Solution Overview

Problem

Current identity authentication methods in vehicles, such as password and biological feature authentication, interfere with the user while driving and are unstable due to environmental changes, affecting accuracy.

Innovation Solution

An identity authentication method that uses driving feature authentication, where the vehicle collects and analyzes driving behavior data to authenticate the user, ensuring stability and accuracy without interfering with the user's driving experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If biological feature authentication (facial, fingerprint, voiceprint) is used, then user identity can be authenticated, but authentication accuracy decreases and stability deteriorates due to environmental changes and body changes during driving

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication stabilityVSAvoidauthentication accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the authentication parameter from biological features (facial, fingerprint, voiceprint) to driving behavior features (steering wheel operation, pedal operation, seat adjustment). This parameter change makes authentication immune to environmental lighting changes and body changes during driving, thereby improving both stability and accuracy simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the user's own driving behavior data as the authentication basis. The user's natural driving habits serve as the authentication credential, eliminating the need for separate authentication actions and making the authentication process adaptive to the user's actual state without requiring user cooperation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If password or biological feature authentication is used, then user identity can be verified, but user driving is interfered with during the authentication process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoiddriving convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication system uses the user's natural driving behavior as the credential, eliminating the need for separate authentication actions. The user's steering wheel operations, pedal operations, and seat adjustments automatically serve as authentication data, making the authentication process transparent and non-intrusive to driving

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The authentication process continues seamlessly during normal driving operations without interrupting the driving flow. The system continuously collects driving behavior data and performs authentication in real-time, maintaining both driving continuity and authentication reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Measurement precision

If first authentication manner (vehicle key, password, biological feature) is used, then user identity can be authenticated with high individual identification degree, but authentication interferes with user driving

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual identification degreeVSAvoiddriving interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms the user's natural driving behavior into authentication credentials, eliminating the need for separate authentication actions. The driving behavior data (steering wheel, pedals, seat adjustment) automatically serves as the authentication basis, maintaining high individual identification without interfering with driving

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-collects and analyzes driving behavior data to establish authentication credentials before actual authentication is needed. By preliminarily building the authentication model based on driving habits, the system enables rapid and accurate authentication without requiring user actions during the authentication moment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An identity authentication method and a vehicle provide authentication of a user identity in a first authentication manner enabling permission to use a first function of the vehicle when the first authentication succeeds. The first authentication manner may include at least one of vehicle key authentication, password authentication, biological feature authentication, or connected device authentication. First driving data is collected and a second authentication is performed based on the first driving data. Permission to use the first function is disabled when the second authentication fails and is continued when the second authentication succeeds.
