Solution Overview

Problem

Current authentication methods, such as face and voice recognition, are vulnerable to unauthorized access due to the use of pre-recorded data, where lowering the facial feature matching threshold increases the risk of false verification and raising it increases the failure rate for authorized users, and voice recognition is susceptible to SIM card exchange attacks.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that provide a random verification code to users, which they must read aloud and match with dynamic facial pictures and audio data, preventing unauthorized access by distinguishing between live and pre-recorded data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the threshold for matching facial features is lowered to improve the pass rate of authorized persons, then the authentication acceptance rate increases, but the risk of verification by unauthorized persons also increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication acceptance rateVSAvoidrisk of verification by unauthorized persons
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static facial recognition system to a dynamic one that requires real-time interaction. The system captures multiple facial images during the authentication process and analyzes temporal changes, making it impossible to use pre-recorded photos. This dynamic approach maintains high acceptance for authorized users while rejecting unauthorized attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic action by requiring the user to perform repeated facial expressions or movements during authentication. The system captures a sequence of facial images at different time points, verifying that the changes between them are consistent with natural human physiology. This periodic verification process prevents use of static pre-recorded data while maintaining user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the threshold for matching facial features is increased to reduce the pass rate of unauthorized persons, then the security improves, but the failure rate of face recognition for authorized persons also increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepass rate of unauthorized personsVSAvoidfailure rate for authorized persons
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By requiring dynamic facial movements and capturing multiple images over time, the system creates a more robust verification process. This dynamic approach provides more data points for comparison, enabling the system to maintain high security thresholds while still achieving high acceptance rates for authorized users through accumulated evidence from multiple frames.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback by analyzing the temporal consistency of facial changes across multiple captured images. It compares the sequence of facial expressions against expected physiological patterns, providing continuous verification feedback. This allows the system to maintain strict security criteria while accommodating natural variations in authorized users' appearances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If voice recognition is used for authentication, then the convenience of users improves, but the system becomes vulnerable to SIM card exchange attacks and pre-recorded audio

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of usersVSAvoidvulnerability to attacks
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics to voice authentication by requiring real-time speech rather than accepting pre-recorded audio. The system analyzes temporal characteristics of speech, including pitch variation, speech rate, and articulation patterns that change naturally over time. This dynamic verification maintains user convenience while preventing use of recorded audio attacks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges facial recognition and voice recognition into a unified authentication system. By combining these two biometric modalities, the system achieves both convenience (through voice input) and security (through multi-factor verification). The combination of dynamic facial movements and real-time speech analysis creates a robust authentication process resistant to both photo and audio attacks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
