Biometric Token Segmentation for Remote Device Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In remote locations with minimal internet infrastructure, maintaining up-to-date biometric data across computing devices is challenging due to limited bandwidth and processing power, especially when devices need to handle millions of biometric tokens.
Innovation Solution
A system that creates and transmits only a subset of updated biometric tokens associated with specific programs to user devices, optimizing bandwidth, processing power, and memory usage by periodically updating devices when they connect to the internet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the entire database of biometric tokens is downloaded to each device, then all biometric data is available on the device, but bandwidth, memory, and processing power are wasted on downloading and storing data that is not needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complete biometric token database into device-specific subsets. Each remote device receives only the biometric tokens relevant to its location and associated programs, rather than the entire database. This is achieved by identifying tokens associated with specific geographic regions and program identifiers, then transmitting only those subsets to corresponding devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and transmits only the necessary biometric tokens from the complete database to each remote device. By filtering tokens based on device location and program associations, the system extracts precisely the subset of data needed, eliminating unnecessary data transmission and storage.
2Loss of information
If biometric data is transmitted in full to ensure data completeness, then all user information is available, but the limited bandwidth in remote areas is overwhelmed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring the biometric data subset to each device's specific location and function. Devices in different geographic regions receive different subsets of biometric tokens based on their local program requirements, optimizing bandwidth usage while ensuring each device has the complete data it needs for its specific context.
3Reliability
If all biometric tokens are downloaded to handle any potential user verification, then verification reliability is maximized, but processing power and memory of cost-efficient devices are exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary filtering and identification of relevant biometric tokens before transmission to remote devices. By pre-processing the database to identify which tokens are associated with each device's location and programs, the system prepares optimized data subsets in advance, reducing the processing burden on resource-constrained remote devices.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for providing biometric data to a user device. The system includes an electronic processor, the electronic processor configured to receive, from a remote device, biometric data for a user and create a biometric token for the user based on the biometric data. The electronic processor is also configured to transmit the biometric token to a global token repository, periodically create, for a user device, an update package including a subset of updated biometric tokens from the global token repository that are associated with one or more programs associated with the user device, by identifying one or more updated biometric tokens in the global token repository associated with a program GUID of a program of the one or more programs, and transmit the update package to the user device when the user device is next in communicative contact with the electronic computing device.
