Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional login or complicated authentication procedures are used, then equipment security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication methods (login procedures, passwords, physical keys) with a biometric authentication system using facial recognition. The face detection unit captures facial images, which are then processed through geometric transformations and database matching to authenticate the operator, eliminating the need for manual login procedures while maintaining security.
2Ease of operation
If physical access to equipment is allowed, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to theft risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces facial biometric data as an intermediary authentication mechanism between the operator and the equipment. Instead of allowing direct physical access, the system requires verification of facial features through the face detection unit and authentication unit, which act as intermediaries to verify identity before permitting equipment operation.
3Reliability
If real-time facial authentication is implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the authentication system into distinct functional modules: a face detection unit for capturing facial images, an authentication unit for processing and analyzing facial data, and a database for storing biometric information. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, managing overall system complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of the operator's facial biometric data and stores it in a database. During authentication, the system captures a real-time facial image and compares it with the stored digital copy, enabling reliable verification without requiring physical presence of authentication materials or complex verification procedures.
