Secure Media Sharing with Distortion and Biometric Validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multimedia messaging systems lack effective security features to ensure that media content is delivered only to the intended recipient, as they do not prevent unauthorized viewing or capture of the content.
Innovation Solution
Implementing security features and preferences that generate distorted video content from media, which is viewable as the original when displayed but becomes distorted when captured, along with biometric validation and image recognition techniques to verify the intended recipient, and incorporating security features like passcode requirements and restricted forwarding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multimedia messages are forwarded to multiple recipients or posted on social media, then the reach and sharing capability is improved, but the security and control over content distribution deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the distribution control by creating separate permission sets for different sharing scenarios (direct forwarding vs. social media posting). The system divides recipient management into individual recipient controls and group/social media controls, allowing granular security management while maintaining versatile sharing options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic permission management where sharing rights are not fixed but can be modified by the sender at any time. The system dynamically updates recipient lists and permission levels, allowing the sender to revoke or modify access rights even after content has been distributed, thereby maintaining security control alongside sharing versatility.
2Ease of operation
If the recipient can forward the message to others, then the ease of sharing is improved, but the control over unauthorized distribution deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary permission system between the sender and potential recipients. The server acts as a mediator that enforces sender-defined permissions, allowing legitimate forwarding while blocking unauthorized distribution. This intermediary layer maintains ease of operation for authorized users while preventing harmful unauthorized viewing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If social media posting is enabled, then the reach beyond social network is improved, but the risk of content capture and unauthorized sharing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by pre-configuring permission restrictions before content is posted to social media. The sender defines in advance which recipients can access the content and under what conditions, creating preventive barriers against unauthorized capture and sharing before the content reaches vulnerable public platforms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing permission frameworks and recipient authorization lists before content distribution occurs. This preliminary setup includes defining social media posting rights and recipient access levels in advance, ensuring security controls are in place before any potential unauthorized viewing or capture can occur.

AI summary
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving an image, delivery instructions, and metadata associated with the image from a first device associated with a first user. The delivery instructions indicate to deliver the image to a second device associated with a second user, and the delivery instructions comprise security features and the metadata comprises a plurality of security preferences for delivery. Further, the plurality of security features and the plurality of security preferences are implemented on the image. In response to determination of a security risk due to the implemented security features or security preferences, the image is not delivered to the second device and a message is delivered to the first device indicating that the image was not delivered. Other embodiments are disclosed.
