Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality systems face security risks due to breaches in augmented reality and internet interactions, leading to potential unauthorized transactions and data breaches during product purchases.

Innovation Solution

A computer-based system generates a temporary identity token and a unique-universal identifier using multi-factor authentication, linking it with a security module to authenticate activities and exchange data in real-time, utilizing machine learning algorithms for enhanced security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multi-factor authentication and temporary identity tokens are implemented, then security reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication process is segmented into multiple independent factors (knowledge-based questions, possession-based tokens, biometric data) that can be evaluated separately. Each factor contributes to the overall security assessment without requiring all factors to be processed simultaneously, reducing the complexity burden on any single system component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A security module acts as an intermediary between the user authentication process and the main system operations. This module handles the complex authentication logic, token generation, and verification, isolating the complexity from the core system while maintaining high security reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic authentication steps are generated, then adaptability to security threats is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to security threatsVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication process dynamically adapts to user behavior patterns and security threats in real-time. The system generates authentication steps based on the current context, user history, and detected risk levels, allowing flexible adjustment of security measures without requiring excessive processing time for static protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Security rules and authentication workflows are pre-configured and cached, allowing the system to quickly select and execute appropriate authentication steps without performing complex calculations during the actual authentication process. This preliminary preparation reduces real-time processing time while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If real-time data exchange is enabled, then productivity is improved, but security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoidsecurity risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

An encrypted communication channel acts as an intermediary between the user device and external systems during data exchange. This channel securely transports sensitive information while allowing real-time communication, preventing direct exposure of data to potential threats while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors authentication status and security conditions during data exchange, providing feedback to adjust security measures dynamically. When anomalies are detected, the system can pause or modify data transmission without completely blocking productivity, balancing security and efficiency through iterative feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
