Biometric Data Exchange in Head-Mounted Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual and augmented reality systems face challenges in providing comfortable and natural-feeling three-dimensional imagery due to accommodation conflicts, leading to eye strain and discomfort, and there is a need for a system that can securely exchange biometric information while preserving user confidentiality.
Innovation Solution
A head-mounted display system equipped with image capture devices and a hardware processor that captures eye images, communicates consent requests, and transmits biometric information securely based on user agreement, using a biometric information exchange system to facilitate the exchange of physiological and behavioral data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If biometric information is captured and exchanged for commercial purposes, then productivity and data utility are improved, but user privacy and data security concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a biometric information exchange system that acts as an intermediary between wearable display systems and biometric information acquirers. This mediator facilitates secure data exchange by implementing consent management, authentication protocols, and encrypted communication channels, thereby enabling productive data utilization while protecting user privacy through structured intermediary control mechanisms
2Object-affected harmful factors
If consent management protocols are implemented, then user privacy protection is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The biometric information exchange system implements multi-functional components that handle multiple tasks within unified modules. The consent management system integrates authentication, authorization, encryption, and audit logging functions into a cohesive framework, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive privacy protection through universal, multi-purpose architectural elements

AI summary
Head mounted display systems configured to facilitate the exchange of biometric information between the head mounted display system and another computing device are disclosed. The head mounted display system can comprise a virtual or augmented reality device. After displaying a consent request regarding biometric information with the head mounted display system, a response to the consent request that includes a consent indication regarding an aspect of the biometric information can be determined. After obtaining biometric information from a wearer utilizing e.g., a camera of the head mounted display, and processing the biometric information, a biometric information processing result can be generated. The result can be communicated from the head mounted display system to another computing device.
