Solution Overview

Problem

Existing biometric authentication systems fail to provide services at the appropriate time due to varying movement speeds of individuals, leading to potential misalignment between service points and users, especially in dynamic environments like airports or stores.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that utilize tracking cameras to monitor individual movement speeds and adjust service points accordingly, ensuring timely service delivery by predicting the arrival of users based on their movement patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a fixed service point is set up for biometric authentication, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the service timing is inaccurate due to varying user movement speeds

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice timing accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the service point movable rather than fixed. The service point dynamically adjusts its position based on the detected movement speed of the user. When users move faster, the service point is positioned farther away; when users move slower, the service point is positioned closer. This dynamic adjustment ensures accurate service timing while adapting to individual user characteristics, resolving the contradiction between service timing accuracy and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the service point is positioned farther away to accommodate fast-moving users, then fast users receive timely service, but slow-moving users arrive too late at the service point

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice delivery timingVSAvoidadaptability to different movement speeds
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the local quality principle by customizing the service point position for each user based on their individual movement characteristics. Instead of using a single fixed position for all users, the system detects each user's movement speed and positions the service point at an appropriate distance for that specific user. This localized adjustment ensures that both fast-moving and slow-moving users receive services at the optimal timing, resolving the contradiction between service delivery timing and adaptability to different movement speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If continuous tracking of user movement is implemented, then service timing accuracy is improved, but the amount of data processing and system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication continuityVSAvoidtracking system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the self-service principle by using the user's own movement characteristics as the basis for service point positioning. The system leverages the natural movement patterns that users exhibit as they approach the service area, rather than requiring complex external tracking infrastructure. By detecting and utilizing these inherent movement characteristics, the system achieves continuous authentication and accurate service timing while minimizing additional system complexity and data processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
