Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional physical presence authentication methods are used, then security can be maintained through direct verification, but the system requires the individual to be physically inside the vehicle and reduces operational convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication systems (physical presence requirements, manual verification) with an optical-based gait recognition system. Sensors capture visual data of the individual's gait, and image processing algorithms analyze the unique walking patterns to authenticate identity, eliminating the need for physical presence inside the vehicle while maintaining security through biometric verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism - gait analysis algorithms that process visual data between the individual and the vehicle access system. This intermediary layer analyzes walking patterns captured by external sensors, providing a secure verification method that doesn't require direct physical interaction with the vehicle while still ensuring reliable authentication.
2Productivity
If physical interaction with the vehicle is required for authentication, then security can be ensured through direct contact verification, but the system increases complexity of interaction and reduces efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication actions by capturing and analyzing gait data as the individual approaches the vehicle, before physical contact or entry is required. The sensors continuously monitor walking patterns, and the system pre-validates identity, enabling rapid access authorization without requiring the individual to complete complex physical interactions with the vehicle.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the authentication function from the vehicle interior and places it in the external environment. By using sensors positioned outside the vehicle to capture gait data during approach, the system separates the verification process from physical vehicle interaction, simplifying the user experience and increasing authentication speed while maintaining security.
3Reliability
If centralized data management is used, then system control can be maintained, but security vulnerabilities increase and data protection becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized data management system into distributed components. Instead of storing all authentication data in a single centralized database, the system distributes data storage and processing across multiple nodes or locations, reducing security vulnerabilities associated with centralized storage while maintaining system control through coordinated data management protocols.
