Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional static image or dynamic image detection methods are used, then the detection process is simple, but the recognition accuracy deteriorates due to video compression degradation and inability to detect eye state changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection system segments the video into individual frames and further segments each frame to extract eye regions specifically. This segmentation allows the system to focus computational resources on the most discriminative features (eye states) rather than processing the entire video frame, thereby improving recognition accuracy while managing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from static 2D image analysis to temporal sequence analysis by processing video frames as time-series data. By adding the time dimension and analyzing eye state transitions across multiple frames, the system captures dynamic characteristics that static images cannot detect, significantly improving recognition accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If more sophisticated recognition methods are used to approach 100% recognition accuracy, then the recognition accuracy improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the eye regions from video frames, isolating the most discriminative features for deepfake detection. By extracting and focusing solely on eye state changes rather than analyzing entire facial images or full video content, the system achieves high recognition accuracy while reducing computational burden and processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by focusing detection efforts only on the eye region rather than the entire face or video. This selective approach uses sufficient computational resources to achieve high accuracy on the critical eye state analysis without the excessive processing time that would result from analyzing all video content in detail

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If conventional image detection methods are used, then the processing speed is fast, but the ability to detect flaws between frames deteriorates due to lack of time continuity analysis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddetection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains continuity of useful action by analyzing eye state changes across continuous video frames rather than treating each frame independently. This temporal continuity analysis allows the system to detect subtle flaws and inconsistencies in eye behavior that span multiple frames, improving detection reliability while maintaining efficient processing through focused feature extraction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
