Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If common authentication manner is used for security verification, then security reliability is improved, but authentication time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity authentication reliabilityVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic authentication mode selection that adapts between simple and common authentication manners based on real-time conditions. The system determines whether to use simple authentication (faster) or common authentication (more secure) dynamically, allowing it to balance security requirements with time constraints, thus resolving the contradiction between security reliability and authentication time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the authentication parameter (authentication manner) from a fixed state to a variable state. By introducing multiple authentication modes (simple and common) and selecting appropriate modes based on conditions, the system can adjust the security level and time consumption parameters, thereby resolving the contradiction between high security reliability and low authentication time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If simple authentication manner is used, then authentication time is reduced, but security reliability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication timeVSAvoidsecurity authentication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between simple and common authentication modes based on determined conditions. When simple authentication is used to reduce time, the system ensures security through conditional logic and fallback mechanisms, thus maintaining reliability while benefiting from reduced authentication time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The authentication process is segmented into two distinct modes (simple and common), each suitable for different scenarios. This segmentation allows the system to choose the appropriate level of security and time investment based on specific conditions, resolving the contradiction between speed and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If multiple authentication technologies are implemented, then security coverage is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity coverageVSAvoidauthentication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication system is segmented into two distinct authentication manners (simple and common), each with its own protocol and verification steps. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive security coverage while maintaining clear, manageable structure, thus reducing perceived complexity despite multiple authentication technologies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects which authentication technology to apply based on conditions, rather than always executing all authentication protocols. This dynamic selection reduces the effective complexity experienced during operation, while maintaining comprehensive security coverage when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
