Solution Overview

Problem

Cloud desktop authentication relies solely on account information and login passwords, resulting in poor security and inconvenient information input, especially in cloud computing environments where traditional security methods are inadequate.

Innovation Solution

A device and method that extracts signal features from brainwave signals to authenticate users, comparing these features with pre-stored samples in a feature library to retrieve account information and passwords, and responds to user requests, enhancing security and convenience by utilizing brainwave-based authentication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional account information and password authentication is used, then the authentication process is simple to implement, but the security is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidauthentication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/password-based authentication with brainwave signal-based authentication. The brainwave detection device captures neural signals, and the authentication unit compares these signals against stored templates to verify user identity, eliminating the need for passwords while enhancing security through biological signal recognition

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a brainwave signal as an intermediary between the user and the authentication system. Instead of directly inputting passwords, the user's brainwave patterns serve as the medium for authentication, with the detection device and comparison unit acting as intermediaries to process and verify these signals

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If traditional password input method is used, then the authentication process is straightforward, but the convenience is poor due to information input requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication convenienceVSAvoidinformation input time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables self-service authentication where the system automatically captures and processes brainwave signals without requiring manual input from the user. The brainwave detection device continuously monitors neural signals, and the authentication unit automatically performs pattern matching, eliminating the need for users to type passwords or provide other information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-storing brainwave signal templates during a registration phase. During actual authentication, the system only needs to capture and compare current signals against these pre-stored templates, significantly reducing the time and effort required for the authentication process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A device and method for user authentication. The device for authentication includes an extraction unit configured to extract a signal feature of a brainwave signal of a user to be authenticated and a comparison unit configured to compare the signal feature with a signal feature sample pre-stored in a feature library on an individual basis. When there a signal feature sample is matched with the signal feature, the device retrieves account information and a password of the user according to the matched signal feature sample. The device for authentication further includes a response unit configured to respond to a request of the user according to the account information and the password. The present disclosure can improve the security and convenience of user authentication.
