Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If current methods for detecting Bluetooth security threats are used, then the detection process is simple, but the detection efficiency and precision are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system segments the Bluetooth packet analysis into multiple independent modules: packet collection module, information extraction module, comparison module, and risk calculation module. Each module processes specific aspects of packet data independently, improving precision while maintaining manageable system complexity through functional decomposition.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from traditional single-parameter detection to multi-dimensional analysis by examining multiple packet attributes simultaneously (device name, MAC address, connection state, service information). This dimensional expansion enables precise detection of security threats that would be invisible to single-metric approaches.
2Measurement precision
If Bluetooth packets from multiple devices are collected and compared, then security threat detection precision improves, but the time required for analysis increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining security threat patterns and risk calculation rules before actual detection occurs. The comparison module uses pre-established criteria to evaluate packet similarities, and the risk calculation module applies pre-computed algorithms, significantly reducing real-time analysis time while maintaining high precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system skips unnecessary analysis steps by directly comparing only the most critical packet information (device name, MAC address, connection state) when security threats are detected, rather than performing comprehensive analysis of all packet fields. This selective deep-dive approach maintains precision while reducing overall analysis time.
3Reliability
If device name duplication packets are identified, then security risk detection improves, but false positive rates may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple detection criteria into a unified risk assessment framework. Instead of relying on single indicator (device name duplication), the system combines multiple packet attributes (MAC address, connection state, service information) with risk calculation algorithms, creating a comprehensive evaluation that reduces false positives while maintaining high reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The risk calculation module incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously refine detection accuracy. By analyzing the context and patterns of detected duplications and adjusting risk assessments based on additional packet information, the system reduces false positives and improves overall detection accuracy over time.

AI summary
A Bluetooth security threat detection method according to an embodiment includes: a step of collecting Bluetooth packets transmitted from devices; a searching step of comparing information included in Bluetooth packets collected at the same time period from among the collected Bluetooth packets, and finding Bluetooth packets (device name duplication Bluetooth packets) having a same device name; and a step of calculating an index (degree of risk) indicating a degree of risk of a risky device, with respect to each of the devices which transmit the Bluetooth packets, based on a result of the searching step.
