Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If conventional authentication methods (password or card) are used in shared peripheral apparatuses, then security is maintained, but user operation time increases due to multiple authentication steps and key input operations
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable terminal performs self-authentication using biometric information (fingerprint, face recognition, or iris recognition) without requiring user intervention for password entry or card insertion. The authentication process is automated through the wearable device's proximity detection and biometric verification capabilities, eliminating manual authentication steps and reducing operation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical authentication methods (physical card insertion, button pressing for password entry) with wireless communication and biometric recognition systems. The wearable terminal communicates wirelessly with the peripheral apparatus, and biometric authentication substitutes for manual password entry, streamlining the authentication process.
2Speed
If biometric authentication is implemented in shared peripheral apparatuses, then authentication speed improves, but device complexity increases due to biometric sensors and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the biometric authentication functionality from the peripheral apparatus itself and relocates it to the wearable terminal. The wearable device performs biometric recognition and authentication locally, then communicates the authentication result to the peripheral apparatus via wireless communication. This reduces the complexity of the shared peripheral apparatus while maintaining fast authentication speed.
3Productivity
If automatic data transmission is enabled upon authentication, then productivity increases by eliminating key input operations, but reliability decreases due to potential unauthorized transmissions
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable terminal acts as an intermediary that verifies authentication status before enabling automatic data transmission. The peripheral apparatus checks the authentication state through wireless communication with the wearable terminal, and only authorized users can trigger automatic transmission. This intermediary verification layer maintains security while enabling efficient automatic transmission for authenticated users.
Data Source
AI summary
A peripheral apparatus is provided and includes a function of generating electronic data from an information medium. Upon detection of the information medium, the peripheral apparatus starts processing including generating the electronic data using information acquired from the detected information medium and transmitting the generated electronic data to a destination registered in association with a user of an authenticated wearable terminal within a predetermined range, based on communication with the authenticated wearable terminal.
