Biometric Data Capture During Normal Input Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing user-verifying processes for electronic devices, such as smartphones, are complicated and unfriendly to users, leading to low utilization rates and potential security risks due to the need for pre-stored fingerprint data and separate training modes.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus captures biological features automatically during normal user interactions, generating and storing biological feature data for verification without additional user prompts, using controllers like optical mice, touch screens, or voice-control modules to integrate fingerprint, iris, or voiceprint data seamlessly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fingerprint image data is captured and stored in advance through a separate training mode, then user verification can be performed subsequently, but the operation becomes complicated and unfriendly to users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the fingerprint capture process with the normal operation mode by integrating the fingerprint scanner into the existing input interface. When users perform normal input operations (such as touching the screen or moving the optical mouse), the system simultaneously captures fingerprint data without requiring a separate training mode, thus combining verification setup with日常 usage
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically captures and stores fingerprint data during normal operation without requiring explicit user instructions to enter training mode. The controller detects manipulating input operations and automatically triggers fingerprint capture, allowing the system to serve itself by creating verification data without additional user effort
2Reliability
If a separate training mode is used to capture fingerprint data, then fingerprint verification function can be established, but the utilization rate of user-identifying function remains low
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary fingerprint capture automatically during the user's first normal operation sequence. By detecting the initial manipulating input operation and triggering fingerprint data capture at this critical moment, the system ensures verification data is ready before the user needs to perform subsequent verification actions, thereby increasing function utilization
Solution Approach 2:
The controller continuously monitors user input operations and provides automatic feedback by capturing fingerprint data in response to each manipulating input. This feedback mechanism ensures that fingerprint verification function is activated and utilized naturally during normal device operation, preventing the function from remaining unused
3Reliability
If fingerprint data creation requires additional user inputs through operational menus, then fingerprint verification can be configured, but the process becomes complicated and confuses users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the fingerprint capture function from the complex operational menu system and integrates it directly into the normal input operation flow. The fingerprint scanner is activated automatically when users perform basic input actions (screen touching, mouse movement), eliminating the need for users to navigate through separate menu structures to configure verification settings

AI summary
A method is used for creating a biological feature data in an electronic apparatus with a user-operable controller. The method includes: capturing at least a biological feature of a user in response to a control signal generated by the controller due to a manipulating input operation of the user, thereby generating a biological feature data for user verification; and storing the biological feature data for user verification in the electronic apparatus while normally executing the control signal to perform a function corresponding to the manipulating input operation of the user.
