Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile terminal security methods, such as username and password combinations, are cumbersome and insecure, as they often lead to forgotten credentials and inadequate protection against unauthorized access.

Innovation Solution

Implementing iris recognition technology within mobile terminals to collect and store unique iris data, which is used for both screen unlocking and application login, eliminating the need for manual entry of credentials and enhancing security through the uniqueness of iris features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If username and password are used for application login, then application access is granted, but security is compromised and user experience becomes cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidlogin convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges screen unlocking and application login into a single iris recognition process. The iris authentication result simultaneously controls both screen unlock state and application login state, eliminating the need for separate username/password input and improving both security and convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The iris recognition system serves multiple functions: it acts as both the screen unlock credential and the application login credential. This multi-functional approach replaces traditional separate authentication mechanisms with a single biometric system that handles multiple security requirements

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

2Ease of operation

If iris recognition is implemented for both screen unlock and application login, then security is enhanced and operation is simplified, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary binding between iris information and application account information in advance. This pre-configured association enables the authentication module to automatically match iris recognition results with corresponding applications without requiring complex real-time decision logic, thus simplifying the overall system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The authentication system automatically manages the entire login process including iris scanning, comparison, account matching, and application launching without user intervention. The system self-services the authentication workflow, reducing the need for complex user interface elements and manual authentication steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A processing method and system for identity authentication with a mobile terminal based on iris recognition is provided. The iris characteristic data of the user is encapsulated as iris identification data, which is further established as a unique identifier of the user for identity authentication. The mobile terminal compares the scanned iris characteristic data of the current user against the prestored iris identification data. When the iris characteristic data of the current user is in accordance with the prestored iris identification data, the mobile terminal is unlocked. Iris recognition is employed to verify the identity of the user, so as to control unlock the mobile terminal and log into the application.
