Solution Overview

Problem

Current secure computing methods lack effective mechanisms for taking predetermined actions based on coded graphical objects in video content displayed by computer devices, such as barcodes or QR codes, which limits their security functionality and management capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A secure computing system that includes a host computer and a secure subsystem capable of analyzing video streams for coded graphical objects, allowing for predetermined actions like notification of a security service or automatic interaction with web services, such as logging into email accounts, by detecting and decoding these objects using pattern recognition techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If secure computing methods analyze video streams for coded graphical objects, then security functionality and management capabilities are enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The secure subsystem is nested within the host computer system, allowing the security analysis functionality to be embedded without requiring a completely separate system. The video stream analysis is performed within the existing system architecture, reducing overall complexity while enhancing security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

A secure subsystem acts as an intermediary between the host computer and the video stream analysis process. This mediator handles the complex pattern recognition and coded object detection tasks, isolating the complexity from the main system while providing enhanced security functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If predetermined actions are automatically taken based on detected coded objects, then productivity and security response are improved, but ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity response efficiencyVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Predetermined actions are configured in advance for specific coded graphical objects. When a coded object is detected, the pre-configured action is automatically executed, improving security response efficiency without requiring real-time user decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback mechanisms that allow users to review and adjust predetermined actions and configurations. This maintains ease of operation by enabling user control over the automated security responses while still achieving high productivity through automatic execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
