Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple devices are used for various fraud confirmation technologies, then the accuracy of fraud detection is improved, but the time and labor required for confirmation work increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fraud confirmation technologies (visible light inspection, infrared inspection, ultraviolet inspection) into a single integrated device. The reading unit includes multiple light sources emitting different wavelengths and corresponding imaging sensors, allowing simultaneous execution of various fraud confirmation techniques without requiring multiple separate devices, thereby reducing confirmation time while maintaining detection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The fraud confirmation device is designed with multi-functionality to perform various types of fraud detection using different wavelengths of light. The device can inspect different types of certificates and documents (financial instruments, identification documents, certificates) using the same apparatus, making it a universal solution that replaces multiple specialized devices and reduces the time required for confirmation work
2Reliability
If multiple devices are used for various fraud confirmation technologies, then the reliability of fraud detection is improved, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple fraud confirmation functions are merged into a single integrated device with a unified operation interface. The control unit coordinates multiple light sources and imaging sensors, allowing users to perform comprehensive fraud inspection through a single operation rather than managing multiple separate devices, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining high detection reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs automated fraud confirmation processing through its control unit, which automatically coordinates the multiple light sources and imaging sensors. The system can autonomously execute inspection routines and process images, reducing the need for manual operation complexity while maintaining high reliability in fraud detection
