Continuous AR Authentication via Object Position Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a system that implements continuous authentication within an augmented reality session using object location recognition to ensure secure access and protect critical systems and data from unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
The system uses an augmented reality application to receive a real-time visual feed, determine positional parameters of objects, and transmit control signals to grant or require re-authentication based on matching requirements, incorporating RFID tags and virtual object manipulation for dynamic authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional login-based authentication is used, then the system is simple to implement, but it only checks user identity once at login and cannot detect unauthorized access during the session
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous authentication by continuously monitoring object positions and comparing them against stored authentication patterns throughout the entire session, rather than performing authentication only once at login. This continuous verification process maintains security while allowing legitimate users to work uninterrupted.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the user's own habitual interaction patterns with objects as the authentication mechanism. The user's natural workflow becomes the authentication credential, eliminating the need for separate authentication actions while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If continuous authentication monitoring is implemented, then unauthorized access can be detected, but it requires continuous processing and analysis of user interactions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication by storing the authenticated user's interaction patterns with objects during legitimate sessions. These stored patterns are then used for rapid comparison during continuous monitoring, reducing the computational burden of real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of authenticated user interaction patterns and stores them for comparison. Instead of analyzing raw interaction data continuously, the system compares current interactions against pre-stored pattern copies, significantly reducing processing requirements.
3Measurement precision
If object position tracking is used for authentication, then user identity can be verified continuously, but it requires precise measurement of object locations
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a camera, which is a universal device already present in most computing devices, to track object positions. The camera serves multiple functions including user interface display and authentication monitoring, eliminating the need for specialized tracking hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or sensor-based tracking systems with optical recognition using a camera. Image processing algorithms analyze video feeds to determine object positions, substituting mechanical measurement systems with optical-based solutions.
