Secure Media Session Initiation via Geospatial Proximity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile device network protocols do not allow for secure connections between devices for real-time transfer of captured photos and videos based on user proximity, posing security risks and data privacy breaches.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for establishing a secure media session between mobile computing devices by determining geospatial proximity, initiating a secure connection, capturing media content, associating it with a secure ID, and transmitting it to a third computing device, while disabling unnecessary device components for enhanced security and privacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If P2P networking and video transfer protocols are used for real-time media transfer between mobile devices, then productivity and real-time collaboration are improved, but security and data privacy are worsened due to exposure to cyber risks and data breaches
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a third-party server as an intermediary that facilitates secure media transfer between mobile devices. The server acts as a trusted mediator that establishes encrypted communication channels, manages secure connections, and mediates the transfer process, thereby maintaining both real-time productivity and data security through the intermediary's security protocols
2Reliability
If mobile devices establish direct secure connections for media transfer, then data privacy and security are improved by eliminating third-party server dependency, but device complexity increases due to requirements for secure protocol implementation and management
Solution Approach 1:
The third-party server serves as an intermediary that handles the complex secure connection management, encryption, and protocol implementation. This allows mobile devices to achieve secure direct-like transfers without bearing the full complexity burden themselves, as the server manages the cryptographic operations and secure channel establishment
3Ease of operation
If geospatial proximity determination is implemented for localized media transfer, then ease of operation is improved by enabling automatic device discovery, but use of energy increases due to continuous location tracking and proximity monitoring
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic proximity checks rather than continuous location tracking. The geospatial determination and device discovery occur at intervals or triggered by specific events, allowing automatic discovery functionality while reducing energy consumption by avoiding constant monitoring of device locations

AI summary
Systems and methods for executing a secured media transfer session between mobile computing devices during image capture. The system receives a request to initiate a secure media session, determines a first geospatial location of a first mobile computing device, determines a second geospatial location of a second mobile computing device, and determines whether the second mobile computing device is within a proximity of the first mobile computing device. In response to determining that the second mobile computing device is within the proximity of the first mobile computing device, the system initiates a secure media session between the first and second mobile computing device, captures the media content during the initiated secure media session, associates a secure ID with the captured media content and transmits the captured media content and associated secured ID to a first memory location at a third computing device.
