Mobile Terminal Access Authentication Using Positional Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional access authentication systems require users to carry multiple ID cards and manually select the correct card for authentication, which is inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal equipped with a smart card, tag reader, communication module, and positional data obtaining device that communicates with an access authentication system, allowing access authentication through RF signals by activating and providing access authentication data associated with the user's current position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users carry multiple ID cards for different locations, then access authentication can be performed at various places, but the user experiences inconvenience in carrying and selecting the correct card
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple ID card functions into a single mobile terminal. The controller stores multiple access authentication data sets corresponding to different locations and automatically selects the appropriate one based on current positional data, eliminating the need to carry multiple physical cards while maintaining access authentication capability at various locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic card selection without user intervention. The controller obtains current positional data, automatically matches it with stored access authentication data, and selects the correct authentication data set without requiring the user to manually choose between multiple cards.
2Reliability
If manual card selection is required, then the user can choose the correct card, but the authentication process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple access authentication data sets in the controller, each associated with specific positional data. When authentication is needed, the controller automatically retrieves the pre-stored data matching the current location, eliminating the time required for manual card selection while ensuring correct authentication data is used.
3Reliability
If physical ID cards are used, then authentication data can be stored securely, but the user must always carry the card and contact it to the reader
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical card-reader contact system with wireless communication. The mobile terminal's communication module transmits authentication data wirelessly to the reader in response to an RF signal, eliminating the need for physical card carrying and contact while maintaining secure authentication data storage in the controller.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital copy of multiple ID card authentication data sets and stores them in the mobile terminal's controller. This digital copy enables the terminal to function as multiple cards simultaneously, allowing wireless transmission of the appropriate authentication data without requiring the physical card itself.
