AR Headset Facial Recognition for Secure Peer-to-Peer Data Transfers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network systems lack secure authentication mechanisms for users transferring data, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access and fraudulent activities, and are limited in handling transfers across different service networks and resource availability.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality user device employing facial recognition, voice recognition, and predetermined signals to authenticate users, generating transfer tokens for secure peer-to-peer data transfers, and allowing delayed or spontaneous transfers without prior knowledge of network services, while overlaying virtual objects onto real scenes for real-time alerts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional authentication systems are used, then users can authenticate themselves, but they cannot authenticate other people, making the system vulnerable to spoofing and fraudulent activities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality display device as an intermediary authentication tool that enables users to verify other people's identities. The device captures images of other users, performs facial recognition, and displays verification information to the user, serving as a mediator between authentication parties and eliminating spoofing vulnerabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication methods (passwords, physical tokens) with biometric-based facial recognition technology. The facial recognition engine automatically identifies and verifies users based on their facial features, providing more reliable and convenient authentication without requiring users to manually input credentials
2Ease of operation
If detailed information is communicated across the network for data transfers, then transfers can be facilitated, but the amount of data communicated increases, occupying network resources and reducing performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed for data transfers by using facial recognition to identify users and generate transfer tokens. Instead of communicating comprehensive user profiles and account details across the network, the system extracts minimal identifying information (facial features) and uses it to retrieve stored transfer information, significantly reducing network data transmission
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by storing transfer information locally in the augmented reality device's database before network communication occurs. When a transfer is initiated, the system retrieves pre-stored transfer details from the local database rather than fetching them from remote servers, reducing network traffic and improving transfer efficiency
Data Source
AI summary
An augmented reality system that includes an augmented reality user device for a first person including a head-mounted display configured to overlay virtual objects onto tangible objects in real-time, a memory, a camera, and one or more processors. The augmented reality user device is configured to perform facial recognition on the captured image to identify a face of the second person, to identify an entry for the second person, and to initiate a peer-to-peer transfer when the entry for the second person has been identified. The augmented reality user device is further configured to authenticate the identify of the second person, to generate a transfer token for facilitating the peer-to-peer transfer, and to send the transfer token to a first institution associated with the first person to initiate the peer-to-peer transfer. A network device of the first institution is configured to receive the transfer token and facilitate the peer-to-peer transfer.
