Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional biometric systems rely on static biometric data, which can be replicated and manipulated for unauthorized activities, lacking sufficient security measures to ensure authorized access.

Innovation Solution

The generation and use of enhanced biometric data that incorporates machine-readable information with natural biometric data, allowing for secure and controlled access by encoding user profiles with event limits, transmitted via various formats like projected images or adhesive devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If static biometric data is used for event processing, then ease of operation is improved, but security is worsened because the data can be replicated and manipulated by unauthorized users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static biometric data into dynamic enhanced biometric data that changes based on user profiles, event types, and authorization levels. The enhanced biometric data is generated on-demand and includes temporal validity periods, making it dynamic rather than static, thereby improving security while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of biometric data by adding enhancement information such as user profile identifiers, event type restrictions, amount limits, and temporal validity. These parameter changes create multiple versions of biometric data with different authorization scopes, resolving the contradiction between ease of use and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If static biometric data is used, then device complexity is reduced, but security control is worsened because unauthorized activities cannot be prevented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidunauthorized activities
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments biometric data into base biometric data and enhancement information. The enhanced biometric data structure divides authorization control into multiple components: user profile identifiers, event type restrictions, amount limits, and temporal validity. This segmentation allows sophisticated security control without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer (the enhancement information) between the biometric data and the event processing system. This intermediary contains authorization rules and constraints that prevent unauthorized activities without requiring complex changes to the core biometric authentication mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If biometric data is made accessible to authorized users other than the user associated with the data, then adaptability is improved, but security is worsened because the data can be misused

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating specific user profiles with distinct authorization characteristics. Each profile has localized control over what events can be processed, what amounts are permitted, and which users can access the biometric data. This allows different users to have different levels of access and authority, improving adaptability while maintaining security through granular control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Systems for generating enhanced biometric data and using enhanced biometric data to process events are provided. A system may receive a request for enhanced biometric data from a first user and may extract details associated with the request. Based on the identity of the first user and the extracted details, a user profile may be selected from a plurality of user profiles associated with the first user. The user profile may include biometric data of the first user, predetermined limits on types of events to be processed, amounts, and the like. The system may generate enhanced biometric data based on the user profile and may transmit the enhanced biometric data to a computing device of a second user. The second user may then provide the enhanced biometric data when requesting to process an event. The system may evaluate the enhanced biometric data to determine whether it matches pre-stored biometric data and whether the event details are within the limits associated with the user profile from which the enhanced biometric data was generated. If so, the event may be processed.
