Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If biometric authentication using multiple sensors is implemented, then security and reliability are improved, but device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication system is divided into multiple independent sensor modules (fingerprint sensor, iris sensor, face recognition sensor, voice recognition sensor), each capable of performing specific biometric authentication functions. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high reliability through multiple authentication methods while managing complexity by organizing sensors as separate, modular components that can be independently controlled by the processor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple sensors are used for generating passenger images, then authentication accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs sensor selection and authentication processing without requiring user intervention. The processor autonomously determines which sensor to use based on pre-stored authentication types, captures biometric data, compares it with registered information, and completes authentication. This self-service approach maintains high authentication accuracy while preserving user convenience by eliminating manual sensor selection or input steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The authentication type for each sensor is predetermined and stored in advance in the system. This preliminary configuration allows the processor to automatically select the appropriate sensor without requiring real-time user decisions, thereby maintaining authentication accuracy through deliberate sensor choice while simplifying the user experience by removing decision-making steps from the authentication process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If automatic authentication without additional user input is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability may worsen due to potential unauthorized use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidauthorization security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates a feedback mechanism where the processor automatically compares captured biometric images with pre-registered authentication information stored in memory. This automated verification process provides feedback confirmation that the passenger is authorized, enabling convenient automatic authentication while maintaining security through accurate biometric matching. The feedback loop ensures that only authenticated passengers can access vehicle functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A control method of a transportation system including a mobile terminal, a vehicle, and a server. The control method of the transportation system comprises the steps of: generating a personal image including personal information of a user by the mobile terminal; generating, by the server, an authentication code of the user by using the personal image received from the mobile terminal; generating a passenger image including personal information of a passenger by the vehicle; and when the passenger image matches the authentication code, granting, by the vehicle, authority to use the vehicle to the passenger.
