Solution Overview

Problem

Current information processing systems lack an efficient method to simultaneously display and authenticate operation targets and authentication objects, leading to confusion and errors in function execution.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that acquires data using an image capturing unit, displays operation targets and authentication objects in different areas, and performs authentication-based displays, allowing for real-time identification and execution of associated functions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the system displays only one image at a time, then the display is simple and clear, but the authentication process becomes time-consuming and less efficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the authentication interface into multiple distinct display areas: a first display area showing the operation target image and a second display area showing the authentication object image. This segmentation allows both images to be displayed simultaneously without overwhelming the user, as each image occupies a dedicated spatial region. The segmentation principle resolves the contradiction by enabling parallel display of multiple images (improving efficiency) while maintaining visual clarity through spatial separation (controlling complexity).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from temporal display (showing images sequentially in time) to spatial display (showing images simultaneously in different spatial areas). By utilizing the spatial dimension of the display screen, the system can present both the operation target and authentication object at the same time, thereby improving authentication efficiency without increasing temporal complexity of the interaction flow.

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

2Reliability

If the system displays operation target and authentication object in the same area, then the interface is compact, but user confusion increases and authentication accuracy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is segmented into multiple functional areas: a first display area for the operation target image and a second display area for the authentication object image. This spatial segmentation ensures that each image type has its own dedicated region, preventing visual confusion while maintaining efficient use of the overall display area. The segmentation principle allows the system to prioritize authentication accuracy through clear visual distinction without requiring excessive display space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the system requires multiple sequential steps for authentication, then security verification is thorough, but the operation time increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation speedVSAvoidsecurity verification
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary display of both the operation target image and the authentication object image simultaneously before the authentication decision is made. This preliminary visual presentation allows the user to immediately compare and verify the authentication elements without sequential delays, thereby accelerating the operation speed while maintaining thorough security verification through side-by-side visual comparison.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the display of the operation target image and the authentication object image into a single unified interface that appears simultaneously. By combining these displays in different areas of the same screen, the system eliminates the need for multiple sequential display steps, thereby reducing operation time while maintaining comprehensive security verification through the simultaneous visual presentation of all authentication elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
