Solution Overview

Problem

Current interpersonal communication systems lack effective methods for securely authenticating interactions with unknown individuals, particularly in situations that may compromise personal safety, and do not adequately address health and criminal justice parameters.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing biometric identification, such as fingerprint, iris, or retinal scans, linked with user data in a secure database, allows users to confirm identities and screen others based on preselected criteria before interactions, including health and criminal justice information, and records meeting details for safety and potential investigation purposes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If biometric identification and screening systems are implemented to ensure personal safety, then reliability of interpersonal interactions is improved, but device complexity and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a communication system as an intermediary between individuals seeking to interact. This system collects, verifies, and transmits biometric and background information between parties, allowing safety screening without requiring direct complex interactions between the individuals themselves. The intermediary handles the complexity of data collection, verification, and presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs all safety screening, biometric verification, and background checking before the actual interpersonal interaction takes place. By conducting these complex verification processes in advance, the system ensures reliability is established beforehand, allowing the actual interaction to proceed without real-time complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive biometric and background screening is performed, then measurement precision of individual identification is improved, but loss of time in the interaction process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidscreening time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects and verifies biometric data, background information, and criminal records before the interpersonal interaction occurs. This preliminary screening ensures high identification accuracy is achieved in advance, so when the actual interaction takes place, the verification process has already been completed and does not consume additional time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital copies and records of biometric data (fingerprints, photographs, retinal scans) and background information that can be rapidly retrieved and verified. These copied records allow for quick comparison and validation without requiring repeated collection of original data, reducing time loss while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
