Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face inefficiencies in information security verification processes, which consume time and occupy significant server bandwidth, especially when dealing with large data exchanges or numerous devices, and are vulnerable to hacker invasions.

Innovation Solution

A connection method utilizing near field communication (NFC) for direct verification between communication devices, allowing them to establish wireless connections without relying on a server, ensuring secure data exchange by performing mutual NFC verification processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If server-based safety verification process is used, then information security is ensured, but server bandwidth is significantly occupied and processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidverification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The verification function is extracted from the server and transferred to the communication devices themselves. Each device performs verification locally using stored verification information, eliminating the need for continuous server involvement in the verification process while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Communication devices perform self-verification using locally stored verification information. The devices autonomously complete the verification process without requiring server mediation, reducing server bandwidth occupation and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If server-based safety verification process is used, then information security is ensured, but device complexity and operation complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidverification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Verification information is pre-stored in communication devices before actual connection needs arise. When verification is needed, devices simply retrieve and use the pre-prepared verification information, simplifying the operational process while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If server-based verification is used for all connections, then security is maintained, but bandwidth occupation increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The verification function is extracted from the server and transferred to the communication devices themselves. Each device performs verification locally using stored verification information, eliminating the need for continuous server involvement in the verification process while maintaining security.
