Innovation Solution

A human-machine interface guidance/indication method for iris recognition using a mobile terminal with a visible light LED, display screen, and an iris recognition imaging module, featuring a near-infrared LED lighting source, optical filter, and optical imaging lens, which provides mirrored visual feedback and imaging feedback to align the optical axes and adjust pixel offsets and rotation angles for optimal image capture and display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If iris recognition is implemented on mobile terminals, then security performance is improved, but user experience and convenience deteriorate due to lack of effective human-machine interface guidance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity performanceVSAvoiduser experience and convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements real-time visual feedback mechanisms including a visible light LED that provides mirrored visual feedback and a display screen that shows imaging feedback of the captured image. This allows users to see their own reflection and the captured image in real-time, guiding them to adjust their position and orientation to achieve optimal alignment with the optical axis, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining security performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary elements including a visible light LED that acts as a mediator between the near-infrared imaging system and the user's visual system. The LED reflects visible light to create a mirrored image that users can see, serving as an intermediary guide without interfering with the near-infrared iris capture process. This mediator enables users to understand system status and adjust their position conveniently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If optical axis alignment is optimized for direct view, then recognition rate is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional optical components and alignment mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition rateVSAvoidoptical components and alignment mechanisms
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated optical system. The visible light LED serves both as a guidance indicator and as a component that reflects light to create the mirrored visual feedback. The display screen simultaneously shows both the mirrored visual feedback and the imaging feedback of the captured image. This merging reduces device complexity while maintaining optimal optical axis alignment for high recognition rate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The visible light LED performs multiple functions: it provides visible light for the user to see the mirrored feedback, it reflects light to create the visual guide, and it works in conjunction with the near-infrared LED to ensure proper lighting conditions. The display screen also serves multiple purposes by showing both guidance information and capture status. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining measurement precision

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