Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a biosensor is used to detect biological information on a touchscreen panel, then authentication can be performed, but detection accuracy deteriorates when finger proximity varies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidbiological information detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by detecting whether the user's finger has moved along a predetermined trajectory before attempting to acquire biological information. This preliminary action ensures that biological information is only acquired when the finger is in the correct position and maintaining proper contact, thereby preventing detection errors caused by varying proximity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors the operating position of the user's finger and provides feedback by determining whether the finger has followed the predetermined trajectory. Based on this feedback, the system decides whether to acquire biological information, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If the finger is made proximate to the touchscreen panel for biological information detection, then authentication can be performed, but detection consistency deteriorates due to varying proximity states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoiddetection condition stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

Before acquiring biological information, the system performs a preliminary check to verify that the finger has moved along the predetermined trajectory. This preliminary action establishes stable detection conditions by ensuring the finger is in the correct position, thereby maintaining detection consistency while keeping the operation simple for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the detection parameter from simply detecting presence to verifying trajectory compliance. By requiring the finger to follow a predetermined trajectory, the system transforms the detection condition into a more stable and verifiable parameter, ensuring consistent detection results regardless of minor variations in finger proximity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If biological information is acquired continuously, then authentication speed is improved, but detection accuracy deteriorates due to inappropriate timing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication speedVSAvoidbiological information detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs a preliminary verification step by checking whether the finger has completed the predetermined trajectory before acquiring biological information. This preliminary action ensures that information is acquired only at the appropriate moment when the finger is in the correct position, maintaining high detection accuracy while preserving authentication speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous monitoring of the finger's position and trajectory, ensuring that the useful action of biological information acquisition occurs continuously but only when the predetermined conditions are met. This approach prevents wasted acquisition attempts at inappropriate moments while maintaining rapid authentication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
