Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for controlling access permissions on computing devices are inadequate in ensuring secure usage, particularly in determining user presence and authentication, which can lead to unauthorized access and data security breaches.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a secure computing system that utilizes a combination of authentication devices, such as fingerprint sensors and iris scanners, and persistent presence monitors, like optical heart rate and pressure sensors, to determine user presence and authentication, allowing or denying access to the device and controlling its operation accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional access control methods are used, then device operation is simple, but security against unauthorized access is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple authentication devices (fingerprint sensor, iris scanner, voice recognition) and presence monitors (heart rate monitor, pressure sensor, temperature sensor) into an integrated access control system. This merging of multiple security mechanisms resolves the contradiction by providing comprehensive security while managing complexity through unified system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The access control system is designed to perform multiple functions: authentication, presence detection, and continuous monitoring. This multi-functionality approach allows a single system to address various security concerns simultaneously, improving reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Measurement precision
If multiple authentication devices and presence monitors are implemented, then user presence detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments presence detection into multiple independent sensor modules (heart rate monitor, pressure sensor, temperature sensor), each responsible for detecting specific physiological parameters. This segmentation improves detection accuracy by combining multiple data sources while managing complexity through modular architecture where each segment can be independently optimized.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that aggregates and analyzes data from multiple sensors. This intermediary layer coordinates the complex interactions between different sensors, enabling high-accuracy presence detection while abstracting the complexity from the overall system control.
