Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional authentication methods (passwords, biometrics) are used, then authentication can be performed, but security is compromised due to susceptibility to hacking and forgery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of the makeup application technique footprint and stores it as a reference signature. During authentication, the system compares the current makeup footprint against the stored copy to verify identity. This copying approach enables secure authentication without requiring physical biometric samples to be permanently stored, reducing security risks while maintaining reliable identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the physical makeup application technique into a digital parameter representation (footprint signature). By converting the physical act of makeup application into digital data parameters (pattern, pressure, movement轨迹), the system enables secure storage and comparison without exposing physical biometric traits, thereby improving security while maintaining authentication reliability.
2Reliability
If makeup application technique authentication is implemented, then security is enhanced through unique individual signatures, but device complexity increases due to image capture and analysis requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the existing image capturing device serve multiple functions: it not only captures images for makeup analysis but also serves as the authentication trigger and verification mechanism. The same device that applies makeup (or captures the application process) is used for authentication, eliminating the need for separate complex authentication hardware and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining enhanced security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the makeup application process itself as the authentication mechanism. The act of applying makeup (or the resulting footprint) automatically provides the authentication data without requiring separate authentication steps or additional user actions. This self-service approach simplifies the user experience while the automated analysis handles the complexity of security verification.
3Reliability
If makeup application footprints are captured and analyzed, then individualized authentication is achieved, but loss of time occurs during authentication process
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by capturing and storing the makeup application technique footprint in advance, creating a reference signature before the actual authentication is needed. This pre-processing of authentication data allows for rapid comparison during actual authentication events, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining high individualization accuracy through the stored reference patterns.

AI summary
Techniques are disclosed for authenticating a person based on the person's individual makeup application techniques (MATs) for secured access purposes. As combinations of MATs are highly individualized and may even be unique between different people, the disclosed techniques leverage MAT signatures as an authentication factor. For example, various makeup application technique footprints produced by corresponding MATs which were utilized to apply makeup to a subject person may be extracted from a captured image in which the subject person is depicted. One or more combinations of the extracted footprints may be compared to a MAT signature registry to thereby authorize the identity of the subject person or otherwise deny authorization of the subject person. MAT-based authentication may be combined with other authentication factors (such as biometric identification techniques) to provide increased levels of security.
