Solution Overview

Problem

Existing personal identification systems using images of identification cards lack effective methods to prevent unauthorized use and ensure the authenticity of the card holder.

Innovation Solution

A control apparatus and method that acquires an image of an identification card and a user's image while displaying the card's image on a screen, allowing the user to capture their own image while viewing the card, thereby reducing unauthorized use through psychological resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a moving image capturing the identification card is generated with instructions to capture front or back surface, then the identification card image can be acquired, but the system complexity increases and user operation becomes more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the identification card image display and user face image capture into a single integrated screen interface. The control apparatus displays the identification card image on the screen while simultaneously capturing the user's face image through the camera, eliminating the need for separate capture instructions and multiple device operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The screen serves multiple functions: displaying the identification card image for verification and simultaneously serving as the interface for capturing the user's face image. This multi-functional approach reduces system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require separate components and instructions.

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

2Reliability

If the identification card image is displayed on screen during user image capture, then unauthorized use is reduced through psychological resistance, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the security verification function (displaying identification card image) with the biometric capture function (user face image capture) into a single integrated process. The control apparatus simultaneously performs both functions using the same screen and camera infrastructure, achieving enhanced security without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
