Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric data is collected using RF or UWB radar systems, then user identification capability is provided, but the identification is susceptible to counterfeiting and spoofing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the raw biometric data parameters (amplitude, phase, frequency) obtained from radar signals into a different parameter space using Fourier transform and other signal processing techniques. This parameter transformation creates a unique biometric signature that is difficult to counterfeit while maintaining the original identification capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple biometric parameters (amplitude modulation, phase modulation, frequency characteristics) into a composite biometric signature. This composite approach creates a multi-layered identification system that is more resistant to spoofing than single-parameter systems.
2Reliability
If additional security processes are implemented to prevent counterfeiting, then security reliability is improved, but system complexity and operation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service authentication where the system automatically performs biometric verification without requiring additional security steps from the user. The continuous authentication process runs in the background, eliminating the need for manual security interventions while maintaining high security standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous authentication that operates constantly in the background rather than as discrete security checks. This continuous monitoring provides ongoing security verification without interrupting user workflow, thereby maintaining security reliability without increasing operational complexity.
3Duration of action of moving object
If continuous authentication is implemented, then user identification availability is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic authentication checks that occur at optimized intervals rather than continuously at maximum intensity. The system monitors biometric parameters periodically and adjusts the frequency of detailed analysis based on confidence levels, reducing energy consumption while maintaining continuous authentication capability.
