Palm Identification Interactive Display for Secure Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in accessing secured areas and making payments due to the need to carry multiple keys, cards, and remember numerous usernames and passphrases, leading to complexity in authentication and interaction processes.
Innovation Solution
A palm identification and in-place personalized interactive system that uses a controller with imaging systems to detect unique palm features, authenticate users, and project interactive content for interaction, allowing for simplified access and transactions without physical keys or cards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple keys, cards, and passphrases are used for authentication, then security coverage is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by using a single palm biometric identifier that can authenticate across multiple secured systems, payment platforms, and services. Instead of requiring separate credentials for each system, the palm print serves as a universal key that works across diverse applications, thereby reducing the number of authentication tools needed while maintaining broad security coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple authentication functions (identification, authentication, authorization) into a single biometric modality. By combining these functions into one integrated palm-based system, the patent eliminates the need to manage separate keys, cards, and passphrases, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining comprehensive security
2Reliability
If multiple keys, cards, and passphrases are carried, then security coverage is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by using the user's own palm print as the authentication credential. The biometric data is inherently personal and requires no external carrying or management. The system automatically captures and verifies the palm print without requiring the user to actively retrieve or present physical credentials, making authentication as convenient as presenting one's hand
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical authentication systems (physical keys, cards, tokens) with a biometric optical system. Instead of requiring physical manipulation of authentication objects, the system uses optical sensing of palm vein patterns, eliminating the need to carry physical credentials while maintaining security
3Reliability
If traditional authentication systems are used, then security is maintained, but productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming authentication processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-capturing and storing palm print biometric data during enrollment. During authentication, the system only needs to compare the current scan against the pre-stored template, rather than performing complex cryptographic operations or verifying physical tokens. This pre-processing of biometric data significantly accelerates the authentication process while maintaining security
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to easily open locks, access secured systems, and make payments by eliminating the need for separate keys and cards, simplifying authentication and interaction through palm-based identification and interactive displays.
Implementation Method 1
capturing, via a first imaging system, an image of the user's palm and detecting, by a controller using the captured image, one or more unique characteristic features of the user's palm
Implementation Method 2
projecting, by the controller, via a second imaging system, the user-specific interactive content onto the user's palm
Implementation Method 3
detecting, by the controller, via a third imaging system, a user's interaction with the projected user-specific interactive content on the user's palm

AI summary
A user is identified and an in-place personalized interactive display provided by detecting, via a first imaging system, one or more unique characteristics of a user's palm, identifying the user via the one or more unique characteristics and a database containing mappings between detectable unique characteristics and user identities, retrieving user-specific interactive content as a function of the identity of the user, projecting, via a second imaging system, the user-specific interactive content onto the user's palm, and detecting, via a third imaging system, a user's interaction with the projected user-specific interactive content. The user may be identified by transmitting the one or more unique characteristics to a remote authentication server and receiving, in response, an identity of the user. User-specific content as a function of the identity of the user may be retrieved from a remote interactive content server.
