Solution Overview

Problem

Current augmented reality and virtual reality wearable lens systems lack data security, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Innovation Solution

A Wearable Lens Device (WLD) equipped with a processing system, display system, and biometric scanner, which authenticates users and provides secure data access, along with a Geo-Positioning System (GPS) transmitter to ensure secure data access only within predetermined geographical areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wearable lens systems provide open data access, then ease of operation is improved, but data security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata accessVSAvoiddata security

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces biometric authentication (retinal, iris, or fingerprint scanning) as an intermediary layer between the user and the data access system. This mediator verifies user identity before granting access to secure data, thereby maintaining ease of operation for authorized users while preventing unauthorized access and ensuring data security.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If geographic restrictions are implemented for data access, then data security is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem structure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates GPS functionality into the existing wearable lens system, allowing the same device to serve multiple purposes: augmented reality display, biometric authentication, and geographic location tracking. By making the system multi-functional, the patent enhances data security through geographic restrictions without significantly increasing overall device complexity, as the GPS component serves dual purposes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If biometric authentication is added to wearable lenses, then data security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoiduser access

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual authentication methods (such as passwords or physical keys) with biometric scanning systems that automatically verify user identity through retinal, iris, or fingerprint recognition. This substitution maintains ease of operation by eliminating the need for users to manually input credentials, while simultaneously enhancing data security through more reliable and difficult-to-fake biometric verification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
