Color Pattern Verification for Intuitive User Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic products rely on account and password verification mechanisms, which are not intuitive, convenient, or easy to remember, posing a challenge for industries seeking to enhance user operation and memory facilitation.
Innovation Solution
A verification method and computer system that uses a coloring operation on an outline pattern displayed on a screen, where users generate and store a colored outline pattern during an encryption event and later verify it during a separate event, triggering pass or fail events based on matching color information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If account and password verification mechanisms are used, then security is maintained, but ease of operation and ease of memory are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by using different colors to represent different verification states. The display shows a pattern where users can color-specific regions to verify their identity. This visual approach replaces text-based passwords with color-based interaction, making the verification process more intuitive and easier to remember while maintaining security through the complexity of the coloring pattern.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical/text-based verification system with a visual/color-based system. Instead of typing or recalling text passwords, users interact with the display by coloring regions, transforming the verification mechanism from a textual/cognitive task to a visual/motor task that is more intuitive and easier to operate.
2Ease of operation
If account and password verification mechanisms are used, then security is maintained, but ease of memory is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color changes to enhance ease of memory by replacing abstract text passwords with concrete visual color patterns. Users can more easily remember and recall color information compared to text passwords, as colors are more intuitive and easier to visualize. The pattern-based approach with color coding makes the verification mechanism more memorable while maintaining security through the specific arrangement and combination of colored regions.
3Ease of operation
If conventional verification mechanisms are used, then system complexity is low, but user interaction intuitiveness is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional text-based verification with a visual color-based interaction system. This substitution enhances user interaction intuitiveness by using visual cues and color coding that are more naturally understood by users, making the verification process more intuitive and user-friendly while the underlying system complexity remains manageable through software-based pattern recognition.

AI summary
A verification method including a set flow and the identification flow is provided. The set flow includes: displaying an original outline pattern; executing a coloring operation on the original outline pattern in response to a user encryption coloring event to generate and display a colored outline pattern; storing the colored outline pattern. The identification flow includes: displaying an original outline pattern; executing a coloring operation on the original outline pattern in response to a user verification coloring event to generate and display a to-be identified colored outline pattern; determining whether the to-be identified colored outline pattern is equal to the colored outline pattern; if yes, triggering the verification pass event; if not, triggering the verification fail event.
