Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If in-person authentication is required, then security is improved, but convenience and time efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of in-person physical presence with a telecommunication-based system using KLHA sensors to detect brain activity signals. The sensor captures neural responses to images transmitted via communication networks, substituting physical authentication with remote physiological measurement while maintaining security through unique brain activity patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a telecommunication device with KLHA sensor as an intermediary between the authentication authority and the user. This intermediary captures brain activity signals remotely and transmits them to the authority, eliminating the need for direct physical presence while ensuring secure authentication through physiological verification.
2Reliability
If in-person authentication is required, then authentication security is improved, but operational efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical requirement of physical presence with electronic transmission of brain activity signals. The KLHA sensor captures neural responses and transmits them through telecommunication networks, allowing authentication authorities to verify identities remotely without the inefficiencies of in-person appointments and physical document verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal authentication system that can be deployed across various applications and locations. The telecommunication device with KLHA sensor serves multiple functions including capturing brain activity, transmitting data, and enabling authentication without requiring specialized in-person verification infrastructure at each authentication point.
3Reliability
If brain activity signals are used for authentication, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service authentication where the user's own brain activity signals serve as the authentication credential. The KLHA sensor on the user's telecommunication device captures their unique neural responses to images, eliminating the need for complex centralized biometric databases or additional authentication hardware at authentication points.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the authentication system into two components: a mobile telecommunication device with KLHA sensor for capturing brain activity signals, and a server for verifying the signals. This segmentation allows the complex sensor technology to remain in the user's existing device while the verification logic resides on the authentication authority's server, distributing system complexity.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for authenticating a person (224). The method comprises: - registration (102) of the person with a server application (205), wherein the registration includes capturing a known image (230) of the person within secure premises (262); - reception (104) of the at least one known image from the server application by a client application (240) instantiated on a portable telecommunications device (201) with a KLHA sensor; - generation (106) of a specification (234) of a sequence of known images and foreign images (208-214) by an authentication module (204); - display (108) of several images on a display (216) of the telecommunications device (201) by the client application outside the secure premises, wherein the displayed images comprise a sequence of one or more known images and one or more foreign images according to the specification;- while the multiple images of the person are displayed, the KLHA sensor (218) captures (110) first (708, 712, 902, 952) and second (704, 706, 710, 904, 954) brain activity signals triggered in the individual by viewing the images; - authenticates (112) the individual as a function of the similarity of the captured first and second brain activity signals, taking into account the image sequence specification provided by the authentication module; and - outputs (114) an authentication result.
