Internal Biometric Authentication via Physiological Markers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current biometric security systems face challenges due to high costs, bulkiness, and incompatibility issues, making them impractical for widespread use, especially in low-level or mass-produced systems, and they rely on external biometric markers which are not secure against identity theft.
Innovation Solution
A biometrically activated device that utilizes unique internal human biometric markers, such as internal physiological characteristics, to authenticate users by comparing scanned biometric data to a stored profile, providing secure access to electronic components without the need for expensive external scanning equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If external biometric markers are used for authentication, then user identification can be achieved, but security against identity theft is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the biometric authentication function from external markers (fingerprints, iris scans) and relocates it to internal physiological markers (blood flow patterns, metabolic rates, hormonal levels) that are stored and processed within the body itself, making the authentication data inherent to the user's biology rather than externally observable
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces physiological processes (blood flow, metabolism, hormone secretion) as intermediary layers between the user and the authentication system. These internal physiological markers serve as mediators that translate biological identity into authentication data, adding complexity that prevents direct copying or theft
2Measurement precision
If sophisticated biometric scanning equipment is deployed, then authentication accuracy improves, but device cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the human body to perform the scanning function itself through its natural physiological processes. The user's own blood flow, metabolism, and hormonal secretions automatically generate the authentication data without requiring external scanning devices, making the system self-servicing and eliminating complex external equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical biometric scanning equipment with physiological processes. Instead of using external sensors to scan fingerprints or iris patterns, the system utilizes the body's internal physiological activities (blood flow dynamics, metabolic rates) to generate authentication data, substituting mechanical detection with biological generation
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional security measures are used, then implementation is simple and cost-effective, but security against fraud is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the human body universal by enabling any individual to serve as their own authentication device. The physiological markers (blood flow patterns, metabolic rates) are inherently present in every person, eliminating the need for separate authentication devices for each user and allowing the system to scale universally across all individuals
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of authentication from static external features (fingerprint patterns, iris structure) to dynamic internal physiological parameters (blood flow rates, metabolic concentrations, hormone levels). These dynamic parameters continuously change while remaining unique to each individual, providing both simplicity and security
