Solution Overview

Problem

Current operating systems, software, and hardware architectures are not optimized to leverage and utilize the full potential of biometrics and multi-biometrics in metadata streams, leading to security vulnerabilities and inefficiencies in user authentication and data processing, particularly in environments requiring high security and accountability such as financial transactions and data transmission.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that captures and utilizes biometric data with every action, keystroke, or gesture, integrating multi-biometric capabilities into devices and networks to enhance security, authentication, and data processing, including the use of pixel stacks and advanced sensor combinations for comprehensive biometric capture and analysis, and mandating biometric confirmation for access and data integrity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional operating systems and software architectures are used for biometric processing, then system compatibility and ease of implementation are maintained, but security vulnerabilities and processing inefficiencies occur

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the biometric processing system into distinct modular components: biometric data capture module, metadata stream integration module, authentication module, and forensic tracking module. This segmentation allows traditional operating systems to maintain compatibility while new security modules handle biometric processing independently, resolving the contradiction between security improvement and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer that sits between traditional operating systems and biometric processing functions. This intermediary module translates and adapts biometric data streams into formats compatible with existing OS architectures, enabling security enhancement without requiring complete system redesign, thus maintaining ease of implementation while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If biometric data is captured and processed with every action, keystroke, or gesture, then authentication security and forensic capabilities are significantly enhanced, but system processing load and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by capturing and storing biometric metadata continuously in the background during normal device operations, rather than processing intensive authentication requests in real-time. Biometric data is pre-captured with every action and stored in metadata streams, allowing rapid authentication decisions later without immediate heavy processing, thus reducing energy consumption while maintaining high security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by selectively processing biometric metadata based on authentication needs rather than analyzing every single data point continuously. The system captures excessive biometric data (with every action) but processes only relevant portions when authentication is required, balancing security enhancement with energy efficiency by avoiding constant full-scale analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If multi-biometric capabilities are integrated into devices and networks, then security and fraud detection are improved, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detectionVSAvoidimplementation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing a multi-functional biometric processing framework that handles multiple biometric types (fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scanning, etc.) through a single integrated architecture. The system can process various biometric modalities using common metadata stream handling and authentication logic, reducing implementation difficulty while enabling comprehensive fraud detection across multiple biometric sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating standardized templates and metadata structures for different biometric types. Instead of implementing unique processing pipelines for each biometric modality, the system creates reusable template copies that can be instantiated for different biometric sources, simplifying manufacturing and deployment while maintaining robust multi-biometric fraud detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Systems and devices generating biometrics associated with events triggered by actions of a users are disclosed, improving security, trust factors, functionality and automation potential. In accordance with the invention, redesign of operating systems, software, storage, medium formatting, applications (apps) and services, busses, compilers and chips smoothly incorporate biometrics, implying changes to software, internal chip machine code/internal operating system, storage medium, applications, communications structure and formatting and services. Improvements extend to private and public networks, cloud computing and potentially the networks' least common denominator elements. A wholly electronic trusted commerce solution is envisaged, taking advantage of electronic currency such as a bit coin, uniquely identified paper money combined with electronics and NFC or RFID variable wireless capabilities. Improvements also extent to forensic analysis for law enforcement and government. Features and routing priorities can be tailored in a network to regulate flow of biometrically marked with respect to other data.
