Solution Overview

Problem

Existing server login systems face challenges in user authentication, particularly with password input visibility and noise interference in speech authentication, making it difficult for users to easily log in while maintaining security.

Innovation Solution

A server device that communicates with a client device, utilizing an identification information storage unit, reception unit, recognition unit, and login unit to match identification information with speech identification information from a speech input and output device, allowing secure and convenient user login.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If speech authentication is used for user login, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to external noise interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of login operationVSAvoidauthentication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication process is divided into two independent segments: speech-based identification (which improves ease of operation) and identification information verification from an identification device (which ensures reliability). The server device separately processes speech data to obtain speech identification information, then compares it with identification information from a dedicated identification device, requiring both to match for successful authentication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server device acts as an intermediary that receives and processes both speech data and identification information from the identification device. It mediates between the two authentication methods by comparing speech identification information with identification information from the identification device, only permitting login when both match, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If password input is used for user authentication, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to password visibility and input complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidlogin convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mechanical password input process (typing on keyboard or touchscreen) is replaced with speech-based identification. Users speak instead of typing passwords, eliminating the visibility and input complexity problems. The server device processes speech data to obtain speech identification information and compares it with identification information from an identification device, maintaining security while improving convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If voice print authentication is used, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to voice print changes over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication convenienceVSAvoidvoice print matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by requiring identification information from an identification device before final authentication. The identification device stores and provides identification information that serves as a preliminary check, ensuring that even if voice print changes occur over time, the authentication remains accurate by comparing against this stable reference information in addition to speech data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Identification information is stored in association with a user. The identification information is received from an identification device, speech data is received from a speech input and output device, and speech identification information is recognized from the speech data. At this time, when the identification information and the speech identification information match each other, the user corresponding to the identification information is permitted to log in.
