If traditional biometric user identification techniques are used, then the system structure is simple, but the identification accuracy is low and security is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The neural network is divided into multiple specialized layers: image recognition network for extracting basic features, generalist network for categorizing features, and specialist network for precise identification. Each layer handles specific processing tasks, allowing the system to achieve high accuracy through incremental refinement while maintaining manageable complexity through functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from traditional 2D image processing to 3D volumetric analysis by incorporating depth information and multi-layer neural network processing. The back propagation neural network adds a temporal dimension through sequential processing of features across multiple layers, enabling the system to capture complex patterns that traditional 2D methods cannot detect.

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

2Reliability

If users remain stationary for identification, then the measurement process is simple, but the identification reliability is reduced due to spoofing risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification securityVSAvoiduser operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates dynamic analysis by tracking eye movements and analyzing temporal variations in biometric data. Instead of relying on static images, the neural network processes sequences of data captured during eye movement, making it difficult for static spoofs to deceive the system. The specialist network specifically analyzes motion patterns to verify authenticity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The back propagation neural network implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors and adjusts its analysis based on the user's responses. The error suppression layer provides feedback to correct misidentifications, and the learning elevation mechanism adapts to new patterns, creating a self-correcting system that improves reliability over time.

Inventive Principle:

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive biometric analysis is performed, then the identification precision is high, but the computing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The computational workload is segmented across specialized networks: the image recognition network handles basic feature extraction with optimized computing, the generalist network performs categorization with intermediate processing, and the specialist network conducts precise matching with focused computation. This segmentation allows high precision through specialized processing rather than brute-force analysis of all possible features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial analysis by focusing computational resources on the most discriminative features identified by the generalist network. Rather than analyzing all possible biometric parameters equally, the specialist network concentrates on specific characteristics that provide the highest identification precision, achieving high accuracy with reduced overall computing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
