Biometric Database Bureau for Location Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional biometric systems fail to effectively utilize biometric data for tracking an individual's location over time, lacking the ability to associate biometric data with locational information, which is essential for identity verification and security purposes such as preventing identity theft and locating individuals.
Innovation Solution
A system that collects and associates Biometric Data Sets (BDS) with locational information, allowing this data to be stored in databases for later access, enabling the tracking of individuals over time, with options for voluntary or mandatory participation based on security benefits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric data is collected and stored in conventional databases, then biometric identification can be performed, but the ability to track individual location over time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines biometric data and locational information into a unified database structure. The identity database bureau integrates BDS (biometric data sets) with corresponding locational information, allowing simultaneous access to both biometric identification and location tracking capabilities from a single centralized system.
Solution Approach 2:
The identity database bureau serves multiple functions: it performs traditional biometric identification, tracks individual location over time, and provides both functions through a single universal system. The database structure is designed to handle diverse queries including biometric matching, location retrieval, and temporal analysis.
2Ease of operation
If biometric data is collected without locational information, then data collection is simpler, but the system cannot establish or track person's location
Solution Approach 1:
The system collects locational information at the time of biometric data collection, establishing the location context before any tracking or analysis is needed. This preliminary capture of location data alongside biometric data ensures that when individuals are later identified through biometric matching, their location information is already available in the database.
3Reliability
If comprehensive biometric and locational data is collected, then location tracking and security benefits are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The database system is segmented into distinct functional modules: biometric data storage, locational information storage, and query processing. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex data types through specialized storage and retrieval mechanisms, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive tracking capabilities.

AI summary
Systems and methods for making biometric data susceptible to use in locating individuals and tracking the location of individuals over time are provided. The system may involve the collection of initial biometric data, including iris scans, and corresponding identification information, the entry of such data into a database, and then the further collection of biometric data associated with locational information and entry of that data into a database correlating to the first database.
