Solution Overview

Problem

Existing non-contact IC card programmable read-write devices are limited in supporting multi-applications and on-line business transactions, as they can only configure one set of application parameters and do not support multiple interactions with terminals for on-line processing.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for non-contact security information interaction that allows parameter configuration for multiple applications, enabling the non-contact IC card programmable read-write device to interact with terminals and servers, supporting both off-line and on-line transactions by using processing flow identification numbers for business logic judgment and data processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the non-contact IC card programmable read-write device configures one set of application parameters for a single business application, then the device can process that specific application, but it cannot support multiple applications including on-line based applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-application supportVSAvoidparameter configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the parameter configuration into multiple independent parameter sets, each corresponding to a different application type. The terminal can select and activate specific parameter sets based on the required application, enabling multi-application support while maintaining clear separation and management of different configuration parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The read-write device is designed with universal parameter configuration capabilities that allow it to adapt to multiple different applications. By supporting configurable parameter sets for both off-line and on-line applications, the device achieves multi-functionality without requiring separate dedicated devices for each application type

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

2Productivity

If the read-write device performs serial port communication with the terminal, then the device structure remains simple, but the transaction speed becomes slower

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction speedVSAvoidcommunication protocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication protocol is made dynamic by allowing the terminal and read-write device to negotiate and switch between different communication modes. The system can adaptively select between serial port communication and more efficient communication protocols based on the specific transaction requirements, thereby improving transaction speed while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the programmable read-write device processes off-line transactions with integrated business logic, then the transaction can be completed independently, but the device cannot interact with the terminal multiple times for on-line processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveon-line business processing capabilityVSAvoidinteraction flexibility with terminal
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the read-write device with appropriate parameter sets and establishing communication protocols before the actual transaction. This preliminary setup enables the read-write device to flexibly interact with the terminal multiple times during on-line processing, as the necessary communication frameworks are already in place

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
