Solution Overview

Problem

Existing certification systems lack the capability to accurately and securely verify the state of a user, particularly in real-time scenarios, which can lead to fraudulent activities and compromised security.

Innovation Solution

A certification system comprising a state detection apparatus, a user identification apparatus, and a certification apparatus that communicate via a network to detect and verify the state of a user based on biometric and other authentication methods, issuing a certificate of permission if the user's state meets predetermined conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a certification system uses basic authentication methods, then the system is simple to operate, but the system is vulnerable to fraudulent activities and security compromises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity verification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the certification process into distinct functional modules: a state detection apparatus for collecting biometric data, a user identification apparatus for authentication, and a certification apparatus for issuing certificates. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall security verification accuracy while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a certification apparatus as an intermediary between the state detection apparatus and the user identification apparatus. This intermediary coordinates the interaction between different components, manages the certification process, and ensures secure verification by mediating data flow and validation between modules, thereby enhancing reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the system performs real-time state detection and verification, then fraudulent processing is prevented, but the processing time and system resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud prevention capabilityVSAvoidverification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary state detection and data collection before the actual certification decision is made. The state detection apparatus continuously monitors and stores user state information in advance, so that when verification is needed, the data is already prepared and available, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining fraud prevention capability through pre-collected biometric data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system collects comprehensive user state information, then accurate judgment of user permissions is achieved, but the amount of data to be processed and stored increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser state verification accuracyVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential and relevant state information needed for certification decisions from the comprehensive user data collected by the state detection apparatus. Rather than processing all available data, the certification apparatus identifies and utilizes specific biometric parameters and state indicators that are critical for fraud prevention and permission judgment, thereby maintaining measurement precision while reducing data volume for processing and storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Solution: A certification system includes: an obtainment unit which obtains a result of identification of a user performed based on user information regarding the user and obtains state information indicating a specific state of the user from a state detection apparatus which detects the specific state of the user; and a certification unit which certifies that a state of the user satisfies a predetermined condition, based on the result of the identification of the user and on the state information. The obtainment unit obtains, from a calibration unit which executes calibration of the state detection apparatus, management information for the state detection apparatus. The certification unit certifies that the state of the user satisfies the predetermined condition, based further on the management information.
