Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If physical interaction is required for authorization, then authentication reliability is improved, but user convenience and operational ease deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical mechanical interaction (touching buttons, inserting cards) with optical scanning technology. The LiDAR system uses light pulses to scan and capture unique identifiers from distance, eliminating the need for physical contact while maintaining authentication reliability through precise optical detection and verification protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary optical scanning system between the user and the entity device. Instead of direct physical interaction, the LiDAR scanner acts as a mediator that captures unique identifiers from the user's device or credential, enabling authentication without physical contact while preserving security and reliability.
2Ease of operation
If physical interaction is eliminated for authorization, then user convenience is improved, but authentication security and reliability worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical interaction with optical detection technology. The LiDAR system uses time-of-flight measurements and light reflection to capture unique identifiers from a distance, providing contactless authentication that maintains security through precise optical verification and multi-factor authentication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates an optical copy or scan of the unique identifier using LiDAR technology. Instead of requiring physical possession and handover of credentials, the system captures an optical representation of the identifier from distance, enabling secure contactless authentication while preventing physical theft or tampering.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If contactless authorization is implemented, then hygiene and safety are improved, but measurement precision and detection difficulty worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces contact-based mechanical authentication with optical detection. The LiDAR system uses laser light pulses to measure distance and capture unique identifiers from a distance, maintaining hygiene and safety while achieving high measurement precision through time-of-flight calculations and optical signal processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional physical contact surfaces to three-dimensional spatial optical detection. The LiDAR system measures distance, angle, and position in 3D space to capture unique identifiers, adding spatial dimensions to the authentication process while maintaining precision through multi-dimensional data verification.
