Power Storage Battery Authentication for Autonomous Theft Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Power storage devices, such as those used in vehicles and communication terminals, are expensive and prone to theft, with existing theft detection systems requiring external communication to function effectively.
Innovation Solution
A power storage device equipped with a control device that includes a storage section for first authentication information, a reading section for second authentication information, an authentication section to check for matching information, and an alert section to provide authentication results, allowing for theft detection and energization control without external communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication with external information terminal is required for theft detection, then theft detection accuracy can be improved, but device complexity and dependency on external systems increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power storage device performs theft detection autonomously using its own biometric authentication capabilities. The control device reads biometric information from the user, compares it with stored information, and determines theft without requiring external communication systems. This self-service approach eliminates dependency on external information terminals while maintaining reliable theft detection.
2Reliability
If biometric authentication is implemented, then security against unauthorized use is improved, but ease of operation may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication methods (keys, passwords, cards) with biometric authentication. The control device reads biometric information directly from the user's body (such as fingerprint, facial recognition, or iris) and performs automated comparison with stored data. This substitution provides high security while maintaining ease of operation, as biometric authentication is more convenient than carrying physical credentials and cannot be lost or forgotten.

AI summary
A power storage device includes a case, a storage battery accommodated within the case, and a processor that controls energization of the storage battery, and the processor being configured to: store first authentication information associated with a specific user, read second authentication information from an arbitrary user, check whether or not the second authentication information and the first authentication information match with each other, and provide an alert about a check result.
