Solution Overview

Problem

Smart wall pads used in homes lack effective security monitoring, making them vulnerable to hacking due to inadequate security measures, particularly in the absence of proper Linux operating system updates and security protocols.

Innovation Solution

A smart wall pad equipped with a monitoring module that performs self-security checks, including data size verification, application program integrity inspection, operating system version updates, unauthorized data detection, rooting state assessment, vulnerability pattern identification, and wireless communication threat analysis, with a notification module to alert authorities of any security breaches.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If security monitoring is added to the wall pad, then security reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The wall pad performs self-security monitoring by including a monitoring module within its own system. The monitoring module autonomously checks system data, application programs, operating system versions, and other security parameters without requiring external monitoring systems. This self-service approach improves security reliability while avoiding the complexity of external monitoring infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring module is divided into multiple inspection components, each responsible for specific security checks: system data inspection, application program inspection, operating system inspection, and vulnerability inspection. This segmentation allows the complex security monitoring function to be managed through modular, independent inspection units, reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If multiple security inspection functions are implemented, then security monitoring capability is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity monitoring capabilityVSAvoidmeasurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring module checks multiple security parameters including data size of system data, parity codes of application programs, version numbers of operating systems, and presence of vulnerability patterns. By changing and verifying multiple parameters, the system achieves comprehensive security monitoring capability without requiring overly precise measurements of any single parameter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary security checks by verifying data sizes, checking parity codes, and comparing version numbers before potential attacks can occur. These preliminary actions detect security issues early, improving monitoring capability while using simple, straightforward verification methods rather than complex precise measurements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
