Biometric Identity Verification System Using Centralized Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for identity verification and user data access require individuals to carry cards and remember PINs, which can be inconvenient and insecure.
Innovation Solution
A method using biometric features, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, recorded and stored for verification, allowing cardless identity confirmation and user data access through a scanner and storage center, linked to external devices like banks, enhancing security with multiple biometric features and image recordings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a card and PIN are used for identity verification, then the verification method is simple and widely compatible, but the person must carry the card and remember the PIN which reduces convenience and security
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical cards and manual PIN entry with a biometric scanning system. The scanner captures biometric characteristics (fingerprint, facial features, iris patterns) and automatically processes verification, eliminating the need for physical cards and memory-dependent PINs. This substitution provides both convenience (no card to carry) and enhanced security (biometric uniqueness).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of the person's biometric characteristics and stores it in a database. During verification, the scanner captures a new biometric sample and compares it with the stored digital copy. This copying mechanism enables contactless verification while maintaining security through accurate biometric matching algorithms.
2Reliability
If multiple biometric characteristics are recorded and stored, then the security and identification accuracy are significantly improved, but the complexity of the storage and processing system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the biometric verification process into separate modular components: a scanning device for capturing biometric data, a storage center for maintaining biometric templates and user data, and a processing system for comparison and verification. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, managing complexity while enhancing security through multiple biometric characteristics.

AI summary
A method for verifying the identity of a person and providing user data linked thereto, characterized by the following steps: a) capturing at least one biometric characteristic (100) of the person by means of a scanner (200) intended therefor, b) storing the biometric characteristic (100) captured in step a) as a biometric reference characteristic (110) in a centralized memory (300), c) linking the at least one biometric reference characteristic (110) with a user data record (410) of an external facility (400) for example, banking institutions, d) capturing the at least one biometric characteristic (100) using a scanning device (500) intended therefor, e) reading the biometric reference characteristic (110) from the centralized memory (300) and subsequently comparing the captured biometric characteristic (100) and/or bar code (101) from step d) with the biometric reference characteristic (110), and f) if the reference characteristic (110) matches the biometric characteristic (100) captured in step d), retrieving and providing the user data record (410), linked with the biometric reference characteristic (110), of the external facility (400).
