Biometric Data Integrity via User Identity Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing biometric information systems cannot reliably determine if the user wearing a bio-information measurement device is the same individual over time, leading to potential spoofing and unreliable biometric data.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that communicates with a bio-information measurement device to add identifying information to the measured biometric data, using features like brainwave analysis and calibration processes to verify user identity and detect changes in the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric information is measured using a bio-information measurement device, then biometric data can be obtained, but the system cannot reliably determine if the user wearing the device is the same individual over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information processing apparatus as an intermediary between the bio-information measurement device and the user identification system. This apparatus receives biometric information from the measurement device, adds user identification information to it, and transmits the combined data. The intermediary enables reliable user identification by bridging the gap between biometric data collection and user identity verification, solving the problem of unable to determine if the user is the same individual over time
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by having the information processing apparatus automatically add user identification information to biometric data without requiring manual intervention. The apparatus autonomously performs the function of linking biometric measurements to specific users, ensuring consistent identification over time while reducing operational complexity
2Reliability
If biometric data is collected without adding user identification information, then the measurement process is simple, but the data reliability and anti-spoofing capability are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the biometric data collection function with user identification by having the information processing apparatus add user identification information to the biometric data. This combination ensures that each biometric measurement is reliably linked to a specific user, enhancing data reliability and anti-spoofing capability while maintaining a unified processing workflow
3Reliability
If user identification information is added to biometric data, then user identity can be verified over time, but the data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing user identification information that can be added to biometric data. The information processing apparatus is configured to automatically attach user identification to biometric measurements, ensuring user identity consistency over time while streamlining the processing through pre-prepared identification data
