Solution Overview

Problem

Existing identity authentication methods across various scenarios are inefficient and cost-ineffective due to differing authentication rules, infrastructures, and participants, leading to inconvenience and high reconstruction costs.

Innovation Solution

A mobile communications authentication platform that determines correspondence between identifier information of devices, allowing for universal, cost-effective, and secure authentication by searching for and verifying the match between first and second device identifier information, and feeding back a determining result.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If different authentication rules and infrastructures are used for various identity authentication scenarios, then authentication requirements for specific scenarios can be met, but system complexity and reconstruction costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a unified authentication platform that can handle multiple authentication scenarios (door access, package receipt, payment, operation permission) through a single system. The platform uses standardized identifier information and correspondence verification mechanisms that work across different scenarios, eliminating the need for separate authentication infrastructures for each application while maintaining scenario-specific authentication requirements

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

2Reliability

If multiple network elements and authentication means are involved in identity authentication processes, then authentication security is enhanced, but operation simplicity and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple authentication means and network elements into a unified authentication process. Instead of handling fingerprints, voice, iris, cards, signatures, and seals through separate systems, the platform consolidates them all into a single correspondence verification mechanism that checks identifier information against stored correspondences, simplifying the operation while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The authentication platform acts as an intermediary between authentication requests and verification processes. It receives identifier information from various authentication means, performs centralized correspondence verification, and returns authentication results, thereby simplifying the interaction for end users while maintaining the security benefits of multiple authentication methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate authentication systems are constructed for different scenarios, then scenario-specific requirements are satisfied, but cost-effectiveness and efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescenario adaptabilityVSAvoidauthentication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The unified authentication platform achieves scenario adaptability through a universal correspondence verification mechanism that can authenticate different types of identifiers (device identifiers, user identifiers, vehicle identifiers) across various scenarios without requiring separate systems, thereby maintaining high authentication efficiency

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