Solution Overview

Problem

Biometric authentication systems face challenges in preventing unauthorized access and data tampering due to the vulnerability of electronic information transmission and storage, particularly in network-based authentication processes.

Innovation Solution

An authentication system that utilizes a network of servers and input devices to perform temporal and spatial authentication by matching biometric information with movement data, including position and time stamps, to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If biometric information is converted into electronic information and transmitted via network, then authentication can be performed remotely, but the electronic information becomes vulnerable to tampering, leakage, and theft

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote authentication capabilityVSAvoidsecurity of electronic information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary authentication by comparing biometric information with registered data before allowing any network-based operations. This preliminary check ensures that only authenticated users can access the system, preventing unauthorized tampering or theft of electronic information during transmission or storage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism that mediates between the user and the network system. The biometric authentication server acts as a trusted intermediary that verifies user identity before allowing access to electronic information, thereby protecting against unauthorized operations while enabling remote authentication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If traditional identification cards are used for authentication, then the system is simple to operate, but the cards are easily copied or forged leading to unauthorized acts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of authenticationVSAvoidresistance to copying and forgery
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical identification cards with biometric authentication systems. Instead of using physical cards that can be copied or forged, the system uses biological characteristics (fingerprint, voice, face) that are inherently difficult to replicate, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while dramatically improving security against copying and forgery

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

3Productivity

If electronic information authentication is used, then authentication speed is improved, but the vulnerability to tampering and leakage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication speedVSAvoidvulnerability to tampering and leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary biometric verification before allowing electronic information to be accessed or transmitted. This preliminary authentication step ensures that even if electronic information is intercepted during high-speed transmission, unauthorized parties cannot utilize it without passing the biometric verification barrier

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary anti-action by pre-authenticating users through biometric verification before any electronic information operations. This creates a protective barrier that counteracts potential tampering or leakage attempts, allowing fast electronic authentication while maintaining security through the preliminary biometric check

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

AI summary

[PROBLEMS] To provide an authentication system improving authentication accuracy of existence of a registered person and easily find an unauthorized act to improve the security in a system by performing authentication using coincidence/non-coincidence of biometrics information and temporal/spatial authentication when performing individual authentication via a network by using electronic information which is easily tampered, easily leaks out, and is easily stolen. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] An authentication server (1) includes a database for managing individual information on a registered person to be authenticated. Moreover, the authentication server (1) is connected to a plurality of management servers (2) via a communication network and correlates the individual information transmitted from an individual information input device (3) via the management server (2) with the individual information in the database, thereby authenticating the existence of the registered person.
