Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sensor-based authentication is implemented, then user authentication accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser authentication accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication system is segmented into multiple independent components: sensor modules for data collection, processing modules for authentication logic, and communication modules for data transmission. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system accuracy without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The computing platform is designed with multi-functional capabilities, serving as an authentication server, notification system, and data management platform simultaneously. This universal design reduces the need for separate dedicated systems, thereby improving authentication accuracy without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

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

2Speed

If 5G technologies are utilized for data transmission, then communication speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic transmission protocols where sensor data is collected and transmitted in scheduled intervals rather than continuously. This periodic action leverages 5G high-speed capabilities when needed while reducing energy consumption during low-activity periods, balancing communication speed and energy usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts transmission parameters such as data packet size, transmission frequency, and power levels based on network conditions and authentication requirements. This allows the system to utilize 5G high-speed capabilities selectively, improving communication speed when necessary while reducing energy consumption during normal operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If biometric identification information is collected, then authentication reliability is improved, but user privacy concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoiduser privacy concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary layer of encrypted data processing and secure transmission protocols between the sensor collection and authentication verification stages. This intermediary mechanism ensures that biometric information is processed in a privacy-preserving manner, maintaining authentication reliability while mitigating privacy concerns through cryptographic protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs ephemeral cryptographic keys and temporary data structures for processing biometric information, ensuring that sensitive data exists only transiently in memory and is immediately discarded after use. This approach maintains authentication reliability while minimizing privacy risks by preventing persistent storage of biometric data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to notification, and assistance systems that may utilize sensor-based authentication techniques. A computing platform may receive user information corresponding to a first user. The user information may be authentication information from a sensor and/or a first communication device associated with the user. Based on the received user information, the computing platform may authenticate an identity of the first user and determine a location of the first user. Then, based on authenticating the identity and determining the location, the sensor may retrieve data corresponding to the first user and transmit the data to a second communication device.
