Digital ID Interface Using Remote Biometric Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for accessing digital identification on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring multiple key presses and wasting user time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method that uses remote biometric authentication criteria to determine if biometric authentication has been successfully completed on an external device, allowing data transmission only when criteria are met, and displaying an indication to complete authentication locally otherwise, thereby optimizing user interface and power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional identification access methods are used, then identification data can be accessed, but the process is cumbersome and time-consuming requiring multiple key presses
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs biometric authentication in advance by receiving authentication data from an external device before the user needs to access identification data. This preliminary authentication eliminates the need for multiple key presses during the actual data access process, directly reducing both the time and complexity of the operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary biometric authentication mechanism that mediates between the user and the identification data access process. Instead of direct manual authentication (multiple key presses), the system uses biometric data from an external device as an intermediary to verify identity and enable data access, streamlining the user experience.
2Productivity
If conventional identification access methods are used, then identification data can be accessed, but device energy is wasted particularly in battery-operated devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs biometric authentication in advance using data from an external device, completing the verification process before the user initiates data access. This preliminary action prevents unnecessary processor operations and energy consumption that would occur with conventional multiple-key-press methods, directly improving energy efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system leverages the external device's biometric authentication capability to serve the authentication function without requiring the primary device to perform redundant verification steps. This self-service approach allows the primary device to skip energy-intensive authentication processes while still securing data access.
3Loss of energy
If remote biometric authentication criteria are checked, then power is conserved by avoiding unnecessary data transmission, but additional processing is required to evaluate authentication status
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses biometric authentication data from an external device as an intermediary verification mechanism. Instead of implementing complex local biometric scanning hardware, the patent leverages the external device's authentication capability to verify user identity, reducing the need for complex local processing while conserving power.
Solution Approach 2:
The system copies and validates authentication status information from the external device rather than performing complete authentication processing locally. By receiving and verifying authentication data copied from the external device, the system reduces computational complexity while maintaining security and conserving energy.
