Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional encryption and display techniques are used, then the system is simple to implement, but the security and variety of randomized encoded outputs are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic polychrome lattice images that change over time through multiple iterations, where the encoded output is not static but evolves with each display cycle. This dynamic nature enhances security by preventing static analysis and capture, while the system manages complexity through algorithmic generation rather than physical complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from conventional 1D or 2D display to a multi-dimensional encoding space by incorporating color (polychrome), spatial lattice structure, and temporal iteration. This dimensional expansion creates vastly more potential encoded outputs, enhancing security without requiring proportionally more physical resources

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

Solution Approach 3:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including color values, lattice positions, iteration counts, and encoding algorithms. By varying these parameters dynamically, the system generates unique encoded outputs for each authentication attempt, significantly enhancing security while managing complexity through software-based parameter control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If a fixed encoding structure is used, then the system is easier to decode, but the security and randomness are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiddecoding difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The encoding structure is made dynamic through multiple iterations where the lattice configuration, colors, and patterns change with each iteration. This prevents fixed-pattern analysis by attackers while the scanning tool can track and analyze the dynamic changes to authenticate the code

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the lattice image have different properties and encoding densities. The scanning tool focuses on specific local patterns and their evolution across iterations, rather than requiring analysis of the entire image at once. This localized approach maintains ease of operation for authorized tools while preserving security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If multiple iterations of randomized encoded outputs are provided, then the security is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidgeneration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates multiple iterations of encoded outputs in a periodic sequence, where each iteration follows a predictable temporal pattern but maintains randomness in its encoded content. This periodic structure allows the scanning tool to anticipate timing and pattern, simplifying decoding while the random content within each iteration maintains high security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of creating entirely new complex encoding logic for each iteration, the system uses algorithmic copying and transformation of base patterns. Each iteration is generated by applying transformations to previous iterations or base templates, reducing generation complexity while maintaining output diversity and security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
