Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a USB key is used for electronic authentication in smart television or set-top box, then authentication security is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring USB interface and plugging/unplugging operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidconvenience of authentication
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the authentication algorithm from the USB key hardware and embeds it directly into the set-top box's processor. This eliminates the need for physical USB key insertion while maintaining the security function through software-based authentication code processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the authentication functionality previously separated in the USB key with the set-top box's existing processing capabilities. The authentication algorithm is integrated into the set-top box's processor, combining storage and computation functions into a single device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If a USB key is used for electronic authentication in smart television or set-top box, then authentication security is improved, but device complexity deteriorates due to requiring USB interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidcomplexity of authentication system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the USB interface requirement by extracting the authentication function from external USB key hardware and implementing it natively within the set-top box's processor, thereby simplifying the system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the set-top box's processor perform multiple functions including both general computing tasks and specialized authentication code processing. This eliminates the need for separate USB key hardware and reduces overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
