardware parameters, device type, wireless transmission information, device functions) before the actual identity verification process. This preliminary action allows the system to pre-determine the most suitable verification manner, so that when verification is needed, the process can proceed quickly without analyzing all possible verification types in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes verification parameters by selecting different identity verification manners based on device information parameters. By analyzing hardware parameters, device type, wireless transmission information, and device functions, the system adjusts the verification approach to match the specific device capabilities and scenario requirements, achieving accurate matching without unnecessary processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A device configured to collect to-be-verified identity information of a user and a device configured to verify the to-be-verified identity information may perform a user identity verification method. The device configured to collect the to-be-verified identity information or the device configured to verify the to-be-verified identity information may determine a target identity verification manner applicable to a non-self device from a plurality of identity verification manners based on device information of the non-self device.
