Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing access management systems face inconvenience due to QR code checks and low accuracy of body temperature tests, particularly in managing access to spaces like restaurants during infectious disease outbreaks.
Innovation Solution
A biometric information-based access management system using a smart mask to measure biometric data, such as body temperature, and a management server that determines authentication based on this data and public database information, continuously monitoring user health status within the space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If QR code check is used for access management, then access control can be implemented, but user convenience deteriorates due to manual scanning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service authentication by having the smart mask automatically transmit biometric data to the management server without requiring manual QR code scanning or physical presence at access points. The wearable device autonomously performs authentication operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical QR code scanning with automated wireless data transmission from the smart mask to the management server. This substitution eliminates the need for physical scanning operations and manual intervention.
2Measurement precision
If body temperature test is used for access management, then health screening can be performed, but measurement accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from measuring only body temperature to comprehensively measuring multiple biometric parameters including heart rate, respiration rate, and other physiological indicators. This parameter expansion enables more accurate health assessment and reliable access control decisions.
3Reliability
If continuous biometric monitoring is implemented, then health status tracking improves, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments monitoring functions by distributing data collection to multiple wearable devices that can operate independently. Each device monitors specific biometric parameters locally and transmits only essential data to the management server, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capability.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an access management system that determines whether to approve a user's authentication request for a management space based on biometric data measured by multiple smart wearable devices. The system includes a smart mask with a temperature sensor, a fan system for air circulation, and an external indicator for fan status, as well as a wireless headset with an additional temperature sensor. The management server verifies authentication conditions using biometric data and public database authentication data. The fan system dynamically adjusts airflow based on the user's biometric and environmental data, while the external indicator provides real-time feedback. The system enhances accuracy by incorporating body temperature correction from the wireless headset and calculating a comprehensive health score. By eliminating manual QR code scanning and improving body temperature measurement accuracy, the invention enhances authentication efficiency, user convenience, and access security while enabling continuous biometric monitoring.
