Anonymous Health Access Control With Verified Biometric Screening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack effective means to ensure that individuals comply with health regimens before accessing premises and to verify the health status of individuals already inside, while protecting personal information and ensuring the authenticity of health measurements.
Innovation Solution
A smart-ticket system integrated with health measurement devices that confirm identity and health metrics, using self-operated or other-operated devices, ensuring that measurements are taken by the registered ticket holder, and maintaining encrypted health data for secure access control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If health measurements are taken using self-operated devices, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability of measurement authenticity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism where the health measurement device captures an image of the ticket holder and compares it with the registered image in the database. This intermediary verification step ensures that the person taking the measurement is indeed the ticket holder, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual verification mechanisms with automated image recognition and comparison systems. The health measurement device automatically captures images, compares them with stored records, and verifies identity without requiring manual intervention, thus maintaining ease of operation while improving reliability through automated authentication.
2Reliability
If personal information is shared for health verification, then reliability of health status confirmation is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary information for verification - specifically, the ticket holder's image and health measurement data - while leaving other personal information private. The system compares the captured image with the registered image and processes health measurements without requiring disclosure of additional personal details, thus maintaining reliability while minimizing information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary verification process where the health measurement device acts as a mediator between the ticket holder and the verification system. The device captures images and health data locally, compares them with stored records without requiring the ticket holder to share extensive personal information, and returns verification results without transmitting sensitive data, thereby maintaining reliability while protecting information.
3Reliability
If multiple health measurements are verified, then reliability of health regimen compliance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the health measurement device with multi-functionality, enabling it to perform various health measurements (temperature, pulse, respiration, etc.) and image capture within a single integrated system. The device can verify multiple health parameters against the health regiment requirements without requiring separate specialized devices, thus improving reliability through comprehensive verification while managing device complexity through consolidation.

AI summary
A system for governing a person's access to a premise or gathering based at least in part upon an anonymous authenticated health status. The person uses a personal computing device such as a smartphone operating an "honest broker" intermediary app to register one or more personal biometrics that remain private to the app. The app communicates with authenticating health measurement devices to determine health measurements regarding the person. When communicating with a health device during measurement, the app confirms the identity of the person by capturing new biometrics for comparison with the registered biometrics. When requesting entry to a premise or gathering, a person uses the app to provide an anonymous current health status to an access control system, where entry is granted or denied by the system based in part upon the status.
