Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If mobile terminal is used for user authentication, then convenience is improved, but authentication time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconvenienceVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by detecting the user's approach in advance and pre-establishing communication channels. The detection sensor identifies when a mobile terminal enters the authentication area, triggering pre-configured authentication sequences and pre-loading necessary verification data, thereby reducing actual authentication time while maintaining convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional BLE communication is used, then device compatibility is improved, but communication time varies and increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidcommunication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts communication parameters based on real-time conditions. It monitors signal strength, device type, and authentication stage to automatically optimize BLE communication settings such as transmission power, packet size, and connection interval. This dynamic adaptation reduces communication time variability while maintaining broad device compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes communication parameters adaptively during the authentication process. It modifies transmission power levels, data packet structures, and communication protocols based on the detected terminal type and authentication progress. These parameter adjustments optimize communication efficiency for different devices while reducing overall authentication time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If mobile terminal acquires authentication information, then functionality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication information acquisition process is segmented into multiple parallel tasks. The system divides information gathering, verification, and processing into separate modular operations that can execute concurrently. Different authentication data types (biometric, credential-based, contextual) are processed through dedicated sub-routines, improving overall processing speed while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed is a control method of a control device, the control method including determining whether a movable object is located in a first area using a detection sensor, activating a first mode among operation modes of the control device when it is determined that the movable object is located in the first area, acquiring user confirmation information from a terminal when the first mode is activated wherein the user confirmation information corresponds to user-specific information stored in the terminal and is provided to the terminal by a server before the terminal provides the user confirmation information to the control device, transmitting processing request information based on the user confirmation information to the server so that the server performs processing on the user confirmation information, acquiring a processing result for the user confirmation information from the server, and providing the processing result for the user confirmation information to the terminal.
