Biometric Data Access Control via Predefined Permission Sets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods fail to effectively manage and control access to biometric data, leading to unauthorized use and potential privacy violations, as users often lack control over how their biometric information is shared online.
Innovation Solution
A biometric data access system that applies user-defined access rules to requests for accessing content containing biometric data, using biometric identification data such as facial features, voiceprints, or fingerprints, to manage and regulate usage, allowing users to set permissions like 'block all use,' 'ask me always,' or 'allow for a fee,' and automatically obfuscating or modifying content to respect user rights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users share media content online without control mechanisms, then content accessibility and sharing ease are improved, but unauthorized biometric data use and privacy violations increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing biometric data access permission sets with defined rules before content sharing occurs. When content is shared, the system automatically detects biometric data and applies pre-configured permission rules to control access, thereby preventing unauthorized use while maintaining ease of sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (biometric data access permission set) between content sharers and content receivers. This intermediary layer automatically handles biometric data access control by detecting biometric information and applying predefined rules, eliminating the need for manual permission checks while preventing harmful access.
2Reliability
If biometric data access control rules are implemented, then unauthorized access is prevented, but system complexity and access control overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses copies of biometric data access rules stored in permission sets rather than implementing complex real-time verification systems. The permission sets contain copied rule definitions that can be automatically applied when biometric data is detected in shared content, simplifying the access control mechanism while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation where biometric data access control is automatically enforced without requiring manual intervention. When content is shared and biometric data is detected, the system automatically applies the relevant permission rules and enforces access control, reducing system complexity by eliminating manual permission management.
3Measurement precision
If automatic biometric data detection and rule application is implemented, then access control accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining biometric data access permission sets with specific rules before content sharing occurs. When biometric data is detected in shared content, the system only needs to match the detected data against pre-configured rules rather than performing complex real-time analysis, thereby improving detection accuracy while reducing processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the approach from continuous monitoring to event-driven parameter-based control. Instead of continuously analyzing all content, the system monitors for specific biometric data parameters and only then applies the relevant access rules, reducing computational overhead while maintaining accurate biometric detection and control.
Data Source
AI summary
A processing system including at least one processor may receive a first request to access a content by a first user, identify that the content includes biometric data of a second user in accordance with biometric identification data of the second user, and apply at least one biometric data access rule of a biometric data access permission set to the first request in response to the identifying that the content includes the biometric data of the second user.
