Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional graphical authentication systems are cumbersome, require users to remember selected points in a picture, and fail to recognize real-time environmental objects or relate them accurately, leading to reduced system accuracy and erroneous results.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that uses image acquisition and analysis to generate a unique security proof based on a user's environment, featuring a pair of keys generated from environmental images, which are stored and compared in real-time to verify secure access, incorporating computer vision techniques and artificial intelligence for feature extraction and comparison.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional graphical authentication systems require users to select and remember specific points in a picture, then security verification is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates and operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity verificationVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures images of the user's environment and extracts features without requiring user selection or input. The environment itself serves as the authentication credential, eliminating the need for users to remember specific points while maintaining security verification through automated feature extraction and comparison.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If conventional systems use static picture-based authentication, then security proof is generated, but real-time environmental recognition capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity proof generationVSAvoidreal-time environmental recognition
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static picture-based authentication to dynamic real-time environmental recognition. Images are captured and processed in real-time, allowing the security proof to be generated based on the current environment rather than a predetermined static image, thereby achieving both security verification and real-time adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If conventional systems map identified objects with real-time environment scenes, then object recognition is performed, but mapping accuracy deteriorates due to erroneous results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject recognitionVSAvoidmapping accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system captures real-time images of the environment, extracts features, compares them with stored features, and generates a confidence score based on the similarity match. This feedback mechanism ensures accurate mapping by continuously verifying environmental features against the stored security proof, eliminating erroneous results through systematic comparison and validation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
