Name Card Holder with Multi-Interface FIDO2 Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current FIDO2 hardware keys are inconvenient due to their shape and size, prone to being forgotten or lost, and lack differentiation from built-in fingerprint authentication, with limited interface compatibility.
Innovation Solution
An identity indication apparatus combining a hardware key with a name card holder, featuring a housing with a biometric verification portion and multiple interface options, ensuring portability and wide compatibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If key hardware is made small in size, then portability is improved, but it becomes indistinguishable from built-in fingerprint authentication devices and lacks interface compatibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple interface types (Type-C, Lightning, Micro-USB) into a single key hardware device, enabling it to connect with various electronic devices. The housing contains accommodation cavities for different interface portions, allowing the device to serve multiple authentication purposes across different device ecosystems rather than being limited to a single interface type.
2Volume of moving object
If key hardware is made small in size, then portability is improved, but it becomes prone to being forgotten or lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the key hardware authentication function with a housing that serves as both protection and identification. The housing incorporates the authentication component and can accommodate multiple interface portions, creating a unified device that is both compact and less likely to be misplaced due to its integrated design and visible identity features.
3Reliability
If traditional key hardware is used, then authentication security is achieved, but convenience and user experience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the key hardware into distinct functional modules: an authentication component (such as a fingerprint sensor or biometric verifier) and a housing that provides protection and interface accommodation. This segmentation allows the authentication function to remain secure while the housing provides ergonomic handling and multiple connection options, improving overall user experience without compromising security.
