Biometric Rating Verification Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack accuracy in user ratings for content, as they rely solely on arbitrary user operations without considering biometric information, leading to potentially inaccurate assessments.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that uses biometric information to match user ratings with their emotional and mental states, allowing users to post ratings only when their biometric-based ratings align with their intended ratings on application software.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If user ratings are based solely on arbitrary user operations, then the operation process is simple, but the accuracy of ratings deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces biometric information as an intermediary element between the user and the rating system. The biometric information acquisition unit captures physiological data (heart rate, skin conductance, etc.) that serves as an objective mediator to verify the user's genuine emotional state, thereby improving rating accuracy without requiring complex changes to the user interface or interaction model.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by comparing biometric-based ratings with user-provided ratings. When discrepancies are detected, the system provides feedback to the user explaining the mismatch and offers the opportunity to revise the rating. This feedback loop ensures that the final rating reflects the user's true emotional response while maintaining system simplicity.
2Measurement precision
If biometric information verification is added to rating processes, then rating accuracy is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The biometric information acquisition unit operates automatically without requiring user intervention. The system self-Service by continuously monitoring physiological signals and generating biometric-based ratings autonomously. This eliminates the need for users to manually input additional data or perform extra actions, maintaining ease of operation while improving accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-acquiring biometric information during content consumption before the rating decision is made. This advance collection of physiological data ensures that when the user is ready to rate, the verification process is already complete or can be quickly finalized, minimizing any additional operational burden on the user.
3Reliability
If biometric information is used to verify user ratings, then the reliability of ratings is improved, but the time required for rating process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The biometric information acquisition operates continuously during content consumption rather than being activated only at rating time. This continuous monitoring ensures that physiological data is already collected and processed when the user wishes to rate, eliminating delays. The useful action of data collection continues uninterrupted, maintaining both reliability and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses partial action by selectively applying biometric verification only when ratings are submitted, not during entire content consumption. This approach collects biometric data continuously but processes it partially—only at the moment of rating submission—thereby maintaining reliability without requiring full processing time to be spent on verification, reducing overall time loss.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, in a case where a rating that is of a user for a rating target and that is based on biometric information of the user matches a rating of the user for the rating target on application software used by the user, permit the user to post the rating using the application software.
