Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional identity authentication systems that rely solely on physiological characteristics, such as fingerprints or irises, are vulnerable to theft and imitation, making them unreliable for preventing identity theft.

Innovation Solution

A forged-physiological-characteristic filtering device that includes a communication circuit, a physiological characteristic scanning circuit, a control circuit, and a secure circuit, which acquires and compares multiple physiological characteristics and motion records, as well as calculates and verifies time intervals to differentiate between valid and unverified users, ensuring secure authentication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional identity authentication only compares physiological characteristics, then the authentication process is simple and fast, but it becomes vulnerable to identity theft and spoofing attacks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidauthentication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the authentication verification into multiple independent components: physiological characteristic comparison, motion record analysis, and time interval verification. Each component processes a specific aspect of user behavior, allowing the system to comprehensively authenticate identity while maintaining modular architecture that manages complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds temporal and motion dimensions to traditional physiological characteristic authentication. By incorporating time intervals between scans and motion patterns during scanning, the system transforms static physiological data into dynamic multi-dimensional authentication evidence, significantly improving reliability against spoofing attacks.

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple physiological characteristics and motion records are scanned and compared, then authentication accuracy improves, but the scanning time and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing time interval thresholds and motion record criteria during system setup. During actual authentication, the system only needs to verify whether measured values fall within predetermined ranges, significantly reducing real-time processing complexity while maintaining high authentication accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the user's own natural behavior patterns (normal time intervals between authentication attempts and characteristic motion patterns during scanning) as authentication criteria. This self-service approach leverages inherent user behavior without requiring external reference data or complex comparison algorithms, improving accuracy while minimizing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If time interval verification is added to authenticate user identity, then security against spoofing improves, but the authentication process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-spoofing securityVSAvoidverification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces time interval records as an intermediary verification layer between physiological characteristic scanning and final authentication decision. This intermediary component translates complex temporal analysis into simple threshold comparisons, improving anti-spoofing security while keeping the verification process manageable through standardized comparison operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
