Pulse Secure Door Access System with Biometric Health Screening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional security systems cannot verify the health status of individuals seeking entry, potentially allowing unhealthy persons into secure spaces and exposing verifiers to potential illnesses.
Innovation Solution
A pulse secure doorbell system that uses a camera and touch surface interface to unobtrusively check identity and health through fingerprint scanning, temperature measurement, and voice verification, while maintaining secure communication to authorize entry without direct human exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If visual inspection by a person is used to verify identity, then the verification process is simple, but the health status of the applicant cannot be determined and the verifier is exposed to potential illness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual visual inspection with automated optical and thermal sensing systems. A camera captures facial images for identity verification, while a thermal sensor measures temperature to assess health status. This substitution eliminates direct human contact and exposure while maintaining verification reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary verification device positioned between the applicant and the secure space. This device includes a display screen that shows verification results and a communication interface that allows interaction without physical contact, thereby protecting the verifier from illness while maintaining the verification process.
2Ease of operation
If a person directly verifies the applicant, then communication is direct, but the verifier is exposed to potential contagion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a communication interface that acts as an intermediary between the verifier and the applicant. This interface includes a display screen and audio communication capabilities, allowing direct communication while maintaining physical separation and preventing exposure to potential contagion.
Solution Approach 2:
Direct face-to-face communication is replaced with electronic communication through the verification device. The system uses audio output and display screens to convey information, eliminating the need for the verifier to be in close proximity to the applicant and thus preventing exposure to illness.
3Reliability
If traditional doorbell system is used, then the system is simple, but it cannot screen health status or ensure safety against illness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms a simple doorbell system into a multi-functional verification system. The device integrates identity verification through camera-based facial recognition, health status assessment through thermal sensing, and secure communication capabilities. This universal system handles multiple functions within a single device, improving safety while managing complexity through integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple verification functions into a single integrated device. The camera, thermal sensor, display screen, and communication interface are combined in one unit, allowing identity verification and health screening to occur simultaneously at the door, thereby improving safety without proportionally increasing system complexity.
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
Effectively verifies the identity and health status of individuals seeking entry, protecting both the verifier and others from potential health risks by ensuring only healthy individuals gain access while minimizing exposure to potential contagions.
Implementation Method 1
The interface 105 is activated by the applicant's finger 107 and includes a fingerprint scanner 203
Implementation Method 2
The interface 105 includes a camera 209 and thermometer 211
Implementation Method 3
The interface 105 includes a pulsometer 305 configured to read the pulse of the applicant's finger 107
Data Source
AI summary
A pulse secure doorbell system uses temperature and biometric readings from a person to determine their identity and their health status in order to allow entry through a door. A person presses their finger against a scanner that takes their print and their pulse. A camera measures the face. A thermometer measures their temperature. These metrics combine to provide a complete profile of the person prior to entry.
