Facial Recognition Communication Address Update System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in communicating with individuals whose current communication addresses are unknown or when they are out of audible range, as communication addresses have become the primary identifier, leading to challenges in locating current contact points and accessing communication information.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that dynamically updates and provides current communication information based on biometric information, allowing users to associate communication information with facial recognition, enabling access to communication addresses through facial recognition technology, even when the user is out of audible range, and allowing dynamic changes to communication addresses via a 'My Current Device' option.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication addresses (phone numbers, email addresses) are used as personal identifiers, then communication can be established through known addresses, but it becomes difficult to locate current contact points when addresses change or are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces facial recognition technology as an intermediary between the communicator and the communication address. Instead of directly using communication addresses as identifiers, the system uses facial biometric data as a mediator to retrieve current communication information from a database, ensuring reliable communication even when addresses change or are lost
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical system of memorizing and managing communication addresses with an automated biometric recognition system. The facial recognition system automatically identifies individuals and retrieves their current communication addresses from a database, eliminating the need for manual address management and reducing information loss
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication addresses are assigned to a single person, then communication flexibility increases, but it becomes difficult to track and update current contact information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service system where the facial recognition database automatically manages multiple communication addresses for each individual. When a person changes their communication address, the system automatically updates the database with their new contact information, eliminating the need for manual tracking and reducing management complexity while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where communication devices continuously update the central database with current communication addresses. When an individual uses a new communication device or changes their address, the system receives feedback and automatically synchronizes the updated information across all connected devices, maintaining accuracy without increasing user burden
3Ease of operation
If facial recognition is used to access communication information, then communication accessibility improves, but security concerns arise regarding unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by requiring users to pre-register their facial biometric data and associate it with their communication addresses in a secure database before actual communication needs arise. This preliminary setup includes establishing authentication protocols and security clearances, so that when communication is needed, the system can quickly verify identity and grant access without compromising security
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic security measures where authentication requirements and access levels are adjusted based on the specific communication context, user history, and security risks. The facial recognition system can dynamically update authentication credentials and modify access permissions in real-time, balancing ease of access with security protection
Data Source
AI summary
A method, system and computer readable media for dynamically updating current communication information, for enabling access to current communication based upon biometric information and/or for allowing communication information to be associated with biometric information and then allowing this communication information to be provided to desired recipients.
