Solution Overview

Problem

Existing authentication systems consume excessive power due to continuous monitoring for user movement, which is inefficient and may lead to unauthorized access.

Innovation Solution

Implementing an authentication system that only performs state determination after receiving a connection request signal, reducing unnecessary state checks and power consumption by optimizing sensor data acquisition and determination processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous monitoring for user movement is performed, then authentication security is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs state determination periodically or event-driven rather than continuously. The mobile terminal determines user presence state only when triggered by specific events (connection requests, authentication requests) rather than monitoring continuously, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal autonomously determines the user presence state using its own sensors and resources without requiring continuous external monitoring. The terminal itself performs the authentication logic and state determination, eliminating the need for persistent external surveillance while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If state determination is performed continuously, then unauthorized access is prevented, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunauthorized access preventionVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

State determination is performed periodically or on-demand rather than continuously. The system checks user presence state at specific intervals or when authentication events occur, maintaining security against unauthorized access while significantly reducing the power consumption associated with continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal preliminarily determines the user presence state before authentication operations are executed. By performing state determination in advance when needed (rather than continuously), the system prepares authentication data only when necessary, preventing unauthorized access while conserving power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If sensor data acquisition is optimized to reduce power consumption, then energy efficiency is improved, but authentication reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidauthentication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Sensor data acquisition is performed periodically or event-driven rather than continuously. The mobile terminal acquires sensor data only when authentication events occur or at predetermined intervals, maintaining authentication reliability by ensuring data is collected when needed while improving energy efficiency through reduced sampling frequency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of sensor data acquisition, such as sampling frequency and data collection intervals, based on authentication requirements. By dynamically adjusting acquisition parameters rather than using fixed continuous sampling, the system maintains sufficient data quality for reliable authentication while reducing overall power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An authentication control includes a connection authentication and an operation authentication for an authentication target device using a mobile terminal and a communication device that receives a signal from the mobile terminal toward the authentication target device. Information received by a reception unit in the mobile terminal and information detected by a state sensor for detecting a state of the mobile terminal are acquired. A connection response signal is transmitted from a transmission unit in the mobile terminal when the state of the mobile terminal satisfies a permission condition. A state determination for determining the state of the mobile terminal is performed after the reception unit receives the connection request signal.
