Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If IP address verification is used to identify terminals, then the verification process is simple and fast, but the verification accuracy is low because IP addresses can be easily spoofed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification speedVSAvoidverification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the terminal identification process into multiple independent verification dimensions: IP address verification, transmission feature verification, and behavior pattern verification. By dividing the verification process into separate modules, the system can evaluate terminals comprehensively without relying solely on IP addresses, thus improving accuracy while maintaining efficiency through parallel processing of different verification aspects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces transmission features as an intermediary verification mechanism between the terminal and the network device. These transmission features (packet size, transmission interval, protocol usage) serve as indirect indicators of terminal authenticity, allowing the system to verify terminals through their communication behavior patterns rather than directly trusting IP addresses, thereby resolving the contradiction between simple verification and accurate identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If transmission feature reconstruction is performed using dimension reduction and increase encoding, then verification accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms transmission feature verification into a parameter-based mathematical problem by applying dimension reduction encoding to convert high-dimensional transmission feature data into lower-dimensional representations, followed by dimension increase decoding to reconstruct the features. This parameter transformation approach enables accurate verification through mathematical operations rather than complex pattern matching, improving accuracy while managing computational complexity through efficient linear algebra operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates reconstructed copies of transmission features through the dimension reduction and increase encoding process. Instead of directly analyzing complex original transmission data, the system generates simplified mathematical representations (copies) that preserve the essential verification characteristics. These reconstructed feature copies enable accurate terminal identification with reduced computational burden, as the mathematical models can be pre-computed and stored for rapid comparison.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A method, an apparatus, a system, a device, and a storage medium for implementing terminal verification are provided. In this method, a transmission feature of a terminal is reconstructed to verify the terminal. For example, if a difference between the transmission feature obtained through reconstruction and the transmission feature of the terminal is relatively large, it indicates that the transmission feature of the terminal is abnormal, and the terminal is an abnormal terminal. In this case, it is determined that the verification of the terminal fails.
