Solution Overview

Problem

Current handheld devices require users to perform multiple manual operations to enable or disable operating authority, which is inconvenient and does not provide a good user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method that automatically enables or disables operating authority on handheld devices by detecting user holding actions via fingerprint or touch sensors, generating holding data, and performing verification to control the device's operating status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual operations are required to enable or disable operating authority, then security control is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecurity controlVSAvoiduser convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary fingerprint verification and holding action detection before enabling operating authority. By detecting whether the device is being held and verifying the user's identity in advance, the system automatically enables or disables authority without requiring manual menu navigation, thus maintaining security while improving convenience

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the user's own fingerprint and holding action as the authentication mechanism. The user's biometric data and device holding status serve as the key to automatically control operating authority, eliminating the need for separate manual authentication operations while ensuring security

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If multiple manual operations are required to manage operating authority, then authority control precision is maintained, but operation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthority control precisionVSAvoidoperation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of holding actions and fingerprint verification before authority changes. By detecting the user's intent to operate through holding action and verifying identity in advance, the system automatically manages authority transitions, reducing operation time while maintaining precise control through biometric authentication

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously detects holding actions and fingerprint data to provide real-time feedback on user presence and identity. This feedback mechanism enables automatic adjustment of operating authority based on current device holding status and verified user identity, reducing operation time while maintaining control precision

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
