Selective Collaborative Object Authentication With Biometric Seals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing collaborative virtual reality systems lack effective methods for selectively authenticating collaborative objects and providing access to virtual content in a secure and user-specific manner, particularly in augmented reality environments.
Innovation Solution
A collaborative method involving user authentication through biometric signals and hand gestures to authenticate collaborative objects, using devices with integrated cameras and sensors to capture and process user-specific data, ensuring secure access to virtual content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If collaborative virtual reality systems provide open access to virtual content, then ease of operation is improved, but security and user-specific personalization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication of collaborative objects before allowing access to virtual content. Users must authenticate the collaborative object (such as a virtual box or container) before they can interact with or access the virtual content it protects. This preliminary authentication step ensures security and user-specific personalization while maintaining ease of operation for authorized users.
2Reliability
If collaborative objects are authenticated selectively based on user identity, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses visual representations (such as seals, stamps, or graphical indicators) that copy or represent authentication status. Instead of complex cryptographic protocols visible to users, the system displays visual copies or representations of authentication state (e.g., a seal appearing on a virtual object to indicate it has been authenticated by a specific user). This simplifies the user interface while maintaining secure selective authentication based on user identity.
Data Source
AI summary
A collaborative session (e.g., a virtual time capsule) in which access to a collaborative object and added virtual content is selectively provided to participants/users. In one example of the collaborative session, authentication of the collaborative object is performed by all of the users to complete the collaborative session. Each user authenticates the collaborative object, such as using a stamping gesture on a user interface of a client device or in an augmented reality session. User specific data is recorded with the stamping gesture to authenticate the collaborative object and the associated virtual content. In an example, user specific data may include device information, participant profile information, or biometric signal information. Biometric signal information, such as a fingerprint from a mobile device or a heart rate received from a connected smart device can be used to provide an authenticating signature to the seal.
