Solution Overview

Problem

Existing personal authentication systems, such as head-mounted displays, fail to efficiently associate and display different passwords and IDs for various cards and services due to lack of consideration for individual user-specific information.

Innovation Solution

A personal information display device with a glasses-shaped form factor captures iris information and recognizes card or service details to associate and display relevant passwords or IDs, using iris authentication and image recognition to facilitate secure and user-friendly password management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If password management software is used to display various passwords, then password security is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring master password input and service selection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepassword securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs password management functions without requiring user intervention for master password input or service selection. The wearable device autonomously captures authentication information, recognizes cards and services, and displays relevant passwords, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring complex user interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual password input and selection operations with automated image recognition and optical character recognition systems. The wearable device uses cameras to capture card and service information, then automatically processes and displays the corresponding passwords, substituting mechanical user actions with automated optical and computational systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If manual password recording in memo pads is used, then ease of operation is improved, but security deteriorates due to potential exposure of recorded passwords

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepassword management convenienceVSAvoidpassword security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The wearable device acts as an intermediary between the user and password information. Instead of directly exposing passwords through memo pads or requiring complex software authentication, the device captures authentication information from cards and services, processes it securely, and displays only the relevant password in the user's field of view, mediating the interaction to maintain both convenience and security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system displays password information locally and specifically in the user's field of view through the wearable device's display unit. Rather than providing universal access to all passwords or requiring system-wide authentication, the password is displayed only where the user needs it and only when the device detects the relevant card or service in the user's vicinity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If head-mounted display authentication is used, then security is improved through biometric verification, but adaptability deteriorates by not considering association between personal information and various cards/services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidservice association capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The wearable device performs multiple functions: it captures authentication information from various cards (credit cards, ID cards, driver's licenses), recognizes different types of services (ATM, online banking, e-commerce), and displays corresponding passwords for each. This multi-functional approach allows a single authentication system to adapt to numerous different cards and services without requiring separate systems for each

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Reliability

If regular password changes are required for security, then password security is improved, but loss of time increases due to frequent re-recording requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepassword securityVSAvoidpassword management time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary capture and recognition of authentication information from cards during registration. When a user needs to change passwords or access services, the device has already stored the associated authentication data, allowing rapid password generation and display without requiring time-consuming re-input or re-recording of card information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A personal information display device can recognize card information or service information in advance so that passwords required for various cards or services can be immediately recognized and can display a password or an ID associated with the information after authenticating the individual. In order to achieve this, a processing method of a personal information display device having a glasses-shaped display unit includes: capturing an iris of an individual wearing the personal information display device and acquiring iris information from the captured iris; capturing information of various cards or various services and acquiring recognition information of the various cards or the various services from the captured information of the various cards or the various services; and registering personal information from the iris information and registering an ID or a password associated with the recognition information of the various cards or the various services.
