Solution Overview

Problem

Existing biometric systems fail to securely bind facial biometric information to transaction details, leaving them vulnerable to improper binding or separation, which can be forged or altered.

Innovation Solution

Projecting transaction details onto a user's face and recording their response, such as verbal or gestural acceptance, to securely bind them to the facial biometric data, using existing credentials and protocols for verification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If biometric data is added to traditional password and PIN based controls, then security of access and transactional activities is enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple authentication factors (biometric data, password, PIN) into a unified access control system. The video capture system integrates facial recognition with traditional card access, creating a multi-layered security approach where different authentication methods work together within a single system framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The access control system is designed to support multiple authentication methods universally. It can operate with proximity cards alone, or enhance them with biometric verification, allowing the system to adapt to different security requirements and user scenarios without requiring separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If facial recognition or video recording is used to bind information cryptographically to transaction data, then transaction security is enhanced, but the time required for verification increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction securityVSAvoidverification time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system captures and processes video data in real-time during the transaction process. The video capture system continuously records the user's facial responses and binds this information to the transaction data as it occurs, rather than requiring separate post-transaction verification steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual verification processes with automated cryptographic binding of video information to transaction data. The system automatically captures, processes, and secures the biometric information through cryptographic methods, eliminating the need for manual verification and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of information

If transaction details are displayed on a computer screen with video in another window, then users can view transaction information, but the binding between user response and transaction details can be improperly separated or modified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction information visibilityVSAvoidbinding integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the transaction information display with the video capture process by projecting transaction details directly onto the user's face. This integration ensures that the video recording inherently contains the transaction information, making it impossible to separate or modify one without the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The user's face acts as an intermediary medium that carries both the transaction information projection and the video recording. By projecting transaction details onto the user's facial features, the system creates a unique binding where the video of the user's face serves as verification that they saw and responded to the specific transaction information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method of securely authenticating a user's response to a challenge request before completing a transaction is disclosed. When a user wishes to complete a transaction, an image is projected onto the user's face. The user reads the image in a mirror and responds accordingly. If the user identifies the correct image, the transaction is allowed to proceed.
