Solution Overview

Problem

Current identity recognition technologies in scenarios like subway entry and exit require additional user interaction and can be inefficient due to large sample libraries, leading to reduced recognition accuracy and congestion.

Innovation Solution

An identity recognition system that dynamically maintains a limited biometric library by obtaining and managing pre-stored user biometric information within a preset range, using Bluetooth connections and location data, and enabling/disabling terminal functions based on recognition results, allowing for seamless and accurate biometric authentication without additional user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a large biometric sample library is used for recognition, then the recognition coverage is improved, but the recognition accuracy decreases and processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition coverageVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the biometric sample library into multiple subsets based on spatial location. Instead of using one large library containing all user biometric data, the system divides it into smaller location-specific libraries. When a user approaches a terminal, only the subset corresponding to that terminal's location is used for recognition, thereby maintaining high accuracy while covering multiple locations through segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by making each biometric library subset location-specific rather than uniform. Each subset is tailored to a particular terminal or location, containing only the biometric data relevant to that specific area. This ensures high recognition accuracy at each location while the overall system maintains broad coverage through multiple localized subsets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If a large biometric sample library is used for recognition, then the recognition coverage is improved, but the processing time and system congestion increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition coverageVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the biometric sample library into multiple subsets based on spatial location. Instead of using one large library containing all user biometric data, the system divides it into smaller location-specific libraries. When a user approaches a terminal, only the subset corresponding to that terminal's location is used for recognition, thereby maintaining high accuracy while covering multiple locations through segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by using only the necessary portion of the biometric library for each recognition task. Instead of searching through the entire library, the system activates only the specific subset relevant to the current terminal and user location. This partial usage significantly reduces processing time and computational resources while still achieving complete coverage across all locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If additional user information input is required for authentication, then the authentication reliability is improved, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoiduser interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling automatic authentication through biometric recognition alone. The system automatically retrieves the user's biometric data from the appropriate subset, performs recognition, and completes authentication without requiring the user to manually input additional information such as phone numbers or passwords. The user simply needs to present their biometric特征, and the system handles the entire authentication process autonomously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical interaction (manual information input) with biometric recognition. Instead of requiring users to physically type or enter additional authentication information, the system uses automated biometric detection and comparison. This substitution eliminates the need for manual input while maintaining or enhancing authentication reliability through more accurate biometric verification.

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

4Ease of operation

If public transportation cards or QR codes are used for entry and exit, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the productivity and efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
