Ambient Cooperative Intelligence Authentication via Biometric Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current ambient cooperative intelligence systems face challenges in securely authenticating users and managing access within distributed intelligence platforms, particularly in mixed-media environments like clinical settings, where secure and efficient authentication is crucial for data integrity and privacy.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a computer-implemented method within an Ambient Cooperative Intelligence (ACI) platform that includes secure authentication processes, utilizing voice prints, face prints, and login information to authenticate users, allowing access only to authorized individuals and notifying both the user and third parties of access permissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional authentication methods (passwords, login information) are used, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability and security are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions authentication from traditional parameter-based methods (passwords, login information) to biometric parameters (voice prints, face prints). This parameter change enables both ease of operation through natural biometric inputs and improved reliability through the unique and difficult-to-replicate nature of biometric data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical authentication systems (keyboards, password entry) with acoustic and optical sensing systems. Voice-based authentication substitutes mechanical keyboard input with acoustic field detection, while face print authentication substitutes visual display and manual input with optical field detection
2Reliability
If multiple authentication methods (voice print, face print, login information) are implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The ACI platform is designed with multi-functional authentication capabilities that can handle multiple authentication methods (voice print, face print, login information) within a single unified system. This universal approach allows the system to perform various authentication functions without requiring separate dedicated systems for each method
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication module within the ACI platform that mediates between different authentication methods and the core system. This intermediary layer manages the complexity of multiple authentication methods by providing a standardized interface and coordination mechanism
3Reliability
If biometric authentication (voice print, face print) is used, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The biometric authentication system operates on a self-service basis where users naturally provide their biometric data (voice or face) without manual intervention. The system automatically captures, processes, and verifies biometric information, eliminating the need for users to manually enter authentication credentials
Data Source
AI summary
A method, computer program product, and computing system for initiating a session within an ACI platform; receiving an authentication request from a requester; and authenticating that the requester has the authority to access the ACI platform.
