Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If control, monitoring, and security systems are made accessible over communication networks and the Internet, then remote access and convenience are improved, but vulnerability to unauthorized access and hacking increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication system that mediates between users and the control/monitoring/security systems. This intermediary layer verifies user credentials and device legitimacy before allowing access, blocking unauthorized connections while permitting legitimate remote access. The intermediary acts as a security gateway that filters traffic and prevents direct exploitation of vulnerable systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements preliminary authentication and verification measures before allowing any access to occur. By pre- validating user credentials, device identities, and access permissions before establishing connections, the system prevents unauthorized access attempts from succeeding. This preliminary security check neutralizes potential threats before they can compromise the system.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If authentication mechanisms are added to secure remote access, then security against unauthorized access is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it verifies user credentials, validates device identities, manages access permissions, and logs authentication events. By consolidating these security functions into a single multi-functional authentication module, the system achieves comprehensive security without proportionally increasing complexity. The universal authentication mechanism handles various authentication types (user login, device pairing, permission verification) through a unified process.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus, including: an RFID reader system located at a first vehicle, which includes an RFID tag reader or a plurality of RFID tag readers; a processor; a database which stores information regarding a plurality of second vehicles, wherein at least one RFID tag is assigned to each of the plurality of second vehicles; and a display. The RFID reader system reads, scans, or detects, the at least one RFID tag assigned to the second vehicle or to each of the plurality of second vehicles. The processor identifies the detected second vehicle or the detected plurality of second vehicles. The processor obtains information from the database regarding the detected second vehicle or plurality of second vehicles. The apparatus provides information regarding the detected second vehicle or the detected plurality of second vehicles on or via the display.
