Solution Overview
Problem
Current chip card designs face vulnerabilities in security due to separate components for the chip and display elements, which can be manipulated, and the connection systems are prone to failures and increased assembly complexity, compromising the integrity of electronic documents like ID cards and payment systems.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a chip card module that combines the chip, wiring structure, and lighting device as a single, encapsulated unit, where the lighting device is part of the chip card module, reducing access points and assembly complexity, and using a booster antenna for contactless communication to enhance security and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the chip and display element are separate components, then the display function can be provided, but the connection system becomes a potential point of attack for manipulation and increases assembly effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the display element directly into the chip structure, eliminating separate connection interfaces. The display pixels are formed within the chip substrate itself, creating a unified structure that removes the vulnerable connection system while maintaining the display function.
Solution Approach 2:
The display element is nested within the chip structure, with display pixels formed in the chip substrate. This nested integration allows the display function to be embedded within the chip itself, eliminating external connections and reducing assembly complexity.
2Ease of operation
If separate connection system is used between chip and display element, then the display can be connected, but the connection system increases assembly effort and carries risk of system failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display element with the chip structure, eliminating the need for separate connection systems. The display pixels are integrated within the chip substrate, removing the need for additional assembly steps and connection components.
3Ease of operation
If separate connection system is used between chip and display element, then the display can be connected, but cable or line breaks in the connection system can cause overall system failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the display element directly into the chip substrate, eliminating cable or line connections. This merger removes the vulnerability to connection failures while maintaining the display function through integrated pixel structures within the chip.
