Cooperative Biometric Identity Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Biometric identification systems face limitations in verifying identities due to differences in data storage, resolution, and capabilities between identification databases and identity systems, which can lead to inefficiencies and incomplete functionalities when used alone.
Innovation Solution
A system that cooperatively uses digital representations of biometrics to verify identities in both identification databases and identity systems, allowing for enhanced capabilities such as enrollment, action execution, and improved fidelity of identity verification by accessing and updating information across both systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If biometric identification is performed using only an identification database, then the system structure is simple, but the verification fidelity and functional capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines an identification database and an identity system into a cooperative biometric identification system. The identification database stores biometric data for verification, while the identity system provides additional identity information and capabilities. By merging these two previously separate systems, the patent achieves higher verification fidelity through cross-validation while maintaining reasonable system complexity through standardized interfaces and protocols.
2Adaptability or versatility
If biometric data is stored in a single database, then the storage structure is simple, but the system lacks adaptability and complete functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the biometric identification system into two functional parts: an identification database for storing and verifying biometric data, and an identity system for storing and providing identity information. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while providing adaptability and complete functionality when used together, without requiring a single complex monolithic storage structure.
3Productivity
If a single system is used for biometric verification, then the hardware and software components are fewer, but the system cannot perform functions requiring cooperative capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal biometric identification system where the identification database and identity system work together through standardized interfaces. This multi-functional architecture allows the system to perform various functions including biometric verification, identity confirmation, and information retrieval, achieving high productivity without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.

AI summary
A system enhances capabilities by cooperatively using identity systems and identification databases. In some examples, a system uses a biometric to verify an identity for a person with an identification database, accesses identity information for the person in an identity system using the biometric, and performs an action using the identity information. In various examples, a system attempts to verify an identity for a person with an identification database using a biometric, attempts to verify the identity for the person with an identity system using the biometric, and performs an action if the identity is verified. In a number of examples, a system obtains a biometric and identity information for a person; uses at least one of the identity information or the biometric to verify an identity for the person; and, upon confirming the identity with an identification database using the biometric, enrolls the person in an identity system.
